Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for the HL-4 José Ramírez have ranged from $28 to $52 depending on the day and condition.
Condition Details
Card appears moderately centered top-to-bottom. Corners show slight softening likely due to the natural wood grain stock which is prone to chipping/fraying. Surface appears clean through the top loader.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if inspection outside of the top loader shows perfect corners/edges. Wood stock is notoriously difficult to Gem. A PSA 10 would significantly increase value, but an 8 or 9 may only cover grading costs.
Card Description
José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians is depicted in a follow-through swing. The card features a unique real-wood grain texture as part of the Heavy Lumber insert series, emphasizing his prowess as a power hitter. He is wearing the navy Cleveland jersey.
Notable Features
Real wood grain stock, Short Print 'Case Hit' status, specific 'Heavy Lumber' branding at the center.
Authentication Notes
The texture and thickness of the wood stock are primary indicators of authenticity. The 'Topps' logo and font styles are consistent with 2023 Series 1 releases.
