Description
A stunning 2019 Topps Chrome Orange Refractor featuring Cincinnati Reds legend Joey Votto. The card features a vibrant orange sunburst/refractor finish. Votto is depicted in his Reds home red jersey, kneeling on the on-deck circle with his bat. The back is serial numbered out of 25, making this a highly limited chase card for team and player collectors.
Key Features
Extremely low print run (Limited to only 25 copies); Future Hall of Fame candidate; Iconic Topps Chrome Orange color match with Cincinnati Reds team colors; Beautiful dugout photography.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Chrome' logo has the correct refraction; the orange 'bubbles' pattern in the refractor finish is consistent with 2019 Topps Chrome production; card stock thickness is appropriate for Chrome. The serial numbering on the reverse (though not pictured, it is standard for this parallel) should be stamped in foil.
Flaws to Note
Vertical centering is slightly off-bottom. The right edge appears to have very minor factory silvering or chipping common in Chrome stock. Surface may have micro-scratches typical of cards stored in soft sleeves without top loaders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of Reds and Votto player collectors. It could also perform well in a specialized Facebook group like 'Reds Card Collectors.'
Selling Tips
Always use a top loader in addition to the penny sleeve pictured. When listing on eBay, include 'Short Print' and '/25' in the title. Best sold during the MLB season or immediately following a major career milestone announcement (like retirement or HOF induction).
