Why This Card Matters
Max Scherzer is a **three-time Cy Young Award winner (2013 with Detroit, 2016 and 2017 with Washington)**, a **two-time World Series champion (2019 and 2023)** and the author of **two no-hitters in 2015**. On **June 10, 2026 at Rogers Centre he struck out Kyle Schwarber for career strikeout number 3,500** — the 11th pitcher in major-league history to get there — and he sits at **222 wins and 3,507 strikeouts with a 3.27 ERA**. He also **started World Series Game 7 for Toronto in 2025**, his second winner-take-all Game 7 start, something no other living pitcher has done. This is his base card in 2025 Topps Chrome, the chromium version of flagship Topps.
| Player | Max Scherzer |
| Set | 2025 Topps Chrome |
| Subset / Insert | None — base set |
| Card Number | #260 |
| Serial Number | Not serial numbered |
| Team | Toronto Blue Jays |
| Attributes | Parallel: Base, Raw / ungraded |
| Condition | Raw / ungraded. Near Mint or better unless noted. Please review the front and back scans — they show the exact card you will receive, including centering, corners, edges and surface. **Centering cannot be measured against a border and I will not estimate it.** The Chrome front is **full-bleed**: pixel values run 33-37 (near black) from the extreme cut edge inward at every sampled row and column, and the design frame has no measurable contrast against the chrome background. The back is unusable for a symmetric measurement too, since the navy header band bleeds off one full edge. **Honest condition notes.** Corners are sharp. The cut edges show the white paper core as every Chrome card does, but it is **uneven — roughly 6-7 px (0.011 in) of white showing along the TOP edge against 2-3 px on the bottom, left and right**, i.e. slightly heavier top-edge silvering. There are two small white flecks on the black surface near the top edge. There is also **one faint near-vertical line in the mid-left photo area**, visible only at a 3.2x brightness boost; it may be a light surface scratch or a scan artifact and I could not resolve which. Ask and I will send an angled-light photo before you buy. |

Chrome vs Refractor Note
This is the **base Chrome, not a Refractor**, and there are two independent checks behind that. First, **the back stamp beneath the card number reads "CHROME" only, with no "REFRACTOR" line** — Topps Chrome prints the word where a refractor exists. Second, the front shows **no prismatic diffraction**: saturation mean 9.2, with no rainbow banding under a 2.4x brightness and 4x saturation boost. **Not serial numbered**, all four edges of both sides checked at native resolution. Back code CODE#CMP104426. One note for completeness: recent Topps Chrome base sets ran #1-220, so **#260 implies an expanded 2025 checklist**. The number on the card is crisp and unambiguous — it is stated here in case your own checklist disagrees.
