Panini Prizm Football ##384
Year & Era
2022 — Modern Era
Card Type
Silver Prizm Parallel / Base
Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (approx. 5-6 due to visible damage)
Rarity
Common parallel; Silver Prizms are 'case hits' across retail and hobby, but for defensive players they are high population.
Overall Assessment
This is a damaged/miscut 2022 Panini Prizm Silver of Micah McFadden. Due to the severe corner and edge defect on the bottom right, it holds minimal financial value but remains a recognizable parallel from a flagship set.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (approx. 5-6 due to visible damage)
Centering Assessment
Front: Centering appears within acceptable ranges, roughly 55/45 left to right. Top/bottom is cut extremely odd with a significant extra strip of card stock visible at the bottom.
Surface Condition
Significant cloudiness, fingerprints, and potential surface scratching visible. The silver refractor finish is highly susceptible to micro-abrasions.
Corner Condition
The bottom right corner is severely damaged, appearing bent or improperly cut. Other corners show minor softening.
Edge Condition
The bottom edge is a major factory defect, showing an extra wide lip or 'miscut' flap that prevents it from being a standard size.
Print Quality
Poor due to a significant factory miscut at the bottom edge and visible surface hazing.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is significantly inferior to standard pack-fresh examples due to the catastrophic edge/corner defect at the bottom.
Authentication Tips
Verify the etched 'Prizm' text on the back and the chrome-stock thickness. Counterfeits of mid-tier defensive players are rare.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible damage to the bottom right and the miscut edge would result in a very low grade or an 'Authentic Altered' designation.
Red Flags
The bottom edge appears to have an extra flap of stock, suggesting a major packaging or cutting error at the Panini factory.
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from a 2022 Panini Prizm Retail Blaster or Hobby box. Distributed widely through mass-market retailers.
Historical Context
Micah McFadden was a 5th round pick out of Indiana who became a productive starter for the Giants, but his cards do not hold high historical weight compared to offensive stars.
Market Trends
