PRISM REFRACTOR - NOT THE BASE CHROME

This is the Prism Refractor version of #USC93, not the base chrome and not the standard Refractor. The diamond prism pattern is visible across the surface in the scans and this parallel trades on its own market.

Why This Card Matters

Ballesteros was hitting .368 at Triple-A Iowa when the Cubs called him up on May 12, 2025, and he debuted the next night as the starting designated hitter. The Venezuelan catcher signed with Chicago in January 2021, was a 2024 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game selection, and put up 43 home runs and 175 RBI across 304 minor league games. Prism is one of the middle tiers of the Chrome Update rainbow - unnumbered, so it carries no print run to point at, but visually unmistakable next to the flat chrome version of the same card.

Market-Informed Pricing

Suggested at $2.22 from the trailing-year Buy It Now comp set, filtered strictly to the Prism Refractor. No Prism BIN sale falls inside the 30- or 90-day window - the recent Prism activity has all been auctions, which Section 4.3 excludes - so the ladder drops to the trailing year, where sixteen verified BIN sales are on record. The trimmed average lands at $2.06 before the 8% premium. Because the result clears $2.00, auto-accept sits at 90% and the offer floor at 70%.
