Cooper Flagg Autograph Appraisal

Cooper Flagg Topps 'New Applicant' Autographed Rookie Card

This is a modern sports trading card featuring Cooper Flagg from the 'New Applicant' insert series produced by Topps. The card is styled with an office-themed design, mimicking a job application with clipboards, pen graphics, and a 'New Applicant' header. It features a portrait of Flagg wearing a Dallas Mavericks jersey (number 32) and includes a prominent 'RC' (Rookie Card) shield in the lower right corner of the image frame. A critical feature of this card is the blue ink on-card autograph located in the lower white section. The left border contains a silver refractor or holofoil pattern that reacts to light. Physically, the card is standard 2.5 x 3.5 inch size and is currently stored within a clear protective plastic top-loader, which has kept the corners and edges in seemingly sharp condition. There are no immediate signs of surface scratching, creasing, or ink fading visible through the protector. Note: This specific card is a 'custom' or 'fantasy' print type, as Cooper Flagg is a collegiate/high school prospect and not an official member of the Dallas Mavericks, making it a unique item likely produced for the hobby market outside of standard licensed NBA releases. The craftsmanship mimics high-end Topps Chrome releases with high-gloss finishes and deep color saturation.
