Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy; centering is slightly worse than average for this set's manufacturing standards.

Look for the Panini 'Prizm' logo etching, correct card stock thickness, and the glossy UV coating.
Grading Recommendation

Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2024 Panini Prizm Draft Picks retail blaster or hobby box.
