Authentication Tips
Check for correct card stock thickness, crisp font reproduction, and standard Panini holographic or foil stamping where applicable.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The heavy surface scratching will severely penalize the grade, making the cost of grading higher than the card's total value.
Red Flags
No signs of trimming or counterfeiting, but the visible surface scratches significantly detract from the eye appeal.
Provenance Notes
Pulled from modern Panini Phoenix retail or hobby packs.
