Condition Details
Top edge shows slight factory fuzziness. Centering appears fairly balanced for this 1989-style border. Surface looks clean through the top-loader, with no visible scratches or print lines on the card itself.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it appears to be a flaw-free PSA 10 candidate. Relic cards are notorious for receiving lower grades (7s or 8s) due to corner thickness and edge chipping. Economy grading may exceed current raw value gains.
Card Description
Features Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds in a fielding crouch, wearing the Reds away white uniform. The card uses the iconic 1989 Topps wood-grain/red border design to celebrate the 35th anniversary. Positioned at the bottom right is a square swatch of red player-worn memorabilia.
Notable Features
Features a 'Player-Worn Memorabilia' swatch. Includes the '1989-2024 35th Anniversary' silver foil stamp. Design is based on the 1989 Topps set. While it does not have the 'RC' shield on the front, this is widely collected as one of his first Topps flagship rookie-year relics.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Topps product. Correct stock thickness for a relic card. Printing of the '35th Anniversary' stamp is sharp and high-quality.
