Description
This 2013 Choice card features a young Giovanny (Gio) Urshela during his time with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers. The card displays a vertical action photo with a textured tan border on the left containing his name and '2013 International League Top Prospects' text. The card includes a blue felt-tip marker signature across the center, likely obtained in-person or via mail, as this is not a certified pack-issued autograph.
Key Features
Early Minor League card of the popular MLB veteran; features his time in the Cleveland Indians developmental system; International League Top Prospect designation.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence on the card stock (Choice minor league cards use a specific semi-gloss flat stock). The signature matches Urshela's early-career looping 'G' style, but without a COA, it remains 'unauthenticated.'
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the bottom right and top left corners; the signature is not certified by the manufacturer (unauthenticated); minor edge chipping along the dark top border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the certification fees (approx $25-40 for auto authentication) will be higher than the card's market value. List it as 'Signed' or 'In-Person Auto' and use high-quality photos to show the card corners clearly.
