Year & Era
2013 — Modern Era
Card Type
Base Veteran Card
Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint (PSA 8/9 potential)
Rarity
Common base card with a high print run, though older Prizm sets from 2013 have lower survival rates in pristine condition compared to current years.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic tribute card for a Hall of Famer, ideal for player collectors and Packers fans, though its financial value lies primarily in high-grade certified slabs.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint (PSA 8/9 potential)
Centering Assessment
Front appears slightly heavy on the right side and bottom, approximately 55/45 or 60/40 relative to the thick borders.
Surface Condition
Appears clean with standard Prizm reflectivity, though minor micro-scratches typical of un-sleeved chrome stock may be present under close inspection.
Corner Condition
All four corners appear sharp and relatively square, though slight softening can only be definitively ruled out under magnification.
Edge Condition
Edges appear clean with minimal chipping, typical of well-cut Panini chrome stock from this era.
Print Quality
Standard 2013 Prizm quality featuring high-gloss chromium technology, good color saturation, and sharp imagery of Woodson in his Packers uniform.
Estimated Value
Raw: $3 to $10; Graded (PSA 10): $25 to $50 depending on market demand for defensive HOFers.
Comparison to Known Examples
Centering is fairly typical for 2013 Panini Prizm, which often suffered from factory cutting inconsistencies.
Authentication Tips
Look for the authentic Prizm refractor rainbow sheen on the borders and back, standard card stock thickness, and crisp font typography.
Grading Recommendation
SGC or PSA, though grading fees may outweigh the card's raw value unless bundled into a bulk submission.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard raw card resting on a fabric surface.
