Description
Featured here is the highly sought-after 2024 Topps Series 2 Jackson Holliday Short Print (SP) card #405. This variation card features Holliday in his Baltimore Orioles orange jersey mid-swing. As the #1 overall prospect entering 2024, this card was a high-demand ladder-style short print included in Series 2 packs. The card features the 2024 Topps design with the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right and the classic Orioles 'Cartoon Bird' logo at the bottom left.
Key Features
This is a Short Print (SP) variation, which is significantly rarer than standard base cards. Jackson Holliday is the son of MLB great Matt Holliday and was the #1 overall MLB prospect. This card captures his official MLB debut season call-up hype.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock thickness, Topps 75 logo foil placement, and the specific 'Series 2' finish are consistent with authentic 2024 Topps releases. This specific photo variation is well-documented in the hobby.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly shifted to the left. There is a minor hint of whitening on the bottom right corner tip. Possible surface dimples or micro-scratches typical of 2024 Topps paper stock could be present but are not visible in the photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card due to the high volume of prospect collectors and 'Buy It Now' features. Facebook Baseball Card groups are also excellent to avoid high seller fees.
Selling Tips
Grading is recommended only if you believe the card can hit a PSA 10; otherwise, sell raw to capitalize on current interest. Use keywords like 'SP', 'Short Print', 'Variation', and 'Image Var' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer (ground advantage) for protection.
