Condition Details
Card appears well-centered with sharp corners visible through the sleeve. Slight surface dust may be on the sleeve rather than the card. Top edge looks clean.
Grading Recommendation
Highly Recommended. This is a desirable Short Print variation of a future Hall of Famer's second-year card. A PSA 10 grade would significantly increase the value compared to raw market price.
Card Description
Features Mookie Betts in a Boston Red Sox away jersey running the bases. Includes the Topps logo, player name, team, and 'OF' position designation.
Notable Features
This is a 'Short Print' (SP) variation photo, which is much rarer than the standard base card showing his batting stance. Features the 'Gold Cup' signifying he was a Topps All-Star Rookie the previous year.
Authentication Notes
The Topps logo holographic foil and font weight appear consistent with authentic 2015 Topps stock. Check the code on the back of the card (the last three digits of the fine print) to confirm the SP/SSP variation status.
