Authentication Tips
Check for Panini's micro-text on the back and ensure card stock is the standard 20pt paper thickness common to Score.

Not recommended for grading. The cost of authentication and encapsulation far exceeds the card's market value.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard authentic modern retail product.
Provenance Notes

Historical Context
The 2021 Score set serves as the season-opening product for collectors, capturing the roster prior to the 2021 NFL season kickoff.
Market Trends
Stable; base inserts for non-star power group shots of this era generally hold floor pricing.
Investment Potential
Low; common base inserts rarely appreciate in value regardless of player performance.
