Market outlook
Stable Outlook 4/10
Minimal sales history and low liquidity for new 2025 release; value tied to player's performance without breakout yet
Next months. Stable low value unless draft lottery buzz; ungraded under $2
Long term. Potential rise to $10+ if Saraf makes NBA rotation; otherwise remains bulk

Collector notes
Condition. Check chrome refractor surface for scratches, fingerprints, or clouding; inspect edges for dings common in hobby boxes; centering issues on base cards; avoid print lines or roller marks on white borders
Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders with soft sleeves; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent chrome oxidation; humidity control under 50% ideal
Authenticity. Verify Topps hologram and print quality; base cards lack serial numbering so compare to official checklists; fakes rare but check eBay listings against SportsCardsPro images; graded/graded population reports for confirmation
