Year & Era
2015 — Current/Chrome Era
Card Type
Radiant Rookie Autograph Jersey (RPA)
Grade
5-6 (Excellent) estimated
Rarity
Relatively rare as a numbered rookie autograph, though common in secondary markets due to player demand.
Overall Assessment
A damaged example of a high-end rookie patch auto from a celebrated college player whose NFL career was short-lived.
Condition Grade
5-6 (Excellent) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40; heavily dependent on the thick decorative borders.
Surface Condition
Poor to Fair; there is a significant white tear/abrasion on the player's jersey and visible scuffing.
Corner Condition
Softening and whitening visible on the bottom-left and bottom-right corners.
Edge Condition
Noticeable chipping and white 'snowing' along the bottom edge, typical of thick Spectra stock.
Print Quality
High-end foil and chrome finish, though the sticker autograph application is standard for this tier.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $12.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Inferior quality due to the significant surface tear on the player image compared to Mint examples.
Authentication Tips
Check for the Panini hologram on the back and the recessed sticker autograph with blue ink consistent with hand-signed examples.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended; the surface damage and player market do not justify the grading fees.
Red Flags
Surface damage (tear/abrasion) on the right side of the card; potential moisture exposure from the plastic wrap.
Provenance Notes
Originally distributed in high-end Spectra hobby boxes; this copy shows signs of improper handling post-pull.
Historical Context
Greene was a prolific WR at Florida State and a 5th round pick; this card represents his entry into the professional hobby.
Market Trends
Declining/Flat; Rashad Greene is no longer active in the NFL, limiting demand to Florida State or Jaguars completionists.
Investment Potential
Low; purely a sentimental or 'player PC' (Personal Collection) item.
