Panini Rookies & Stars ##36
Year & Era
2023 — Current/Chrome Era
Card Type
Pulsar/Checkered Parallel
Grade
8.5 (NM-MT+) estimated
Rarity
Unnumbered Retail Parallel; relatively common compared to numbered hobby parallels but scarcer than base.
Overall Assessment
A sharp-looking mid-tier parallel ideal for Eagles team collectors or Hurts fans, boasting great eye appeal despite not being a high-value rookie card.
Condition Grade
8.5 (NM-MT+) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front appears roughly 60/40 Top-to-Bottom; Left-to-Right looks fairly balanced.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; notable glare in photo suggests a clean foil surface, but mosaic-style patterns often hide micro-abrasions.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner shows slight soft whitening; upper corners appear sharp from image resolution.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping evident on the lower horizontal edge, common for foil-wrapped card stock.
Print Quality
High; vibrant saturation with a clean 'Starlight/Pulsar' holographic effect.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 Raw; $35.00 - $50.00 in Gem Mint 10 slab.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard retail parallel; centering is slightly below the 50/50 ideal for a PSA 10 candidate.
Authentication Tips
Verify the Panini logo and 'Rookies & Stars' font weight; check for the 'Prizm' technology texture which is difficult to replicate on fakes.
Grading Recommendation
SGC for quick turnaround and aesthetic match; PSA only if it appears to be a flawless 10.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; card stock and holographic pattern appear consistent with Panini retail production.
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from 2023 Panini Rookies & Stars Blaster or Mega boxes found in retail outlets.
Historical Context
Features Hurts during his peak veteran years following his Super Bowl LVII appearance.
Market Trends
Stable/Moderate; Hurts remains a high-tier dual-threat QB, though market prices are highly dependent on playoff success.
Investment Potential
Moderate; as a non-rookie base parallel, its value is tied strictly to the player's seasonal performance and MVP candidacy.
