Panini Mosaic — Stained Glass Insert #SG-JH
Year & Era
2021-2022 — Modern Era
Card Type
Case-Hit Insert
Grade
Raw — Appears 7.5 to 8.5 (NM/NM-MT) based on image quality
Rarity
SSP (Super Short Print) / Case-Hit. Highly rare, typically found once per every few cases of hobby/retail boxes.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful and highly desirable 'Stained Glass' insert of an elite QB. The card value is currently throttled by its unprotected storage state, which poses a risk to its final grade.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears 7.5 to 8.5 (NM/NM-MT) based on image quality
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom-right based on the stained glass border symmetry, but generally acceptable for the Mosaic brand.
Surface Condition
Surface shows high-gloss finish typical of Mosaic; however, the card is lying unprotected on a carpet which can cause micro-scratches and static dust attraction.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner (relative to card orientation) appears slightly soft or vulnerable due to lack of protection; others appear relatively sharp but need magnification.
Edge Condition
Upper edge shows some potential white chipping/wear visible against the dark background, common in the Mosaic chrome-style stock.
Print Quality
High color saturation with intricate 'Stained Glass' foil patterns. Mosaic is known for a 'dimpled' texture on the player image which is present here.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a raw copy ranges from $150 to $250; PSA 10 copies can exceed $600-$800 depending on market volatility.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy appears to have standard centering for the 2021/22 production run, which often suffered from slight vertical shifts.
Authentication Tips
Verify the refractive 'Etch' of the stained glass pattern; fakes often have a flat digital print without the proprietary Panini chrome depth.
Grading Recommendation
PSA is recommended for this specific insert type to maximize ROI. Worthiness is high if surface scratches are minimal after a microfiber wipe.
Red Flags
The main red flag is the storage method; Placing a high-value SSP card directly on carpet fibers can lead to surface scoring and corner damage.
Provenance Notes
Distributed as a 'Case Hit' within Mosaic Hobby, Choice, and Retail Mega boxes. No specific pedigree provided by image.
Historical Context
Jalen Hurts established himself as a franchise QB during the era this card was produced, making his non-rookie case hits highly collectible.
Market Trends
Highly correlated to Jalen Hurts' performance; value spiked during the Super Bowl LVII run and remains a top-tier 'must-have' for Eagles team collectors.
Investment Potential
Moderate to High; as an SSP 'Case Hit', it has better long-term shelf life than base cards or common parallels.

Display & Preservation
