Panini FIFA 365 Adrenalyn XL #N/A (Limited Edition)
Year & Era
2023-2024 — Modern Adrenalyn XL Era
Card Type
Premium Limited Edition
Grade
Raw — Appears Good to Very Good (approx. 4-5)
Rarity
Common for Limited Editions; these are mass-produced as premiums in multipacks, tins, or magazine inserts.
Overall Assessment
A nice card for a Juventus or Szczęsny fan, but due to surface damage and its nature as a mass-produced TCG premium, it holds minimal financial value in the current hobby market.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Good to Very Good (approx. 4-5)
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom-right; vertical alignment is visually weighted by the bottom graphics.
Surface Condition
Significant vertical crease/scratch visible running through the bottom right quadrant; minor surface dimpling and light scratches on the foil.
Corner Condition
Corners show visible softening and whitening/chipping, particularly on the bottom right and top left.
Edge Condition
Edge wear and minor silvering visible along the right and bottom borders.
Print Quality
High-gloss foil with starburst/radiating light effect; colors are vibrant but the card is prone to bending and surface damage.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $8.00 USD (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
Lower quality than typical pack-pulled examples due to the visible vertical crease/line in the lower section.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini FIFA 365 authentic hologram/logo properties; check for the specific 'textured' feel of Adrenalyn XL cards.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card, and condition issues (crease) will result in a low score.
Red Flags
The vertical line near the bottom-right may be a heavy scratch or a factory print line incident, which significantly detracts from grade.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via Panini FIFA 365 2024 Premium Gold packs or special promotional sets.
Historical Context
Szczęsny is a legendary Polish keeper known for his long tenure at Arsenal and succeeding Gianluigi Buffon at Juventus.
Market Trends
Stable but low value; European 'Adrenalyn XL' cards have high volume but lower secondary market demand than American football 'Optic' or 'Prizm' brands.
Investment Potential
Low; this is a collectible TCG card rather than a high-end investment-grade sports card.
