Recent Sales
Similar Orange Velocity parallels of Hall of Fame legends from 2021 Optic have recently sold on eBay for $20-$30 raw.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly heavy toward the top and right. Minor surface scratches are visible on the top-loader, but the card surface shows typical refractive texture. Corners and edges appear sharp through the plastic casing.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if seeking a Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection. The cost of grading often offsets the value gain for modern non-rookie parallels unless they achieve the highest grade.
Card Description
Deion Sanders is depicted in his Cincinnati Reds home pinstripe uniform in a batting stance. The card features a vibrant orange 'Velocity' cracked-ice background pattern with a chrome finish. The 'Optic Donruss' logo is in the top right, and his name and position (OF) are at the bottom.
Notable Features
Card is likely serial-numbered to /199 (standard for Orange Velocity in this set). It features Deion 'Prime Time' Sanders, a two-sport legend, in his baseball capacity.
Authentication Notes
The Panini Optic holo-effect and crispness of the 'Orange Velocity' pattern are consistent with genuine Panini stock. No signs of trimming or counterfeiting visible.
