Long term. 1-3 years: If Schlittler continues to perform well, grades such as graded 9 and graded 10 could significantly increase in value. Long-term demand for Yankees rookies is strong.

Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws include print lines, corner wear, and edge dings. For graded copies, check for centering and surface spots. graded 9 is the highest graded, with only 1 copy, so lower grades may show more flaws[1].
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or snap case, keep in a climate-controlled environment away from humidity and direct sunlight. Use a penny sleeve inside the top loader for extra protection.
Authenticity. Fakes often have incorrect print quality, misaligned holograms, or poor cardboard stock. Authentic cards have precise printing, clear Topps or Bowman branding, and proper hologram features. Verify via graded, graded, or graded certification with matching serial numbers[1].
