Which Brandon Lowe card is the real rookie card
Topps has held the exclusive MLB license since its 2009 deal, so his licensed rookie cards are all Topps products. Lowe debuted with Tampa Bay in August 2018 but is not in 2018 Topps Update, so his RC logo cards are from 2019: Topps #114, Topps Chrome #151 and the Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs card RA-BL. His 2020 Topps card (#574) is a Future Stars card.

How to identify your Brandon Lowe card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Brandon Lowe card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
