Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8 to 9)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $60; PSA 10 estimated: $150 - $225
Recent Sales
The 2024 Topps Golden Mirror SSPs generally sell in the $25-$75 range for non-superstar veterans on eBay; McCutchen has a dedicated following as a Pirates icon, keeping demand stable.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the right border. Corners and edges look sharp inside the top loader. No visible surface scratches or print defects through the plastic.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended if the card is a clear candidate for a PSA 10. For SSPs, the premium for Gem Mint status is significant, but a PSA 9 often sells for close to raw value after grading fees.
Card Description
Andrew McCutchen in his Pittsburgh Pirates home white jersey (No. 22), tipping his helmet. The background features a purple-to-yellow sunset gradient filled with recurring hot dog icons, part of the 2024 Series 1 Easter Egg/SSP sub-set.
Notable Features
Features the 'Golden Mirror' gold-foil Topps logo and 'P' logo on the front. This is an unannounced Super Short Print (SSP) variation commonly referred to as the 'Hot Dog' variation.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 2024 Topps Series 1 stock. The gold foil stamping and the specific image variation are difficult to counterfeit given the recent release date.
