Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card is housed in the original Panini Flawless magnetic holder with the specific 'Flawless' logo security seal. The serial numbering font and foil stamping match known authentic examples from 2013.
Flaws to Note
Potential minor surface scratches on the magnetic case (not the card). Thick card edges often show minute chipping visible only under magnification. The factory seal sticker shows some light yellowing due to age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction with high starting bid or BIN/OBO), Comc.com (Elite service), or high-end Basketball card Facebook groups like 'Basketball Card Buy/Sell/Trade'.
Selling Tips
Do not break the Panini factory seal; these cards often carry a premium when 'uncirculated' in original housing. If selling on eBay, use 'Genuine Diamond' and 'Short Print' (SP) in the title. Take high-resolution photos of the serial number and the diamond under direct light to show clarity.
