Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The card appears well-centered with sharp corners visible through the top loader; however, foilboard parallels are notorious for surface scratches and edge chipping which cannot be fully assessed without magnification.
Category

Manufacturer
Topps (Fanatics)
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While Profar is a former top prospect and a solid veteran, base-set parallels of non-rookie veterans have a niche market primarily for team sets and player collectors.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $12-15, PSA 9: $18-25, PSA 10: $45-60 (Note: Grading cost likely exceeds card value)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales of non-rookie 2023 Topps Blue Foil parallels range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Comparison to star players like Mike Trout in this parallel would be higher, but Profar remains in the common/veteran pricing tier.
Description
Featured is a 2023 Topps Series 2 Jurickson Profar #500 Blue Foilboard parallel. This card features a stunning cracked-ice style blue foil background that captures the light brilliantly. The design shows Profar in his Colorado Rockies uniform celebrating, with a secondary portrait in the bottom left corner. This specific parallel color is typically found in retail-exclusive Mega Boxes.
Key Features
Electric Blue Foilboard finish; Colorado Rockies team designation; High-gloss textured surface.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct 2023 Topps layout, high-quality foil stamping, correct player-team match for the 2023 Update/Series 2 transition. High confidence in authenticity; this card is not commonly counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Foilboard cards are extremely prone to microscopic surface scratches and 'snow' (white print dots). Centering looks slightly heavy toward the bottom edge locally. Slight micro-chipping possible on the sharp blue edges.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping), COMC, or Sportlots. This is a classic 'dollar bin' or 'filler' card for a set collector.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are a personal collector of Profar; the cost of grading ($20+) will likely be higher than the resale value. Ship using a penny sleeve and top loader in a plain white envelope (PWE) to keep costs low for the buyer.
