Topps Blue Border Appraisal

Luis Liberato 2023 Topps Blue Border Rookie Card (RC)

This item is a 2023 Topps base set baseball trading card featuring Luis Liberato, an outfielder for the San Diego Padres. The card is encased in a clear, rigid plastic magnetic one-touch holder, designed to protect the card's condition. The card itself has a vibrant blue border, indicating it is likely a parallel or variation of the standard base card, possibly a Blue Border Parallel. The front of the card prominently displays a full-body action shot of Luis Liberato in a Padres uniform, with the team's 'SD' logo visible on his cap. Below the main image, there's a smaller inset photo of Liberato's smiling face. The player's name, 'LUIS LIBERATO', is printed clearly at the bottom. A small 'RC' logo is visible in the top left corner of the card, signifying that this is a rookie card. The Topps logo is present in the upper right corner. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with sharp corners and no visible surface wear, scratches, or creases, which is further suggested by its protective casing. The colors are bright and well-saturated. The magnetic one-touch holder also appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible scratches or damage. The card's design identifies it as a product of the modern era of sports card manufacturing, likely produced in 2023 given the uniform style and the player's affiliation. The craftsmanship of the card is typical of Topps products, with clear printing and accurate color reproduction. The card is well-centered within the blue border.
