Condition Details
The card exhibits left-to-right centering bias. There is possible minor edge wear/whiteness on the bottom-right corner as seen in the photo. Surface shows typical refractive rainbow effects characteristic of the Silver Prizm finish.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value of a raw base silver prism does not justify the cost of grading fees (typically $15-$25+), unless the card is intended for a personal collection or is a 1-of-1 variant.
Card Description
Hideki Matsui is depicted in a batting stance wearing his New York (Yankees) road grey uniform. The card features a distinct 'Select' die-cut style design with a metallic, holographic finish. The player's name and 'NEW YORK' team city are located at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features the 'Select' brand logo and '2023' year stamp. This is a non-licensed product (no MLB logos), which is standard for Panini baseball releases from this era.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with standard Panini card stock thickness and refractive qualities. There are no signs of counterfeit reproduction.
