Year & Era
2022 — Modern Era
Card Type
Green Wave Prizm Parallel
Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint (estimated PSA 9)
Rarity
Unnumbered retail parallel; relatively common pull from 2022 Panini Prizm retail boxes or blasters.
Overall Assessment
A clean, attractive retail parallel of a solid contributor to the Detroit Lions. Ideal for team collectors and set builders, though lacking the star power for high monetary value.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint (estimated PSA 9)
Centering Assessment
Front appears visually well-centered with minor top-bottom shift typical of Prizm stock; back not visible.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; standard Prizm refractive waves clean with no noticeable scratches or print lines under direct lighting.
Corner Condition
Sharp corners with no visible rounding, dings, or whitening apparent in the photo.
Edge Condition
Clean edges along all four sides with no notable chipping or silver flaking.
Print Quality
High-quality chromium stock with vibrant green wave refraction and sharp image resolution.
Estimated Value
$2 to $5 USD raw
Comparison to Known Examples
Matches standard retail Green Wave parallel distribution quality; centering falls within acceptable factory tolerances for the set.
Authentication Tips
Check for correct Panini Prizm chromium card stock thickness, crisp font rendering on the back, and authentic light-refracting wave patterns across the surface.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading given the low raw market value; grading fees would exceed the card's final value unless part of a bulk submission.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard pack-fresh condition.
Provenance Notes
Pulled directly from modern retail wax packs or blaster boxes.
Historical Context
Kalif Raymond has established himself as a reliable deep threat and primary punt returner for the Detroit Lions during their competitive resurgence under Dan Campbell.
Market Trends
Stable to flat market value; role players and tertiary wide receivers typically maintain niche collector demand primarily among team set builders.
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for long-term appreciation; best suited for personal collection, team set building, or Lions fan PC items.
