Description
This is a 2021-22 Donruss Nicolas Batum card featuring the vibrant Green Laser parallel design. The card depicts Batum in his Los Angeles Clippers home white jersey. The 'Green Laser' effect provides a distinctive neon-green geometric refraction pattern along the borders, typical of retail-exclusive Donruss packs.
Key Features
Features the popular Green Laser parallel design found in retail Blaster boxes; player is a respected veteran and Olympic silver medalist; design includes the classic Donruss logo and geometric styling.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The Donruss logo, distinctive typeface, and multi-layered foil laser effect are difficult to replicate accurately. There are no known major counterfeits for this specific veteran base parallel.
Flaws to Note
The centering appears slightly favoring the right side. Retail laser parallels are prone to 'chipping' on the dark foil edges and micro-scratches on the surface if not sleeved immediately.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold on eBay as a 'Buy It Now' listing or via COMC (Check Out My Cards). Small value cards like this are often best bundled with other Clippers cards or players to save on shipping.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will far exceed the market value. When listing, use keywords like 'Clippers,' 'Green Laser,' and 'French Basketball.' Use a standard penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
