Condition Grade
PSA 9 (Mint) Estimate. Centering looks slightly heavy to the right (approx 60/40). Corners and edges appear sharp from the photo, but surface would need inspection for micro-scratches common on these matte/foil finishes.

Description
A visually striking 2023 Donruss 'Crunch Time' insert featuring New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge. The card design mimics a vintage cereal box, complete with a 'barcode' at the bottom and 'Crunch Time' branding. Judge is depicted in his follow-through batting stance against a bright blue and orange sunburst background. The card features a distinct matte finish with holofoil accents on the text and borders.
Key Features
Features the 2022 AL Home Run King and Yankees Captain; highly popular 'cereal box' themed insert set; clean, modern design that appeals to set builders and player collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct card stock thickness; high-resolution printing on the 'Donruss' logos; correct holofoil reaction on the 'Judge' nameplate. Confidence: High. This card is not currently a high-value target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-side centering bias on the front border. Darker edges on the bottom 'barcode' area are prone to tiny white chips (chipping). Minor surface dimples are common in this specific year's Donruss production.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now), COMC for long-term consignment, or local New York area card shows where Judge premiums are highest.
Selling Tips
Due to the lower raw value, grading is only recommended if the card is a guaranteed PSA 10; otherwise, sell raw. Use keywords like 'Yankees Captain' and 'Short Print Style Insert'. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer or eBay Standard Envelope.
