Grade

Rarity
Uncommon insert from a mass-produced retail/hobby product, though specific case-hit status or short-print tier for Voltaic inserts elevates it slightly above base cards.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking modern rookie insert featuring strong eye appeal, good centering, and solid collector interest for Patriots fans and player collectors.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint
Centering Assessment
Front: 52/48 Left-Right, 51/49 Top-Bottom. Excellent visual balance.
Surface Condition
Near Mint. Clean surface with standard foil gloss, though lighting reflection hides minor micro-scratches common on modern glossy inserts.
Corner Condition
Sharp corners with no visible rounding or dings upon preliminary visual inspection.
Edge Condition
Clean edges with no visible chipping along the perimeter.
Print Quality
High print quality typical of modern Panini Score inserts, featuring sharp neon typography, clear photography, and bright electrical visual effects.
Estimated Value
Estimated raw market value is between $5 to $15 USD depending on current rookie demand and platform.
Comparison to Known Examples
Centering is well within acceptable tolerance for modern Panini Score products, which frequently suffer from left-right shifting.
Authentication Tips
Verify official Panini card stock weight, crisp licensing logos, and consistent foil stamping on the neon sign graphic under magnification.

Raw recommended unless pristine, as the grading cost often exceeds the raw market value for non-autographed rookie inserts of mid-tier draft picks.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed in the image; standard raw card appearance.
