$120.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #77893342 - Grade: GEM MT 10

This is a visually striking trading card from the 2022 Bowman Draft set, featuring Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds. The card showcases the 'Chrome Sparkle Refractor' parallel, giving the surface a glittering, prismatic appearance made up of sparkling dots, which is distinctive compared to typical refractors. The front design includes a dynamic action photograph of Elly De La Cruz in a red Cincinnati Reds uniform, running the bases with intensity. There is a 'Bowman Chrome' logo at the top left. The border is kept minimal with a red and silver accent that matches the Reds team colors. The PSA label at the top of the holder indicates that this card received a GEM MT 10 grade, which is the highest grade possible, suggesting excellent centering, sharp corners, clean edges, and a flawless surface. There is no autograph on this version. The Chrome Sparkle Refractor technology creates a holographic visual effect based on embedded reflective particles, frequently making these cards highly desirable to collectors. Elly De La Cruz is considered one of the most exciting up-and-coming prospects of the early 2020s in baseball, and his first Bowman cards are particularly sought after. The card clearly distinguishes itself by the sparkle technique, the lack of serial numbering, and the subtle 'Chrome' branding compared to base Bowman Draft cards.
