Description
Unique 2024 Topps design featuring Pete Alonso's name on a Baltimore Orioles themed card. This card prominently features Ryan Mountcastle in Orioles gear despite the Alonso text. It features a canvas-textured, street-art style background with vibrant orange, blue, and purple spray paint effects. Ideal for 'Error Card' collectors or novelty enthusiasts.
Key Features
Total Cross-Player Error: Names Pete Alonso but shows Ryan Mountcastle of the Orioles. High-contrast artistic background styling. Potential Short Print design.
Authenticity Indicators
Medium Confidence. This specific card layout (Alonso/Orioles) does not appear in the standard 2024 Topps checklist, suggesting it is a custom 'art card' or a production error testing piece. The Topps logo font and placement appear accurate to the 2024 flagship design.
Flaws to Note
Corners show slight whitening. The bottom border is thinner than the top, indicating centering issues. Minor surface graininess due to the artistic textured finish.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform, specifically listing it as an 'Error' or 'Custom Art Card' to attract the right niche audience.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you can verify it as an official Topps SSP. If it is a custom card, sell it 'as-is' with clear keywords identifying that the player in the photo is Ryan Mountcastle. Use high-resolution scans to show the texture.
