Panini Adrenalyn XL FIFA 365 #Not visible on front (standard for this set)
Year & Era
2021-2022 — Modern Era
Card Type
Limited Edition (Insert)
Grade
4-5 (Good to Very Good) estimated
Rarity
Common for a 'Limited Edition' subset; these were widely distributed via multi-packs, tins, and magazine premiums.
Overall Assessment
A nice collectable for a Liverpool fan or a young collector, but lack of rarity and significant physical damage make it a low-value item for serious investors.
Condition Grade
4-5 (Good to Very Good) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted toward the top edge, though Adrenalyn XL cards often have non-traditional borders.
Surface Condition
Fair/Poor; visible significant scratch or crease running horizontally across the player's chest and 'LIMITED EDITION' text; visible fingerprint smudges and dulling of the foil.
Corner Condition
Softened/Rounded; the top left and bottom right corners show visible white wear and impact damage.
Edge Condition
Heavy wear; noticeable chipping and silvering along the top edge; bottom edge shows minor fraying.
Print Quality
Standard retail grade; utilizes Panini’s signature cracked-ice/glitter foil effect typical of the Adrenalyn XL gaming line.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $5.00 USD (Significant condition issues reduce value to 'filler' or 'bulk' status).
Comparison to Known Examples
Significantly worse than average; most of these cards are preserved in albums. This copy shows signs of heavy handling or 'play' use.
Authentication Tips
Check for the 'Panini' logo watermark pattern within the foil; verify the card stock thickness (Adrenalyn cards are thinner than Prizm/Chrome).
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended; the cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds the market value of the card, and the condition would result in a very low grade.
Red Flags
Heavy surface damage and corner wear. These are common indicators that the card was not kept in a protective sleeve.
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from a retail 'Starter Pack' or premium tin set common in European and Global markets.
Historical Context
Salah is one of the greatest African players of all time and a Liverpool legend; this card captures him during his peak Premier League years.
Market Trends
Stable for Salah; while he remains a global superstar, the market favors 'True' trading cards (Prizm, Select) over 'Trading Card Games' (Adrenalyn XL).
Investment Potential
Low; condition damage and high print volume of the Adrenalyn brand limit long-term financial growth.
