Recent Sales
Recent sales for 2024 Topps Purple Foil rookie parallels for relief pitchers range from $0.99 to $2.50 on eBay. Graded copies of similar low-tier rookies typically sell for slightly above the cost of the grading fee.
Condition Details
Moderate top-to-bottom centering bias. Top corners show minor soft points. Surface appears clean through the binder sleeve, though edges may have minor white chipping typical of foil releases.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The player is a middle-relief pitcher, and the Purple Foil parallel /799 is a relatively common high-print run numbered variant. The cost of professional grading ($15-$25) would likely exceed the market value of the slabbed card.
Card Description
Tyler Owens is pictured in his Detroit Tigers away grey uniform during his pitching follow-through. He is a right-handed pitcher with long hair and visible arm tattoos. The card features a vibrant purple foil border with a cracked-ice pattern, the 'Tigers' team name vertically on the left, and the 'RC' rookie logo in the top right corner.
Notable Features
Includes the official MLB Rookie Card (RC) logo. This is a serial-numbered parallel limited to 799 copies (the actual number is printed on the back of the card).
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits authentic Topps holographic foil effects, proper typography for the 2024 Series 1 design, and correct logo placement. No signs of counterfeiting are present.
