Description
This unique card features Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in a design that mirrors the Topps Luminaries baseball aesthetic. The card highlights his status as the Round 1, Pick 5 selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. It features a dual-image layout with a full-action shot and a ghostly portrait background on a matte green and purple finish.
Key Features
Features the 2020 #5 overall pick; stylistically crosses over football players into a classic baseball card design template.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence this is a custom 'Art Card.' Topps lost their NFL license to Panini in 2016, so any modern Topps card featuring an NFL player in team logos is technically an unlicensed custom or a specific 'Topps Transcendent' style art piece.
Flaws to Note
A slight surface smudge is visible near the top left logo; standard edges for non-factory cut cards; centering is slightly off on the vertical axis.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay under 'Custom Baseball Cards' or through Miami Dolphins fan groups on Facebook.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will exceed the market value. Market it as a 'Custom Art Card' or 'Tribute Card' to avoid listing violations regarding unlicensed material. Ship in a bubble mailer for protection.
