Jalen Hurts
Quarterback · Philadelphia Eagles
Panini Mosaic Football #Not visible (Set standard is SG-9 or similar for subset)
Year & Era
2023 - Modern Era (Chrome/Optichrome Era)
Card Type
Stained Glass Case Hit Insert
Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (estimated 7-8 based on storage)
Rarity
High Rarity - Stained Glass is a super short-print (SSP) 'Case Hit' found once per approximately 12-24 hobby boxes.
Overall Assessment
A premier 'Case Hit' of a superstar QB. While visually stunning and highly valuable, the current storage condition poses a risk to its grade and long-term liquidity.
Condition Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (estimated 7-8 based on storage)
Centering Assessment
Front: Roughly 50/50 but difficult to verify through the binder page; likely well-centered as is common for this insert.
Surface Condition
Near Mint - Possible scratches from binder storage without a penny sleeve; surface needs inspection for dimples/print lines.
Corner Condition
Excellent/Near Mint - One corner appears slightly soft while others look standard for optichrome stock.
Edge Condition
Excellent - Edges appear clean with standard optichrome silver bordering.
Print Quality
High - Vibrant color saturation and crisp translucent glass design typical of Mosaic SSP inserts.
Estimated Value
$250 - $450 (Raw), $600 - $800 (PSA 10)
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy appears to be a standard example; however, the lack of a penny sleeve puts it at a disadvantage compared to direct-to-slab examples.
Authentication Tips
Check for the proper thickness of the optichrome stock and the rainbow-like light refraction on the glass panels. Counterfeits often lack the 'etching' depth.
Grading Recommendation
PSA is recommended. This is a high-value case hit where a grade of 10 significantly multiplies the resale value.
Red Flags
The primary red flag is the storage method; card appears to be in a binder page without a protective penny sleeve, which causes surface micro-abrasions.
Provenance Notes
Originally released in 2023 Panini Mosaic Hobby and Retail configurations as a rare chase insert.
Historical Context
Hurts has cemented himself as a premier dual-threat QB; this card represents his stardom following his Super Bowl LVII appearance.
Market Trends
Jalen Hurts markets are highly volatile based on Eagles performance; Stained Glass remains one of the most liquid and desired non-autograph inserts in the hobby.
Investment Potential
Moderate to High - Long-term value depends on Hurts' ability to secure a championship, but 'Stained Glass' is a 'Blue Chip' insert for collectors.
