Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for the 2024 Topps Max Fried SP (Yankees jersey) range between $35 and $55 depending on the buyer's urgency. Graded copies have seen low volume but typically command a 3x premium for a Gem Mint 10.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slightly off-center borders (heavier on the left and bottom). Edges appear sharp from the image provided, but slight corner softening on the bottom left is visible.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if the surface is flawless. As an SSP (Super Short Print) variation featuring an error-style image (Fried plays for the Braves, not the Yankees), these 'Mirror' variations are highly collectible. A PSA 10 would significantly increase the value.
Card Description
Max Fried is depicted mid-pitch in a New York Yankees road uniform. This is a intentional photographic variation/'error' card as Max Fried has spent his entire career with the Atlanta Braves. The design is the standard 2024 Topps aesthetic with the team name 'YANKEES' running vertically along the side.
Notable Features
This is a 'Mirror Image' or 'Team Swap' Short Print. It is highly notable because it features a star player on a team he has never played for, utilizing a photoshopped or Spring Training style image to create a 'what if' scenario.
Authentication Notes
Card stock and print resolution appear consistent with 2024 Topps Series 1 production. The Topps logo in the upper right has the correct metallic finish. No signs of counterfeiting detected.
