Rarity
Common Insert; these are frequently found in retail blasters and hobby boxes for the 2024 set with high population counts.
Overall Assessment
A visually appealing modern insert of a legendary running back in his new colors. While the condition is imperfect, it remains a great budget-friendly addition for a Derrick Henry collector.
Condition Grade
7 to 8 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-Bottom, appearing slightly heavy toward the bottom edge; Left-Right appears relatively balanced.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; the card shows some visible surface dimples or light scratches near the right edge, likely due to factory handling or storage without a sleeve.
Corner Condition
The bottom-left corner shows slight whitening/softening; the top corners appear relatively sharp but display typical factory cut roughness.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping is visible along the bottom edge; the right vertical edge shows slight silvering and minor dings.
Print Quality
Standard Panini retail quality; color saturation is high with the Ravens purple pop, but the card stock is prone to edge chipping.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $8.00 USD (Raw); $25.00 - $45.00 (PSA 10)
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is slightly below average due to the visible edge wear and corner softening compared to pack-fresh GEM copies.
Authentication Tips
Verify the Panini logo on the reverse and check for the crispness of the 'Touchdown Club' typography. Counterfeits of modern low-end inserts are rare, but always check for proper card stock thickness.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for a personal PC (Player Collection). The cost of grading typically exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; the wear patterns are consistent with authentic Panini card stock and handling.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2024 Rookies & Stars retail blaster box or mega box.
Historical Context
Derrick Henry is a locks for the Hall of Fame, being one of the few players to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season. This card captures his transition to the Baltimore Ravens.
Market Trends
Stable to slightly appreciating as Henry continues his high-performance tenure with the Ravens; inserts of future Hall of Famers in new team jerseys often see a temporary spike in interest.
Investment Potential
Low; as an unnumbered base insert, the supply will remain high. It serves better as a collectible for Ravens fans than a financial investment.

Display & Preservation
Recommend a penny sleeve and a standard 35pt top loader to prevent further edge chipping and corner softening.
