Card Type
Base Acetate / Clear Card
Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint
Rarity
Common base card from the Clearly Donruss set, though acetate inserts and bases carry moderate collectibility.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking clear acetate card of a high-profile starting quarterback, great for Cowboys fans and player collectors, though careful handling is required to maintain condition.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint
Centering Assessment
Front and back appear well-centered within the acetate border limits, approximately 50/50 L-R and T-B.
Surface Condition
Clean acetate surface with typical minor hairline scratches from factory handling common on acetate cards; no deep gouges or major flaws.
Corner Condition
Sharp corners typical of die-cut or clear acetate stock; no visible rounding or dings.
Edge Condition
Clean cut edges along the clear acetate material with no noticeable chipping or flaking.
Print Quality
High print clarity with crisp typography and vibrant team colors visible through the transparent acetate substrate.
Estimated Value
$15 - $30 raw; up to $50-$75 if graded a PSA 10 due to condition sensitivity of clear cards.
Comparison to Known Examples
Comparable to standard raw copies of Donruss Clearly acetate base cards floating in the current market.
Authentication Tips
Check for correct acetate thickness, clear transparency without internal cloudiness, and official Panini branding/fonts.
Grading Recommendation
SGC or PSA due to the high population of acetate grading; grading is only worthwhile if surface is pristine.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard clear card surface scuffs should not be mistaken for deep scratches.
Provenance Notes
Pulled from Panini Clearly Donruss hobby or retail boxes, known for showing surface wear easily straight from the pack.
