Comparison to Known Examples
Centering is slightly better than average for Silhouettes, but bottom corner wear is common for the set.
Authentication Tips
Check for Panini's hologram on back; verify card thickness (130pt); signature should show natural ink flow and pressure points.
Grading Recommendation
Raw display or SGC/PSA if for personal collection. Financial ROI on grading is low for this specific player.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; signature matches Crabbe's established Panini autographed items.
Provenance Notes
Commonly found in 2013-14 Crown Royale hobby boxes; part of a premiere rookie jersey-auto subset.
