Estimated Market Value
Raw: $120 - $180; PSA 10: $450 - $600
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies have fluctuated between $130 and $170 USD. Graded PSA 10 copies have recently realized premium prices over $500.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slightly off-center borders (top to bottom). Corners appear sharp, but minor surface wear is possible due to being handled without a sleeve in the photo.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for grading if the surface is clean. As a highly sought-after Rookie Card Image Variation of a star player, a PSA 10 grade significantly increases market value.
Card Description
The card features Julio Rodríguez of the Seattle Mariners rounding the bases in his home navy blue jersey (number 44). This specific photo is a Short Print variation, distinguishing it from his standard standing pose in Series 2.
Notable Features
Features the 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo in the top corner. This is the 'vibrant' image variation SP, a much rarer pull than the standard base rookie card.
Authentication Notes
The Topps logo, font thickness, and Mariners team logo alignment appear consistent with authentic 2022 Topps stock. No immediate signs of counterfeiting detected.
