Recent Sales
Comparable SSP Golden Mirror variations for 2024 Series 2 mid-tier rookies have sold between $35 and $55 on eBay recently. Brice Matthews is a prospect with growing interest.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slight edge wear along the top border and minor corner softening on the bottom left. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right (roughly 60/40 ratio). Surface looks clean without visible print lines.
Grading Recommendation
May be worth grading if the surface is flawless. As an SSP variant, a high grade (PSA 9 or 10) significantly increases liquidity and value for collectors. However, visible edge whitening may cap the grade at an 8 or 9.
Card Description
Brice Matthews is shown in a Houston Astros orange alternate jersey (number 28) and navy hat. The image is an artistic, high-contrast action shot of him pitching/throwing. The background features colorful, textured brushstroke patterns in orange and blue. A 'Topps' logo is in the top right and an 'RC' logo is in the bottom right.
Notable Features
Features the gold-foil Topps logo on the front, characteristic of the 2024 'Golden Mirror' SSP variations. Includes the official MLB Rookie Card (RC) logo. As an SSP, it has a significantly lower print run than base cards.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Topps stock with appropriate foil stamping and gloss finish. The text fonts and logo placements match 2024 Series 2 production standards.
