Tyson Herro recognised by Beckett magazine
In arguably the craziest year in trading cards ever, it's an absolute honor to make the Top 20 Sports Cards of 2020 by the prestigious Beckett.
What makes this truly iconic, this is the only card in the Top 20 that isn't Topps, Panini or Upper Deck π
Thank you to everyone βοΈ pic.twitter.com/fDdMw5Iir7
