Year & Era
2024 - Modern Era
Card Type
Base Veteran Card
Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (PSA 7-8 candidate due to top edge wear)
Rarity
Common base card with a high print run, frequently found in retail and hobby packs.
Overall Assessment
A visually appealing modern base card of an elite running back in his new team uniform, held back slightly by top-edge wear and vertical centering, ideal for casual fans and Eagles team collectors.
Condition Grade
Raw - appears Near Mint (PSA 7-8 candidate due to top edge wear)
Centering Assessment
Front: 50/50 Left-Right, 40/60 Top-Bottom (heavy top border)
Surface Condition
Clean overall gloss with light standard factory refractor lines typical of modern Panini card stock.
Corner Condition
All four corners appear relatively sharp with minor softening visible on the top-left corner under closer inspection.
Edge Condition
Noticeable chipping and minor whitening along the top edge border, which is common for dark-bordered modern Panini sets.
Print Quality
Standard modern card stock with good color saturation, sharp imagery, and characteristic Zenith geometric background patterns.
Estimated Value
Estimated raw value is approximately $2 to $5 USD. Graded copies in PSA 9 or 10 would carry modest premiums but grading cost exceeds value for this specific base card.
Comparison to Known Examples
Slightly below average centering vertically with standard top edge chipping frequently seen on dark-bordered Panini Zenith base cards.
Authentication Tips
Look for crisp text rendering, proper card thickness, authentic Panini holographic back elements if applicable, and standard modern card stock weight.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (PSA/BGS/SGC) due to the visible top-edge chipping and off-center top-bottom alignment making a high-grade 10 unlikely.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard pack-pulled modern card appearance with typical factory imperfections.
Provenance Notes
Sourced from standard 2024 Panini retail or hobby football packs distributed nationwide.
