User initially wondered if this was a /65 serial or insert — serial '65' is Cortes's jersey number, not a print run. First Cortes card as a Padre after his 2025 trade from Milwaukee. The ornate gold 'Padres' vertical frame is standard 2025 Topps Chrome Update team-treatment, NOT a special Heritage-style insert.
