Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for 2023 Topps Silver Foil veterans generally fall in the $0.99 to $2.50 range plus shipping. High-profile pitchers like Valdez command the upper end of the base foil range.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the right border. Corners show minor softness, and the top edge has slight silvering/chipping typical of Topps Foilboard stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $19-$25) exceeds the potential market value for a non-rookie foil parallel unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint, which this appears to fall short of due to centering.
