Why This Card Matters

The flagship card for the Cy Young season, and the back prints it with the league-leading marks flagged in red: 29 games, 18-3, 177⅔ innings, 141 hits, 39 walks, 225 strikeouts, a 1.01 WHIP and a 2.38 ERA, worth 6.2 WAR. Both the strikeout and ERA figures carry the league-leader marker. Scroll the grid and the earlier leading seasons are marked too — 308 strikeouts in 214⅓ innings for Boston in 2017, and 274 for the White Sox in 2015. Career totals: 372 games, 138-83, 1,958⅓ innings, 2,414 strikeouts, a 3.04 ERA and 53.2 WAR. Chris Sale stands 6'6" and 180 pounds, throws and bats left-handed, and was born 3-30-89 in Lakeland, Florida, where he still lives. The White Sox took him in the first round of the 2010 draft, 13th overall; Atlanta acquired him by trade with the Red Sox on 12-30-23.

Plain Base — the Deepest Parallel Field of Any Sale Card Here

Flagship paper base. #316 required heavier filtering than any other card in this group. It is not the Gold /2025, Gold Foil /50, Independence Day /76, True Photo Variation SSP, Golden Mirror Image Variation SSP, Team Color Border SP, Black /74, Canvas /50, Vintage Stock /99, Green SandGlitter /99, Green Holofoil /99, Purple Rainbow /250, Blue Refractor /150, Diamante Foil, Pink Holo Foil, Pink Shimmer, Holofoil, Silver Crackle Foil, Topps Foil Pattern, 582 Montgomery Club, Spring Training, Meijer Tinsel SSP, Easter Green Leaf Foil or Flowers /50 — and it is not the 2025 Topps Holiday card, which some sellers mislabel with this same number.
