Description
2022 Topps Chrome Overtime Elite basketball card featuring Jeremiah Faumuina of the Cold Hearts. This is a refractor parallel, identified by the rainbow-like shine when held under light. Card #56 in the set.
Key Features
Refractor parallel; Topps Chrome branding; features a prospect from the Overtime Elite professional league; high-quality metallic finish.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Topps Chrome logo placement, sharp printing of the OTE 'Cold Hearts' logo, and signature metallic 'refractor' sheen on the surface. No red flags for a reproduction.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center (top/bottom). No visible creases, but being held without a penny sleeve or top loader can lead to surface scratches which significantly drop the value of Chrome cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for trading cards due to eBay Standard Envelope shipping), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or specialized Sports Card Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
