Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card stock depth, gloss finish, and Topps logo placement are consistent with genuine 2023 Series 1 factory packs. This is a low-value base card and is not a target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a 'Braves Team Lot' on eBay or through a local card shop's 'common' bin. Not worth the individual shipping costs on premium platforms like MySlabs or Goldin.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $19+) heavily outweighs the market value. Best used as 'filler' in a trade or sold in a bulk lot of Atlanta Braves cards to minimize shipping overhead.
