Which Matt Shaw card is the real rookie card

Matt Shaw debuted in the March 2025 Tokyo Series, so his RC-logo cards are 2025 Topps products: a Series 2 rookie short print (#699), Topps Chrome (#219), Topps Update (#US200) and Chrome autographs. His Chrome Update card #USC135 is tagged RD (Rookie Debut), not RC. Topps, which also makes Bowman, is the MLB-licensed maker. His 2023 Bowman Draft Chrome card is his Bowman 1st, a prospect card, not an RC.

Grading Matt Shaw cards

A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) or BGS 9.5 is the top grade most collectors look for; it means sharp corners, clean edges, centered printing and an unmarked surface. A graded card and a raw one are different cards to look up.

How PSA, CGC and Beckett grade

PSA

Top grades:: Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.
Half grades:: 1.5 through 8.5 since February 2008; there is no PSA 9.5.

One overall grade on the label. Centering weighs heavily in it.

CGC

Top grades:: Pristine 10 (virtually flawless, 50/50 centering), then Gem Mint 10 and Mint+ 9.5.
Half grades:: Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.

Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.

Beckett (BGS)

Top grades:: Pristine 10; a Black Label Pristine 10 has a 10 in all four subgrades.

How to identify your Matt Shaw card and check what it sold for

Find the year and maker on the back of your Matt Shaw 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.

Check Matt Shaw rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
