Card Type
Base Rookie Card
Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated

Common; high print volume for Chronicles base rookies
Overall Assessment
A standard rookie card of a future Hall of Fame talent, great for player collectors but with minimal financial growth upside
Condition Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Appears significantly off-center to the right (Left-heavy border)
Surface Condition
Difficult to assess due to heavy scratches on the top-loader, but silver foil is prone to scratching
Corner Condition
Top corners show slight softening; bottom corners appear relatively sharp
Edge Condition
Visible silver chipping/whitening on the left edge
Print Quality
Standard Panini production; foil elements are sharp but the centering is a common quality control issue
Estimated Value
$3 - $8 (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
Lower-than-average centering compared to high-grade specimens
Authentication Tips
Verify thick card stock and high-gloss silver foil finish; check for Panini logo on back
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; cost of grading exceeds market value of a base Chronicles card
Red Flags
No significant red flags for counterfeits, as this is a mass-produced modern base card
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from a 2021 Panini Chronicles Retail or Hobby box set
Historical Context
Parsons won 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, making any 2021 RC a key piece
Market Trends
Stable; Parsons is a superstar, but base Chronicles cards have high supply
