Jalen Hurts
Quarterback · Philadelphia Eagles
Panini Mosaic ##SG-8
Year & Era
2021 — Current/Chrome Era
Card Type
Stained Glass Case Hit Insert
Grade
Raw — appears Near-Mint to Mint (NM-MT) 8
Rarity
SSP (Super Short Print) / Case Hit. Not serial numbered, but typically falls one per case on average across the production run.
Overall Assessment
This is a premium 'Case Hit' insert of an elite NFL quarterback. While the raw condition looks solid, the lack of protective casing in the photo suggests a risk of surface issues. It remains a top-tier pull for any Eagles collector.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near-Mint to Mint (NM-MT) 8
Centering Assessment
Front: Looks reasonably centered, approximately 50/50 left-to-right based on the stained glass border, though the angle makes it difficult to verify precise top-to-bottom ratios.
Surface Condition
Appears clean with high gloss; however, a significant light reflection (glare) obscures the center, potentially hiding micro-scratches common on Mosaic chrome finishes.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner (relative to image) shows slight white touch/wear; other corners appear sharp from this distance.
Edge Condition
Edges appear relatively clean with no significant chipping visible, though the card is sitting directly on a carpeted surface which can hide micro-wear.
Print Quality
High-quality chrome stock with vibrant color saturation and the 'Stained Glass' transparency effect. Registration appears sharp.
Estimated Value
$150 - $250 (Raw); PSA 10 copies can reach $500 - $700 depending on market volatility.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy appears to be a standard production version; centering is visually superior to many Stained Glass inserts which often suffer from vertical tilts.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Mosaic' pattern under magnification; fake chrome cards often lack the depth and crispness of Panini's etching. Check for the correct card stock thickness and the reflection of the light off the surface.
Grading Recommendation
PSA is recommended for this card due to the high popularity of Panini 'Case Hits' in the PSA market. Worthy of grading if corners are sharp and surface is scratch-free.
Red Flags
The card being handled outside of a sleeve/top-loader on a carpet is a red flag for surface condition; fiber friction can cause micro-scratches.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via 2021 Panini Mosaic Hobby, Retail, and Choice boxes as an unannounced short print.
Historical Context
Hurts' 2021 season was his first full year as a starter, making his 2021 inserts a key 'sophomore' year chase for collectors who believe in his long-term legacy.
Market Trends
Highly volatile based on Hurts' performance and the Eagles' record; Stained Glass is one of the most liquid and desirable non-rookie inserts in the hobby.
Investment Potential
Moderate to High. As a unique 'Case Hit' of a franchise QB, this card will likely appreciate if Hurts secures a Super Bowl victory or MVP award.
