Card Type
Signature Style Insert (Facsimile Signature)
Grade
Raw - appears Excellent to Near Mint (6-7 estimated)
Rarity
Common Insert; frequently found in retail packs and starter sets.
Overall Assessment
A nice collectible for a Tottenham or Son fan, but lacks the scarcity or authentic autograph status required for high-end investment.
Condition Grade
Raw - appears Excellent to Near Mint (6-7 estimated)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-Bottom, 50/50 Left-Right. Match Attax cards often have wider bottom margins for gameplay text.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; card shows typical light scratching visible on foil surfaces of gaming cards; no major indentations.
Corner Condition
Excellent; slight whitening/softening visible on bottom right corner; others appear relatively sharp but typical for paper-stock gaming cards.
Edge Condition
Good to Excellent; minor silvering or chipping visible along the bottom edge due to the foil-on-cardstock production method.
Print Quality
Standard production quality for a gaming set; decent color saturation with a semi-gloss/foil finish.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $8.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard example for this set; centering and corners are average for high-volume printed gaming cards.
Authentication Tips
This is a facsimile (printed) signature, not a hand-signed autograph. Verify the smooth texture of the 'ink' which is part of the card's print layer.
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 clearly a facsimile as designed by the manufacturer.
