Year & Era
2021-2022 Post-Junk Wax / Modern Chrome Era
Card Type
Stained Glass Insert
Grade
Raw - appears Excellent to Near Mint (EX-MT) 6-7 estimated
Rarity
SSP (Super Short Print). Case-hit level rarity, typically one per case or less across various Mosaic configurations.
Overall Assessment
A highly desirable Jalen Hurts SSP case hit that unfortunately shows signs of handling wear (corners) and poor storage (surface). It remains a centerpiece for an Eagles fan but may not meet high-end investor standards for grading.
Condition Grade
Raw - appears Excellent to Near Mint (EX-MT) 6-7 estimated
Centering Assessment
Appears slightly top-heavy; horizontally balanced based on the stained glass border symmetry.
Surface Condition
Visible smudge or moisture mark on the bottom left corner area; potential surface scratches common with die-cut style chrome cards.
Corner Condition
The bottom left corner shows visible white wear and rounding against the dark carpet background; others appear soft.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping evident on the left edge; typical for Mosaic's thicker card stock and dark borders.
Print Quality
High-quality metallic finish with intricate stained-glass pattern; colors appear vibrant despite low-light image.
Estimated Value
$150 - $250 USD raw; significantly higher ($500+) in PSA 10, though this copy unlikely to reach that grade.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy shows more corner wear than seen in 'Gem Mint' examples currently on the secondary market.
Authentication Tips
Check for the 'Mosaic' etched pattern in the clear coating and a clean, crisp 'M' logo; fake copies often lack the depth of the refraction.
Grading Recommendation
PSA is recommended for Mosaic. However, given visible corner wear and surface smudging, the ROI on grading this specific copy may be limited.
Red Flags
The card is laying unprotected on a carpeted surface, which is a major red flag for condition preservation and potential surface scratching.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2021 or 2022 Mosaic Hobby or Choice box; these are rarely found in retail formats.
Historical Context
The 'Stained Glass' insert is one of Panini's most popular non-numbered chase sets, famously originating in the Prizm brand before moving to Mosaic.
Market Trends
Hurts cards have seen high volatility; value is currently tied heavily to Eagles' playoff performance and his status as a top-tier dual-threat QB.
Investment Potential
Moderate to High; Stained Glass inserts hold value well over time, but long-term growth is capped by the current physical condition issues.

Display & Preservation
IMMEDIATELY place in a PVC-free penny sleeve and a top loader or magnetic 'one-touch' holder. Avoid contact with carpet fibers.
Interesting Facts
The design is meant to mimic the cathedral windows in Europe, making it one of the most aesthetically distinct 'case hits' in the hobby.
