Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $55.00; PSA 10: $150.00 - $225.00
Recent Sales
Comparable sales for this specific "Topps Big League Topps Kids" insert have fluctuated between $35 and $60 in raw condition on eBay in mid-2024, driven by the player's high-profile debut.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom based on the green border framing. Corners and edges look sharp through the top loader, but there is a slight white speck/dust visible on the surface near the lower right edge.
Grading Recommendation
High recommendation for grading if the surface is clean. As one of Skenes' early MLB-licensed rookie season inserts, a PSA 10 grade significantly enhances liquidity and value, though the centering on this specific copy may cap it at a PSA 9.
Card Description
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes is shown in a follow-through pitching motion wearing his black and yellow Pirates jersey (#30). The background features a large yellow jersey graphic with 'SKENES 30' against a vibrant green field.
Notable Features
Part of the 'Topps Kids' insert subset designed by artist Joy Deangdeelert Cho. Features the official MLB Rookie Card (RC) logo on the back (not visible in image). Skenes is the 2023 #1 overall draft pick.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits the correct glossy finish, specific font styles for the 'Skenes' nameplate, and die-cut look to the player image characteristic of genuine 2024 Topps Big League production.
