Recent Sales
Raw copies of 2024 Topps foil parallels for veteran players typically sell for $1-$3 on eBay. Top-tier pitchers like King may command the higher end of that range during the season.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly uneven centering with a heavier border on the left side compared to the right. Corners appear sharp, but there is a potential minor chip on the top right edge. The foil surface is prone to micro-scratching, though none are significantly visible in this view.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. The cost of grading ($19-$25) exceeds the current market value for a veteran pitcher parallel that is not a low-numbered short print.
Card Description
Michael King is depicted in his San Diego Padres home pinstripe uniform in a pitching follow-through motion. The card features the Padres 'SD' logo in the bottom left and top left. The design includes a 'Topps 75' anniversary stamp in the top right corner. King is listed as a Pitcher.
Notable Features
Includes the 'SD' team logo and Topps 75th Anniversary logo. This is one of King's first cards showing him on the San Diego Padres following his trade from the New York Yankees.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Topps product. The holofoil pattern and 'SD' logo registration are consistent with 2024 Topps Series 2 production standards. No signs of counterfeit reproduction.
