Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 2000 Topps card stock, correct font spacing, and official foil stamping. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to high print run.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC are best for lower-value vintage/modern base cards, as individual shipping costs often outweigh raw card value.
Selling Tips
Best sold as part of a Ken Griffey Jr. lot or player run rather than individually due to low raw card value. If selling solo, use standard eBay envelope shipping with a top loader and penny sleeve.
