Description
This premium 2020 Topps Triple Threads card features Cardinals legend Adam Wainwright. The card includes three game-used memorabilia swatches visible through die-cut windows that spell out 'HELPING HIMSELF'. It features a high-end textured background with gold foil accents and is serial-numbered 02/36 in gold foil on the bottom right.
Key Features
Low serial numbering (xx/36), game-used jersey material, die-cut 'text' relic windows, and features a beloved St. Louis Cardinals franchise icon.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps foil stamping, correct typeface for the serial number (02/36), and characteristic jersey mesh texture within the die-cut windows.
Flaws to Note
Corners show slight whitening (typical for 2020 Triple Threads thick stock), and there is minor edge wear visible on the white border areas. Thick relic cards are notoriously difficult to grade high.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now with Best Offer) or St. Louis-based Facebook sports card groups where team loyalty drives higher premiums.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading likely exceeds the value added for a mid-grade relic. Use keywords like 'Game Used', 'Patch', 'Cardinals', and 'Serial Numbered' in the title. Ship in a thick 100pt or 130pt top loader to prevent damage.
