Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50; Graded PSA 10: $150 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific image variation have ranged from $35 to $55. PSA 10 copies have recently cleared the $175 mark.
Condition Details
The card appears slightly off-center toward the left boundary. There is minor chipping/whitening visible on the bottom-right corner. The surface and edges appear clean under the top-loader, but final assessment requires examination outside of the plastic.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if the surface is flawless. As a popular image variation of a Rookie of the Year winner, a PSA 10 grade significantly boosts liquid value. However, the slightly left-heavy centering may result in a PSA 9, which might not be profitable after grading fees.
Card Description
Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II shown in a horizontal action shot diving for a ball in the outfield. The card includes the Braves team logo, his 'OF' position, the 'RC' rookie logo, and the Topps All-Star Rookie Cup logo in the bottom right.
Notable Features
Features the official Topps Rookie Card (RC) logo and the Topps All-Star Rookie 'Gold Cup' logo. This is a designated 'Image Variation' (Short Print), which is much rarer than his standard Series 1 base card where he is shown batting.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct Topps gloss, card stock thickness, and sharp logo printing. The 'Topps' logo and Rookie Cup foil layering are consistent with genuine 2023 Topps production.
