Overall Assessment
A sharp, serial-numbered parallel of a star running back in clean condition, ideal for LeSean McCoy or Buffalo Bills player collectors.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint
Centering Assessment
Front appears reasonably well-centered, slight heavy side to the right or top depending on exact borders, but generally acceptable within standard modern manufacturing tolerances.
Surface Condition
Near Mint condition with clean gloss, though enclosed in a top loader which prevents granular inspection for micro-scratches or fingerprint smudges.
Corner Condition
All four corners appear sharp and square based on visual inspection through the sleeve, with no obvious major dings or rounding.
Edge Condition
Edges appear clean and sharp with no significant chipping or whitening along the borders.
Print Quality
Clean modern printing with sharp typography, distinct foil stamping for the proof text, and good color saturation characteristic of Panini Prime Signatures.
Estimated Value
$5 to $15 USD for raw condition based on comparable modern numbered running back inserts/proofs.
Comparison to Known Examples
Consistent with typical clean pull examples from Panini Prime Signatures, featuring typical modern factory cutting tolerances.
Authentication Tips
Verify serial numbering stamp (036/149) matches foil characteristics of the set; check for authentic Panini card stock thickness and back text.
Grading Recommendation
Raw (Not Recommended for Grading) — grading costs would likely exceed or match the total value of the card given its low market ceiling.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard raw modern trading card in a protective top loader.
