Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Chrome' logo in the upper left, the specific Mojo/Refractor texture, and the card stock thickness are consistent with 2021 production. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to manufacturing complexity vs value.

No major visible flaws. Topps Chrome from this era is prone to minor surface dimples or light scratches that are only visible under a jeweler's loupe. Centering on this copy looks better than average.

Selling Tips
