2022 Panini Select Draft Picks #Not visible (Concourse or Premier level insert/parallel)
Year & Era
2022 — Modern Era
Card Type
Prizm Parallel (Red/Blue or similar retail/hobby parallel)
Grade
Raw — appears Excellent to Near Mint (EX-NM)
Rarity
Uncommon parallel from a tiered set, though mass-produced in the modern era.
Overall Assessment
A fun, visually striking modern parallel of a star NFL wide receiver in his college uniform, but severely hampered in value by raw handling, slight edge wear, and card stock warping.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent to Near Mint (EX-NM)
Centering Assessment
Front appears slightly heavy to the right edge with a thin left border; back centering cannot be verified without seeing the reverse.
Surface Condition
Moderate surface wear with visible curling/warping of the card stock from improper raw storage, plus some light hairline scratching on the chromium finish.
Corner Condition
Bottom-left and top-left corners show slight softening and minor rounding, common for raw cards handled without protection.
Edge Condition
Edges show minor chipping along the left border and slight silvering, typical of Panini Select foil stock when handled raw.
Print Quality
High gloss and strong color saturation typical of Panini Select chrome technology, though affected by light warping.
Estimated Value
$5 to $15 USD raw, highly dependent on the exact parallel tier and condition.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy suffers from slight warping and edge wear that places it below the average condition of pristine pulled copies.
Authentication Tips
Check for the official Panini prizm reflectivity, correct font spelling, and proper card stock thickness under magnification.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to surface warping, centering imbalance, and minor edge wear which would likely result in a low numerical grade (PSA 5-7).
Red Flags
No signs of trimming or counterfeiting, but the card exhibits physical curvature/warping from improper storage.
Provenance Notes
Pulled directly from a 2022 Panini Select retail or hobby pack, then handled without immediate penny-sleeving.
Historical Context
Garrett Wilson was selected 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by the New York Jets and won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Market Trends
Stable to slightly declining for rookie collegiate cards, as collectors heavily prioritize NFL-licensed uniform cards.
Investment Potential
Low investment return for a collegiate uniform card in raw, imperfect condition; better suited for personal PC (Player Collection).
