Description

Up for sale is a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor Carmelo Anthony rookie card that has been professionally authenticated and graded BGS 8.5 with the official designation: “Missing Serial Number.” This is a legitimate Topps factory anomaly, not an alteration or tampering. During the print/finishing process, a small number of Gold Refractors were finalized without the foil serial-number stamp despite being part of the same intended /50 print run. BGS recognizes this as an authentic error and encapsulated it accordingly. Because these missing-stamp cards come from the same production batch as the numbered copies, they are far rarer than the standard /50. Topps did not intentionally produce or distribute these, and only a handful are known to exist across the entire print run. These missing-stamp Gold Refractors surface only once in a great while. For collectors who value production anomalies, error rookies, or ultra-scarce variations, this is a unique opportunity to own a card even rarer than the standard /50 version. I do not accept returns, so please send offers with confidence. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail and signature confirmation.
