⚾ Zac Gallen 2020 Topps Chrome #132 Prism Refractor Rookie RC Baseball Card PSA 10 GEM MINT — Born Madison New Jersey, University of North Carolina Tar Heels, St. Louis Cardinals 3rd Round Pick 2016, Traded to Marlins in 2017 Then Diamondbacks in 2019, Arizona Diamondbacks Starting Ace, 2023 World Series Pitcher, 2020 Topps Chrome Prism Refractor Parallel RC, PSA 10 GEM MINT

Card #132 from the 2020 Topps Chrome set in the Prism Refractor parallel — a premium Chrome parallel RC of Zac Gallen, the Madison, New Jersey right-hander who arrived in Arizona via the Cardinals and Marlins and developed into one of the most reliable starting pitchers in the National League West, carrying the Diamondbacks to the 2023 World Series — graded PSA 10 GEM MINT. The Prism Refractor parallel within Topps Chrome occupies a premium tier in the Chrome parallel structure: where the standard base Chrome uses the chromium refractor technology on a clean substrate, the Prism Refractor adds a distinctive prismatic background pattern to the Chrome stock — an additional layer of visual complexity that makes the Prism Refractor immediately identifiable as a step above the standard refractor. Zac Gallen at #132 in the Prism Refractor, at PSA 10 GEM MINT, is the premium parallel Chrome RC of a pitcher who has grown into one of the D-backs' most reliable starters in the franchise's return to World Series relevance in 2023. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Madison, New Jersey — UNC — The Cardinals Draft — The Trades That Brought Him to Arizona

Zac Gallen was born August 3, 1995, in Madison, New Jersey — the Morris County borough in the northwestern New Jersey suburbs of New York City, a community in the New Jersey commuter belt where the baseball culture is fed by proximity to both the Mets and Yankees markets and the dense high school and travel ball development ecosystem of the Northeast. He attended the University of North Carolina, where the Tar Heels program has historically been one of college baseball's most productive major league pipelines, developing pitchers and position players at a consistent rate. The St. Louis Cardinals selected him in the third round (106th overall) of the 2016 MLB Draft, and in December 2017 Gallen was included in the trade that sent Marcell Ozuna from the Marlins to the Cardinals, landing him in the Miami farm system. He pitched well enough in 2019 to be traded again just months later, this time to the Arizona Diamondbacks — the franchise where his major league identity was ultimately built. Sometimes the most significant career address is not the one listed on the original draft card. For Gallen, it was Arizona. Condition: NOS.

🏆 The Arizona Ace — The 2023 World Series — The Prism Refractor Premium RC

Zac Gallen became one of the Diamondbacks' most trusted starting pitchers during the rebuild years, developing a profile built on command, a plus curveball, and the ability to generate weak contact that keeps pitch counts efficient. By the 2023 season, he was the de facto ace of a D-backs rotation that helped propel Arizona to one of the most unlikely World Series runs in recent memory: a wild card team that defeated the Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies in the 2023 postseason before falling to the Texas Rangers in five games in the World Series. Gallen was at the center of that run. The 2020 Topps Chrome Prism Refractor #132, in PSA 10 GEM MINT, was produced when that 2023 postseason arc was still years in the future — the premium parallel Chrome RC of the Madison, NJ pitcher who would eventually take the mound in the World Series wearing the Sedona red of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Condition: NOS.
