Base Rookie Card
Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Common; high print run base rookie from a widely distributed retail/hobby set.
Overall Assessment
A standard modern rookie prospect card. Ideal for New Orleans Saints fans or college alumni collectors, but lacks the scarcity for high-end investment.
Condition Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: 55/45 Left-Right bias, appears slightly tilted. Bottom border seems slightly thicker than top.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; visible light scratches/scuffs on the bottom-left mirror finish and some surface debris near the player's head.
Corner Condition
Excellent/Near Mint; top-left corner shows slight whitening/softness; others appear relatively sharp but not pristine.
Edge Condition
Near Mint; bottom edge shows minor silvering/chipping common with thick chrome stock.
Print Quality
High; sharp image resolution and distinct Mosaic foil patterns, typical of Panini’s modern chrome-style production.
Estimated Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (PSA 10): $25.00 - $40.00 (Market is volatile for undrafted or late-round QBs).
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy; many Mosaic cards suffer from minor surface scratches and slightly off-center cuts, making this an average example.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Mosaic' pattern reaction to light; check for authentic Panini logo on back and crisp text printing that does not bleed.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless used for a personal collection ('PC'). The cost of grading currently exceeds the market value for base copies of this player.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; typical factory wear for a modern chrome card.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via 2024 Panini Mosaic packs (Blasters, Mega Boxes, and Hobby Boxes).
