Description
This is a 2017 Donruss 'Rated Prospect' card featuring Fernando Tatis Jr. during his time as a top prospect in the San Diego Padres system. The card features a white player-worn jersey swatch and a crisp blue ink sticker autograph on a holographic background. The design includes the classic Donruss 'D' logo and the iconic 'Rated Prospect' banner.
Key Features
Early prospect card for an MLB superstar; features both a memorabilia relic and an autograph; iconic 'Rated Prospect' branding.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Panini/Donruss holographic sticker autograph, correct card stock thickness for relic cards, and sharp micro-printing of the 'Rated Prospect' logo.
Flaws to Note
Relic cards often have 'soft' corners due to the card thickness. Slight right-to-left centering bias on the front borders. Potential for edge wear near the relic window cutout.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a quick sale. COMC is a good alternative for long-term consignment.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Early Auto' and 'Relic' in the title. Use high-resolution photos of the corners to reassure buyers of the condition. Ships best in a 100pt top loader and a bubble mailer.
