Condition Details
The image is notably blurry, making a definitive grade difficult. However, visible issues include poor centering with heavy left bias and potential corner softening on the bottom right. Surface scratches cannot be ruled out due to the resolution.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if centered. This specific example appears left-heavy; if it grades an 8 or lower, the value increase may not cover grading fees. An 8.5 or higher is recommended before submitting.
Card Description
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels shown in a space-themed artistic design. The card features a planetary/galactic background consistent with the Cosmic Chrome brand, focusing on his dual-threat status as a 'Star'.
Notable Features
Features the 'Star Gazer' insert designation. High-gloss chrome finish. Features Ohtani in his Angels jersey. This is a rare 'Case Hit' which typically only appears once per master case of product.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic based on the specific holographic patterns and font of the Topps Cosmic Chrome 'Star Gazer' series. No immediate hallmarks of counterfeiting are visible, though clear high-res photos would be needed to verify surface etchings.
