Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated

Common specialty insert; high print volume typical of Match Attax trading card games.
Overall Assessment
A visually appealing card for a Pedri or Barcelona fan, though it holds more sentimental and aesthetic value than financial value due to its nature as a facsimile insert.
Condition Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly bottom-heavy and tilted to the right; borders are somewhat uneven.
Surface Condition
Visible surface scratching/scuffing on the foil; small indentations noticed near the bottom edge.
Corner Condition
Slight whitening/softening on the bottom left and bottom right corners; top corners appear relatively sharp.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping and silvering along the right edge; top edge shows slight rough-cutting typical of TCG production.
Print Quality
Standard TCG quality with heavily textured glitter/foil effect; decent saturation but susceptible to surface scuffs.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy shows more surface wear than pack-fresh examples; centering is within standard tolerance for this set.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Signature Style' text; note that the autograph is a gold-foil facsimile (printed) and NOT a hand-signed autograph.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; the signature is a facsimile by design, not a forged attempt.
Provenance Notes
Distributed in retail packs, starter packs, and multi-packs for the 2023-24 Match Attax season.
Historical Context
Pedri is a Golden Boy winner and the creative engine of FC Barcelona's midfield, following in the footsteps of Xavi and Iniesta.
Market Trends
Stable; Pedri remains a highly popular player, but TCG inserts like Match Attax have less long-term growth than premium 'Hobby' brands.
Investment Potential
Low; this is a collectible game piece rather than a primary investment asset.
