Centering Assessment

Sharp corners with minimal to no whitening visible at the tips, typical of a freshly sleeved card.
Edge Condition
Clean edges with standard factory cut, no noticeable chipping along the purple borders.
Print Quality
High gloss with standard Panini Adrenalyn foil stamping and purple prismatic background refraction.

$1.00 - $5.00 raw, as this is a mass-produced insert/rookie card from a soccer gaming card set rather than American football.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard condition copy comparable to most pulled straight from retail starter packs or tins.
Authentication Tips
Look for correct foil reflection, official Panini back typography, and standard cardstock thickness.
