⚾ Spencer Steer 2023 Topps Chrome #146 XFractor Rookie RC PSA 10 GEM MINT — Cincinnati Reds Infielder — Portland, Oregon — Oregon State University Beavers — The Topps Chrome XFractor Parallel — PSA 10 GEM MINT Certified — One of the Most Visually Distinctive Parallels in the Topps Chrome Product Family

⚾ A PSA 10 GEM MINT certified Spencer Steer 2023 Topps Chrome #146 XFractor rookie card — from the Topps Chrome product in the XFractor parallel, which stands for Extreme Fractal: a chromium-surface treatment that pushes the refractive pattern density to a maximum-fractal state across the card face, creating a more pronounced and visually complex light-scattering pattern than the standard Chrome Refractor achieves. The XFractor is one of the most recognizable Chrome parallels in the Topps product family — its extreme fractal surface is immediately distinguishable from a standard Refractor by the density and intensity of the pattern, and its placement within the Topps Chrome parallel hierarchy makes it a specific and sought-after target for Chrome collectors. Spencer Steer, the Cincinnati Reds infielder and outfielder who came up through the Minnesota Twins system before arriving in Cincinnati, is captured here in PSA 10 GEM MINT on the XFractor surface. PSA 10 GEM MINT: the maximum grade. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Portland, Oregon — Oregon State University Beavers — The Pacific Northwest Baseball Pipeline — 2019 MLB Draft

Spencer Steer was born December 7, 1997, in Portland, Oregon — the largest city in the state, situated at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers at the northern end of the Willamette Valley, a city whose cultural identity includes a significant youth sports infrastructure that has fed talent into the NCAA pipeline for decades across all sports. He attended Oregon State University in Corvallis as a Beaver — the program under head coach Pat Casey and then Mitch Canham that has been one of the most consistently successful college baseball programs in the country over the past two decades, winning College World Series championships in 2006 and 2007 and producing a steady flow of professional draft picks. Oregon State's analytical approach to player development and their system for building hitters with above-average plate discipline gave Steer the professional-level foundation that MLB organizations identified as projectable in the 2019 draft. Condition: NOS.

⭐ Minnesota Twins — Cincinnati Reds — The Trade — The MLB Debut and Development

Spencer Steer was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the third round (73rd overall) of the 2019 MLB Draft and developed through the Twins minor league system before being traded to the Cincinnati Reds in 2022. The trade brought him into a Cincinnati organization that was rebuilding around a young core — Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, TJ Friedl, and Nick Lodolo among others — and gave Steer the opportunity to play multiple positions, including third base and outfield corners, in a lineup that was being constructed for the future. His transition to Cincinnati accelerated his timeline to the major leagues, and he established himself in the Reds lineup as a switch-hitting contact hitter with solid on-base skills and position versatility. The 2023 Topps Chrome #146 XFractor PSA 10 GEM MINT is the maximum-grade certified chrome card of the Portland, Oregon product in his first official Topps Chrome document. Condition: NOS.
