Panini Score Football ##210
Year & Era
2022 — Current/Modern Era
Card Type
Gold Zone Parallel (Numbered 120/799)
Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (6-7 estimated)
Rarity
Uncommon — Numbered to /799. Not a major rarity, but more scarce than the base version.
Overall Assessment
A nice mid-tier parallel for an Eli Manning PC (Personal Collection), but lacks the condition and rarity for serious investment.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (6-7 estimated)
Centering Assessment
Front: 60/40 Top-Bottom, 55/45 Left-Right. The photo is angled, but margins appear uneven.
Surface Condition
Fair/Good — Significant glare in photo obscures detail, but potential scratches and finger oils are likely given the lack of a sleeve.
Corner Condition
Bottom-left corner appears soft with slight whitening; top-left corner shows minor blunting.
Edge Condition
Roughness visible on the bottom edge; foil chipping common in the Score set is possible here.
Print Quality
Average — The Score set is an entry-level product with standard foil stamping and paper stock.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $8.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Lower-tier due to handling; most high-value examples are immediate 'pack-to-sleeve' transfers.
Authentication Tips
Check for the 120/799 stamped indentation into the card stock and the specific 'Score' logo texture.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading ($15-25) exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags regarding authenticity, but concern regarding surface scratches due to resting on a hard surface.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a standard retail blaster or hobby box of 2022 Score Football.
Historical Context
Features a 2-time Super Bowl MVP in a retired/legend capacity within a modern set.
Market Trends
Stable/Low. Retired legends like Eli have a floor for team collectors, but non-rookie base parallels have low volatility.
Investment Potential
Low. This is a collector's piece for Giants fans rather than a financial growth asset.

Display & Preservation
Place immediately in a penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further foil scratching.
Interesting Facts
The 2022 Score set is one of the largest checklist sets in the hobby, making specific parallels for legends harder to hit than modern stars.
