Marquise Goodwin
Wide Receiver · San Francisco 49ers
Panini Contenders Football #43
Year & Era
2017 — Modern Chrome/Prizm Era
Card Type
Base Veteran Card (Season Ticket)
Grade
Raw — Appears Excellent to Near Mint (Estimated 6-7)
Rarity
Common; high print run as a standard base veteran card in a widely distributed set.
Overall Assessment
A standard veteran base card for a respectable NFL wide receiver. While not a high-value investment piece, it is a nice addition for a 49ers team set collector or a fan of multi-sport athletes.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Excellent to Near Mint (Estimated 6-7)
Centering Assessment
Front: Roughly 60/40 Top-Bottom and slightly biased toward the right edge. Back: Unseen.
Surface Condition
Visible surface scratches and scuffing, particularly on the glossy image area and the gold foil 'Season Ticket' element. Mild fingerprints present.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner shows visible white chipping/fraying; other corners appear slightly soft, likely from handling without a sleeve.
Edge Condition
Roughness visible along the right edge and bottom edge, consistent with standard Panini card stock from this era.
Print Quality
Average; colors are vibrant but the 'Contenders' set is prone to foil scratches and minor registration issues on the ticket graphic.
Estimated Value
$0.50 - $2.00 USD (Raw). High-end graded examples are rare for non-rookie base cards of this player.
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is below average due to corner wear and surface scuffing typically avoided by collectors using protective supplies.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini logo hologram on the reverse and verify the card stock thickness (standard 35pt). Counterfeiting of veteran base cards is extremely rare due to low market value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card by a significant margin.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; the card appears to be an authentic, well-handled base card.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2017 Panini Contenders retail or hobby pack. Distributed widely through big-box retailers and hobby shops.
Historical Context
Goodwin was a key deep threat for the 49ers during the 2017 season, his first with the team after leaving Buffalo. This was his most productive professional year.
Market Trends
Stable/Low. Goodwin is valued more for his Olympic-level speed than as a hobby icon. Demand is limited to 49ers team collectors or Goodwin enthusiasts.
Investment Potential
Low. As a veteran base card of a non-Hall of Fame wide receiver, it is unlikely to see significant appreciation.
