Grade
6-7 (EX-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common; standard insert found in retail and hobby formats with high print volume.
Overall Assessment
A great collector card for Vikings fans or Jefferson enthusiasts, but the condition issues (bottom edge) prevent it from being a high-grade investment piece.
Condition Grade
6-7 (EX-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears shifted toward the top-left; the left border is noticeably thinner than the right.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; minor surface scuffs or dust particles visible, which are common for dark-bordered Prestige matte finishes.
Corner Condition
Visible whitening and 'softness' on the bottom-left corner; top-right also shows slight edge fraying.
Edge Condition
The bottom edge shows significant chipping and white exposure against the dark background.
Print Quality
Good color saturation with sharp typography; the 'Time Stamped' design accurately reflects the play on 9/27/20.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 USD (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy has more visible edge chipping than a pack-fresh MINT 9 example, likely due to storage or handling.
Authentication Tips
Check for the Panini 'P' logo gloss on the back and ensure the card stock has the correct thickness; paper stock should feel sturdy but flexible.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card given the visible edge wear.
Red Flags
None observed; the wear patterns are consistent with authentic Panini paper stock.
Provenance Notes
Typically pulled from 2021 Panini Prestige Blasters or Mega Boxes distributed at mass retailers.
Historical Context
The card commemorates Jefferson's early breakout in his rookie year against the Titans, marking the start of his elite NFL status.
Market Trends
