Grade
Raw — appears Excellent to Near-Mint
Rarity
Common Parallel; Red, White, and Blue Prizms are exclusive to Multi-Pack (Hanger/Cello) retail boxes.
Overall Assessment
A sharp-looking retail parallel of a core Super Bowl champion; ideal for a Kansas City Chiefs team builder or Drue Tranquill fan.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent to Near-Mint
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom-right; roughly 55/45 or 60/40.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; the chrome surface shows significant rainbow refraction but some minor surface scratches are visible on the top-right nameplate area.
Corner Condition
Sharp to the naked eye, though the bottom-right corner shows slight white chipping/softness.
Edge Condition
Good; however, typical for Prizm, there is slight silvering or rough cutting along the blue bottom edge.
Print Quality
High; vibrant colors and crisp photography typical of the 2024 Panini set design.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (PSA 10)
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy; many of these retail parallels suffer from centering issues, and this one is fairly typical for the print run.
Authentication Tips
Check for the 'Prizm' technology logo on the bottom; authentic cards have a distinct weight and a smooth, mirror-like finish that reacts to light in a spectrum.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection (PC); the cost of grading exceeds the market value for a non-rookie defensive player.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; card appears authentic and unaltered.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2024 Panini Prizm retail value pack or cello pack.
Historical Context
Drue Tranquill joined the Chiefs in 2023 and became an immediate impact player, helping them secure Super Bowl LVIII.
Market Trends
Stable; Tranquill is a key contributor to the Chiefs defense, but defensive player cards rarely see massive price spikes unless during a Super Bowl run.
Investment Potential
Low; defensive veterans in retail parallels are generally considered 'filler' cards for team collectors rather than high-growth assets.

Display & Preservation
Penny sleeve and top-loader; keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the red and blue ink from fading over time.
