Year & Era
2022-23 — Modern Era (Soccer/Football)
Card Type
Mega Value (Insert)
Grade
Raw — Appears Fair to Good (Estimated 2-4 range)
Rarity
Common. This is a basic insert from a widely distributed retail Trading Card Game (TCG) set with a high print run.
Overall Assessment
A common gaming insert of a prominent German defender. Due to its poor physical condition and the high print volume of the Match Attax brand, it holds sentimental or gaming value only.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Fair to Good (Estimated 2-4 range)
Centering Assessment
Front: Poorly centered, heavily weighted toward the right border. Back: Not visible, but front miscut suggests likely registration issues.
Surface Condition
Poor. Visible scratches, heavy horizontal scuffing across the center, and noticeable surface wear affecting the 'Mega Value' text foil.
Corner Condition
Fair. All four corners show significant whitening and blunting. The bottom-right corner shows a clear ding/crush mark.
Edge Condition
Poor. Heavy chipping and whitening along the top and left edges. The right edge shows silvering and impact dings.
Print Quality
Standard for Match Attax; utilize foil stamping for the 'Mega Value' text, though the image resolution is lower than premium hobby products.
Estimated Value
$0.05 - $0.50 USD. This is a mass-produced gaming card in poor condition.
Comparison to Known Examples
Significantly below average condition. Most collectors keep these in binders; the visible surface damage and edge chipping make this a low-tier example.
Authentication Tips
Look for the UEFA hologram on the reverse and verify card stock thickness. Counterfeiting is rare for low-value base inserts like this.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended. The cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds the market value of the card ($0.50).
Red Flags
No signs of trimming, but the heavy surface scuffing suggests it was likely played with or stored without a sleeve.
Provenance Notes
Originally distributed in retail blind packs (booster packs) for the Match Attax game.
Historical Context
Süle transitioned from Bayern Munich to rivals Borussia Dortmund in 2022, making this one of his earlier cards in the BVB kit.
Market Trends
Match Attax values for non-autographed veteran defenders are stable at a very low baseline; value is driven by playability in the TCG rather than investment.
Investment Potential
None. This is a gaming card intended for younger collectors and active play; it is unlikely to appreciate in value.

Interesting Facts
