Recent Sales
Recent 2024 Chronicles Crusade high-tier parallels (/5 or /10) for mid-tier prospects range from $25 to $75 depending on the player. Saggese is a rising St. Louis Cardinals prospect, which helps value.
Condition Details
The card appears clean with sharp edges visible through the top loader. Standard Panini foil centering seems shifted slightly to the left. No visible surface scratches or corner dings in the primary photo.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if you believe he will be a breakout star. Given it is a /5 parallel, the scarcity makes it a candidate for PSA encapsulation to lock in the condition, though Panini unlicenced baseball traditionally has lower ROI than Topps.
Card Description
Thomas Saggese is shown in a St. Louis Cardinals away grey uniform mid-swing. The background features the classic Crusade 'knight/lion' shield motifs in a red and green checkered foil pattern with embossed crosses.
Notable Features
Hand-numbered 2/5 on the right side of the card, includes 'Rookie Card' RC logo tag at the top left, and features the Panini Crusade brand logo at the bottom.
Authentication Notes
The foil etching and specific typography match Panini's 2024 Chronicles production standards. The gold foil stamping for the name and numbering shows correct depth and reflective properties.
