Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for standard 2024 Topps Chrome refractors for middle-tier prospects range between $0.99 and $5.00 depending on shipping conditions.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border. Significant surface glare makes it difficult to assess fine scratches, but corners appear sharp. There is a slight soft edge on the top right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) exceeds the current market value of the card unless it is a high-demand short print or 1/1, which this base refractor is not.
Card Description
Mick Abel is shown in a Minnesota Twins uniform in a pitching motion. The card features the Topps Chrome logo in the top right with the 'RC' rookie logo below it. The Twins 'TC' logo is in the bottom left, and the player name 'MICK ABEL' is at the bottom center. Note: The image appears to be a customized or mock-up card as Mick Abel is a prospect for the Philadelphia Phillies, not the Twins.
Notable Features
Features the official MLB 'RC' Rookie Card logo and the Topps Chrome brand refractor finish. Unique team association (Twins) which differs from the player's real-world organization (Phillies).
Authentication Notes
The card stock and chrome finish appear consistent with Topps Chrome production. However, the player/team mismatch (Abel is a Phillies prospect, card shows Twins) suggests this may be a custom card or a 'custom-made' error/reprint.
