Description
This card features Kansas City Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. on the iconic 1989 Topps design. It is a 'Mojo Refractor' from the 2024 Silver Packs, characterized by a distinct geometric etched pattern that produces a rainbow shimmer when held to the light. The front shows Witt Jr. in a dynamic running pose in his blue Royals jersey, with the '35th Anniversary' logo in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
35th Anniversary 1989 throwback design; Mojo Refractor finish exclusive to hobby/jumbo silver packs; featured player is a top-tier MLB superstar and MVP candidate.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Mojo' etching is distinct and difficult to replicate; pixelation on the nameplate 'Bobby Witt Jr.' matches Topps' modern printing standards; authentic 35th Anniversary holographic stamp.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (common for this set). Potential for microscopic surface scratches or 'dimples' inherent to the Mojo chrome plating process.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of Witt collectors. COMC is a secondary option for low-labor selling.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Mojo Refractor' and 'Silver Pack' in the title. If the card looks perfectly centered under a loupe, consider PSA grading to hit the '10' premium. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer or via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracked shipping.
