Grade
Raw — Appears Excellent (approx. 5-6 range)

Raw — Appears Excellent (approx. 5-6 range)
Centering Assessment
Front: 60/40 Top-Bottom, 50/50 Left-Right; generally acceptable for this release.

Heavily scratched and scuffed; noticeable surface wear across the main characters and bottom logo area.
Corner Condition
Softening/rounding visible on the top right; bottom corners show slight white chipping.
Edge Condition
Moderate wear and silvering along the top edge; bottom edge shows minor industrial cut roughness.
Print Quality
High-impact holographic foil with textured 'diamond' pattern; significant scratches reduce display quality.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD (Raw/Fair condition)
Comparison to Known Examples
Condition is below average compared to 'pack fresh' copies due to lack of protective sleeving.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini 'Rare' stamp in top right and authentic texture that changes under light.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading due to heavy surface scratching and low market ceiling.
Red Flags
Significant surface scratching and possible moisture damage on the bottom left corner.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via blister packs, starter packs, and retail booster boxes in the UK and Europe.
Historical Context
Represents the top performers of the 2021/22 EPL season; a staple card for UK school-yard trading.
Market Trends
Stable to declining; Adrenalyn XL is a 'game' set rather than a 'hobby' set, impacting long-term growth.
Investment Potential
Low; mass-produced game cards rarely appreciate significantly unless in Gem Mint condition.
