Topps Purple Chrome Appraisal

Zac Veen Topps Purple Chrome Baseball Rookie Card

This item is a Zac Veen baseball trading card, specifically a Topps 'Rockies' branded card, presented in a protective plastic top-loader. The card features an action shot of Zac Veen, a player for the Colorado Rockies, in a batting stance. He is wearing a white and pinstriped uniform with the number '13' visible on his back. The card has a distinctive purple chrome or refractive finish, which creates a vibrant, iridescent rainbow effect across its surface, particularly noticeable behind the player and along the card's borders. The 'Rockies' logo is prominently displayed in yellow text with a black outline at the top left, and the 'Topps' logo is visible at the top right. A small 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo is situated in the bottom left corner, confirming its rookie status. The player's name, 'ZAC VEEN', is printed in bold black letters on a yellow strip at the bottom. A circular emblem with the number '35' is visible on the batting cage net behind Veen, possibly indicating a special edition or anniversary subset. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with sharp corners and no visible creases, scuffs, or significant surface wear, which is indicative of its protective casing. The colors are vivid and the image quality is crisp. The plastic top-loader shows minor scuffs or dust, but these do not appear to affect the card itself. This type of card is typically made from thick cardstock with a chrome or holographic finish, signifying a higher-tier parallel within the Topps product line, often associated with a lower print run and increased rarity.
