Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $20; Graded PSA 10: $40 - $70. Note: This is an unusual card as it features Nolan Arenado (who plays for the Cardinals) incorrectly labeled as an Arizona Diamondback, and the photo is actually of Zac Gallen.
Recent Sales
Comparable error or variation cards from the 2024 Topps release typically sell for $10 - $25 on eBay depending on the player. Similar 'Hidden Gems' or SSP variations command higher premiums.
Condition Details
Card appears to have decent centering, however, the top right edge displays possible chipping or minor whitening. Surface is difficult to assess through the top loader which has significant scratching. The black borders are prone to showing edge wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for grading unless seeking to preserve the novelty of the error. The cost of $15-25 per card at PSA may exceed the market value gains, especially with visible edge wear on the black bottom border.
Card Description
The card features an artistic, paint-splatter style design with a holographic rainbow foil effect. It depicts a pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks (Zac Gallen) in a black alternate jersey, mid-delivery. The bottom text erroneously identifies the player as Nolan Arenado of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Notable Features
Major error card (Wrong Photo/Wrong Team for the named player). Nolan Arenado is a 3rd baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, whereas the image is of a D-Backs pitcher. Features the Topps logo in the top left and a unique textured background.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 2024 Topps stock and printing patterns are evident. The holographic effect matches standard Topps rainbow foil/refractor technology for this specific insert or parallel set.
