A mass-produced but attractive insert card of a legendary player, ideal for young collectors or Liverpool fans.
Condition Grade

Centering Assessment
Front appears visually balanced, though the top-heavy purple header is characteristic of the Adrenalyn XL design.
Surface Condition
Shiny foil finish; possible surface scratches or clouding visible under the intense overhead light glare.
Corner Condition
Corners show some visible softening/white wear, particularly noticeable on the bottom right.
Edge Condition
Edges appear relatively straight but show typical factory-cut minor fraying common for TCG-style cards.

High-saturation foil with 'cracked ice' or 'crystal' effect typical of Panini TCG inserts.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD (Raw/Ungraded)
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy; many millions of these are produced for the global TCG market.
Authentication Tips
Check for the official Premier League hologram on the back and the specific texture of the Panini card stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading as the cost ($15+) significantly exceeds the market value ($2).
Red Flags
Highly unlikely to be counterfeited due to low market value, but surface scratches are common.
Provenance Notes
Released in retail booster packs and starter sets for the 2023-24 Premier League season.
Historical Context
Salah is one of the greatest Premier League players of all time; this card celebrates his prolific scoring record for Liverpool.
Market Trends
Stable; Salah is a top-tier player, but TCG cards (meant for game play) rarely appreciate like 'hobby' sports cards (Prizm/Select).
Investment Potential
Low; better suited for personal collection or gameplay rather than financial investment.
