Card Type
Silver Prizm / Mosaic Parallel Rookie Card (NIL)
Grade
8.5 to 9.0 (Near Mint-Mint) estimated
Rarity
Common Parallel; Silver/Mosaic parallels are found in high volume across retail and hobby formats.
Overall Assessment
A clean, attractive modern collegiate rookie card of a rising wide receiver prospect. Best suited for Iowa State fans or player-speculators.
Condition Grade
8.5 to 9.0 (Near Mint-Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-to-Bottom, 50/50 Left-to-Right. The bottom border appears slightly thicker.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; contains standard Mosaic 'shimmer' patterns. No visible deep scratches or dimples through the sleeve.
Corner Condition
Sharp; top-right corner shows slight white specking, common with the foil-on-cardstock production.
Edge Condition
Near Mint; typical clean factory cuts for Panini Mosaic high-gloss stock.
Print Quality
High; vibrant colors with crisp imagery. Panini’s Mosaic branding is known for high-definition photography.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $10.00 USD (Raw). NIL collegiate cards typically hold lower value than NFL-uniformed rookie cards.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy. Centering is within the normal tolerances for retail Mosaic products.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini 'P' logo and the Mosaic pattern depth. Counterfeits often lack the 3D 'depth' of the Chrome-style finish.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended. The cost of professional grading (PSA/SGC) would exceed the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; card appears authentic and unaltered.
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from a 2024 Mosaic Draft Picks Hobby or Blaster box.
Historical Context
Represents the NIL era of college football where active players feature on licensed trading cards before reaching the NFL.
Market Trends
Stable/Niche. Collegiate NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) cards fluctuate based on the player's draft stock and college performance.
Investment Potential
Low. Value is tied strictly to Higgins' future NFL draft position and professional career success.
