Overall Assessment
A clean, authentic modern jersey card of a popular NFL veteran; holds more sentimental and aesthetic value than financial value.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Near Mint to Mint (estimated 8-9)
Centering Assessment
Front: Appears slightly off-center top-to-bottom based on the design framing; horizontal centering looks standard.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; card is inside a factory-sealed or secondary poly-bag, which may protect the surface but obscures fine details like scratches.
Corner Condition
Upper corners appear sharp; lower corners are partially obscured by the bag but no major whitening is visible.
Edge Condition
Appears clean; being a thicker memorabilia card, it is prone to minor chipping along the foil edges.
Print Quality
High; features professional Panini printing with high-gloss finish and a recessed jersey swatch area.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $12.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard example; the swatch is a plain black secondary team color, which is typical for this set.
Authentication Tips
Check for the proper thickness (55pt to 75pt), the 'Panini' logo on the back, and the texture of the jersey swatch material.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended; the cost of grading ($15+) exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; appears to be an authentic modern Panini product.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2023 Panini Absolute hobby or retail box; often found in 'Mega Boxes'.
