Description
An exceptional rookie autograph card of 2018 NL MVP Christian Yelich from the high-end 2013 Topps Tier One set. The card features a clear, blue ink on-card signature. Yelich is pictured in his early career Brewers uniform. The Tier One design utilizes a premium thick cardstock with a circular window for the autograph, making it a centerpiece for any collector.
Key Features
On-card signature (not a sticker), true rookie year autograph from a multi-time All-Star and MVP winner, high-end product brand (Tier One).
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text is visible. The ink flow and signature style match known early-career Yelich exemplars. The foil stamping and stock weight are consistent with 2013 Tier One production.
Flaws to Note
Image shows slight corner wear on the bottom right. Thick-stock cards like this often have 'snowing' or chipping along the edges from the factory. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom top-to-bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Fixed Price with Best Offer) is the most liquid market for this card. For a premium raw copy, consider MySlabs if you choose to grade it first.
Selling Tips
Do not sell as 'Raw' if you believe it can hit a PSA 9 or 10, as the price jump for graded Yelich rookies is significant. If selling raw, use high-resolution scans to show the thick edges clearly. List with keywords: 'RC', 'On Card Auto', 'MVP', and 'Brewers'.
