2023 Topps Series 1 Zac Veen 1988 Silver Foilboard Rookie Card Appraisal

2023 Topps Series 1 Zac Veen 1988 Silver Foilboard Rookie Card

This is a 2023 Topps Series 1 Zac Veen baseball card, featuring a retro design celebrating the 35th anniversary of the 1988 Topps set. The card is a 'Silver Foilboard' parallel, characterized by its shiny, reflective surface that produces a rainbow-like prism effect when it catches the light. Veen is depicted in his Colorado Rockies road pinstripe uniform in a full-swing follow-through action shot. The card features the 'Rockies' logo in yellow at the top left, the Topps logo at the top right, and Zac Veen's name in a yellow bar at the bottom. A circular '35th Anniversary' stamp is located in the bottom left corner, along with the official 'RC' (Rookie Card) shield. The card is standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and printed on a thick, premium cardstock. In terms of condition, the corners appear relatively sharp, though the top right corner shows a slight touch of wear. The centering looks slightly heavy toward the left and bottom borders. The surface shows high gloss with no major visible scratches or print lines in the provided image. This modern collectible pays homage to the 'junk wax' era aesthetics while utilizing modern high-end printing techniques.
