Year & Era
2023 — Modern Era
Card Type
Die-Cut Insert Parallel
Grade
Raw — Appears Moderate to Heavy Wear (Estimated PSA 5-6 due to visible scratching on holder/surface)
Rarity
Uncommon insert, but high print runs mean pop reports are substantial and market availability is high.
Overall Assessment
A fun insert card for a NASCAR and Chase Elliott fan, though hindered significantly by surface wear on the current holder and card face. Ideal for a personal PC rather than investment.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Moderate to Heavy Wear (Estimated PSA 5-6 due to visible scratching on holder/surface)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 55/45 Left-Right, 50/50 Top-Bottom
Surface Condition
Heavy scratching visible across the glossy front surface and top loader, typical of raw handling without proper protection.
Corner Condition
Appears generally intact under the plastic sleeve, though difficult to assess exact sharpness due to heavy surface wear.
Edge Condition
Standard die-cut edges appear clean with no major chipping observed.
Print Quality
High-resolution printing with vibrant blue tones and clear die-cut borders, typical of Panini's modern chromium-style inserts.
Estimated Value
Estimated raw market value is approximately $2 to $5 USD, as modern inserts of popular drivers are widely available.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy shows more surface wear than pristine pulled-from-pack examples, placing it below average for condition.
Authentication Tips
Check for official Panini branding, licensed logos (NASCAR, Hendrick Motorsports, NAPA), and standard card stock thickness.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the heavy surface scratching which would yield a low grade, outweighing the cost of grading.
Red Flags
No signs of counterfeiting; wear is consistent with casual storage and handling in a top loader.
Provenance Notes
Pulled from standard 2023 Panini retail or hobby wax packs.
Historical Context
Chase Elliott is the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series Champion and son of legendary driver Bill Elliott, representing a major legacy name in American motorsports.
Market Trends
Stable to declining for modern inserts, heavily dependent on the driver's weekly race performance and championship contention.
Investment Potential
Low investment potential as a modern base insert, best held as a personal collection piece for NASCAR fans rather than a financial asset.
Similar Cards
Other 2023 Panini inserts featuring Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, or Ryan Blaney.
Display & Preservation
Needs to be transferred to a fresh penny sleeve and a new clean top loader or magnetic holder to prevent further surface scratching.
Interesting Facts
Despite this being requested as a football card, Chase Elliott is a premier NASCAR superstar with massive crossover appeal in the memorabilia market.
