Recent Sales
The 2024 Topps Mercury set is a premium, high-end release. Recent sales for Victor Wembanyama from this insert set have reached several hundred dollars, while other top prospects like Essengue are trending in the double to low-triple digits depending on immediate market hype for the set launch.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the bottom edge. Corners and edges look sharp through the top loader, though some surface static or minor dust is visible on the holder. Card is raw and unprotected until within the sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Potential for grading if centered perfectly. As a premium product card (Mercury), receiving a PSA 10 would significantly increase the value, but the current market for '8-Bit Ballers' inserts is volatile. Suggest grading only if surface is flawless.
Card Description
Noa Essengue is depicted in a Chicago Bulls jersey (number 24) dribbling a basketball. The design features a retro 8-bit video game aesthetic with pixelated cloud and grass backgrounds, and the '8-BIT BALLERS' title stylised in arcade fonts. The Chicago Bulls logo is featured in the bottom left corner.
Notable Features
Features the 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo in the bottom right corner. Part of the specialized 2024 Topps Mercury chase inserts.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits the high-gloss finish and crisp pixelation characteristic of the Topps Mercury product lines. Font and Topps logo placement are consistent with authentic 2024 releases.
