Year & Era
2024-25 — Modern Chrome/Adrenalyn Era
Card Type
Signature (Printed Facsimile Signature Insert)
Grade
7.5 - 8.0 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Uncommon insert; not a high-end scarcity but a desirable pull for set-builders and player collectors.
Overall Assessment
A clean, vibrant example of a modern Premier League gaming insert. While not a high-value investment piece, it is a great collectible for Ipswich Town fans or Sweden national team enthusiasts.
Condition Grade
7.5 - 8.0 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Top-heavy; slightly shifted toward the top edge, though side-to-side centering appears adequate for a gaming card.
Surface Condition
Light surface scuffing visible on the dark areas near the left edge; typical gloss finish with secondary minor scratches likely from handling.
Corner Condition
Bottom-left corner shows visible whitening/dinging; other corners appear relatively sharp but display slight wear consistent with being un-sleeved.
Edge Condition
Noticeable silvering and chipping on the left edge; top edge shows minor roughness.
Print Quality
High-color saturation with a vibrant pink and black palette; signature is a high-resolution printed facsimile, not hand-signed.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $5.00 USD (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
Slightly below average due to corner whitening on the bottom left and edge chipping, which are common for Adrenalyn cards stored in tins.
Authentication Tips
Check for the 'Adrenalyn XL' logo texture and the Panini/Premier League holographic security symbols often found on the reverse side.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (PSA/BGS); the cost of grading significantly exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; the signature is clearly a printed design element rather than an ink-on-card autograph.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a standard retail booster pack or a starter pack for the 2024/25 Premier League Adrenalyn XL Trading Card Game.
Historical Context
The 24/25 season marks Ipswich Town's return to the top flight after 22 years; Cajuste joined this season to provide midfield stability.
Market Trends
Ipswich Town's return to the Premier League has created localized demand for cards featuring their current roster.
Investment Potential
Low; Adrenalyn XL is primarily a gaming set rather than an appraisal-heavy investment product.

Display & Preservation
Place in a standard penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further edge chipping and protect the signature layer.
