2017/18 - Modern Adrenalyn XL Era

Limited Edition Gold Parallel
Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (7-8)
Rarity
Lower rarity; while labeled limited edition, these were widely distributed via starter packs and magazine inserts.
Overall Assessment
A nice collectable for a Barcelona or Suárez fan, but lacks the scarcity required for high-end investment.
Condition Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (7-8)
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly bottom-heavy (landscape orientation) with traditional thin borders.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; minor surface scuffs visible on the foil background, likely from binder storage friction.
Corner Condition
Lower right (foreground) shows a slight soft edge; others appear relatively sharp but standard for thin cardstock.
Edge Condition
Minor white chipping visible along the bottom edge against the gold foil.
Print Quality
High-gloss foil finish with standard digital CMYK layering; typical mass-production quality.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy; average condition for a card kept in a plastic binder sleeve.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini authentic logo on the reverse and specific foil refraction patterns that are difficult to scan/print.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; cost of grading exceeds market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; standard tradeable card game (TCG) item.
Provenance Notes
Part of the FIFA 365 global annual release, typically sold in Europe and South America.
Historical Context
Features Suárez during the peak of the 'MSN' era at Barcelona, one of the most prolific attacking trios in history.
Market Trends
Stable to slightly declining; demand for Adrenalyn XL cards is highest during the active season of release.
Investment Potential

Similar Cards

Display & Preservation
Keep in a PVC-free penny sleeve and top loader; foil surfaces are prone to 'clouding' in high humidity.
