2025 Topps Heritage #531 Matthew Boyd Dark Blue Border Chicago Cubs
DARK BLUE BORDER
Matthew Boyd Dark Blue Border
2025 Topps Heritage High Number · #531 · Dark Blue Border · Chicago Cubs
You are buying the exact card pictured — the Dark Blue Border parallel - the frame around the photo is printed solid dark blue where the base card is white, which is the whole tell on this one. The plain white-border #531 is also in this batch and listed separately.
DARK BLUE BORDER - NOT THE BASE CARD
This is the Dark Blue Border version of #531, not the plain white-bordered base card. Put the two side by side in the scans and the difference is the border colour, and this parallel trades on its own market.
Why This Card Matters
Boyd made his first All-Star team in 2025 at age 34, the season this card covers, after signing with the Cubs and slotting into the middle of the rotation. Toronto drafted the left-hander in the sixth round in 2013 out of Oregon State. Heritage rebuilds a vintage Topps design each year - 1976 for this set - and its bordered parallels swap the frame colour rather than adding foil, so the Dark Blue is unnumbered and identified purely by sight against the white base.

Market-Informed Pricing
Suggested at $2.06 from the trailing-year Buy It Now comp set, filtered strictly to the Dark Blue Border. No Dark Blue sale falls inside the 30- or 90-day window, so Section 4.2's ladder drops to the trailing year, where three verified sales average $1.91 before the 8% premium. Because the result clears $2.00, auto-accept sits at 90% and the offer floor at 70%.
