Description
This 2005 SPx Winning Materials card features Texas Rangers legend Michael Young. It is the 'Limited' parallel, featuring a high-quality multi-color jersey patch visible through the die-cut 'X' in the SPx logo. The card is serial-numbered 18/50 in silver foil on the bottom left. The design features a silver/grey holofoil finish with a red 'Winning Materials' header.
Key Features
Features a multi-color (3-color) patch from a game-used Texas Rangers jersey; low serial numbering to /50; Michael Young is a 7-time All-Star and Rangers Hall of Famer.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck holographic authentication would be on the reverse; the distinctive die-cut 'SPX' windows and serial number stamping font are consistent with 2005 UD production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping is visible on the bottom edge and corners (common for 2005 SPx thick stock). The silver foil surface is prone to micro-scratching. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the top.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach the widest audience of team collectors; COMC is a secondary option for long-term consignment.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the edge wear on the thick stock will lead to a lower grade than the cost of the service. List as '3-Color Patch' and include 'Serial Numbered /50' in the title. Best sold during the MLB season or Rangers team peaks.
