Comparison to Known Examples
This copy shows noticeably heavier corner and edge wear and poorer centering compared to typical pack-fresh submissions
Authentication Tips
Check for official Panini branding, correct font styles, and standard card stock thickness consistent with 2024 Score releases
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to significant wear on corners and poor centering; grading costs would exceed the card's total value
Red Flags
No significant signs of tampering or counterfeiting, but heavy raw wear indicates it has been handled loosely without protection
Provenance Notes
Sourced from 2024 Panini Score retail or hobby packs released around the Halloween holiday season
Historical Context

Market Trends

Investment Potential
