Year & Era
2021 — Modern Era
Card Type
Insert — Youth Movement
Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Common; high-volume retail insert with a significant population in the secondary market.
Overall Assessment
A clean, affordable insert for Arizona Cardinals fans or player collectors, but lacks the rarity for serious investment.
Condition Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: 60/40 Top-Bottom, 55/45 Left-Right. The bottom border appears slightly thicker than the top.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; visible light scratches/scuffs on the glossy surface, common for Prestige retail inserts.
Corner Condition
Bottom left corner shows minor whitening and rounding; top corners appear relatively sharp but display slight edge wear.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping evident along the left and top edges, likely from factory cutting or handling without a sleeve.
Print Quality
Average; colors are vibrant, but the card stock is prone to edge chipping and surface scuffing.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (PSA 9/10)
Comparison to Known Examples
Lower centering accuracy than many PSA 10 examples; surface scuffs place it in the mid-range of available copies.
Authentication Tips
Check for Panini's UV-reactive logo on the back and ensure the card stock feel is consistent with other 2021 Prestige cards.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection, as the grading fee exceeds the market value.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; no signs of trimming or counterfeiting.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2021 Prestige Blaster Box or Hanger Pack; widely distributed in retail chains like Target and Walmart.
Historical Context
Features Kyler Murray in his third NFL season, following his 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign.
Market Trends
Stable to declining; current market preference has shifted toward 2023-2024 rookie classes and more premium sets like Prizm.
Investment Potential
Low; as a non-rookie, non-numbered insert in a lower-tier brand, significant appreciation is unlikely.

Display & Preservation
Should be kept in a penny sleeve and top-loader at minimum to prevent further surface scuffing.
