Jadyn Davis
Quarterback · Michigan Wolverines
Leaf Metal - With Honors ##WHJD1
Year & Era
2024 — Modern/NIL Era
Card Type
Autograph Pink Mojo Parallel
Grade
PSA 9 (Mint)
Rarity
Short-print; while not serial numbered, the Pink Mojo parallel has a significantly lower print run than the base silver metal version.
Overall Assessment
A very clean, visually striking PSA 9 autograph of a top-tier quarterback prospect. Ideal for a Michigan fan or a 'prospector' investor looking to get in early on a potential star.
Condition Grade
PSA 9 (Mint)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-to-Bottom, 50/50 Left-to-Right. The horizontal layout affects visual symmetry.
Surface Condition
Mint; the Mojo refractor pattern hides minor surface imperfections well, though no visible scratches are present.
Corner Condition
Appears sharp on all four edges; PSA 9 indicates no significant fraying or impacts.
Edge Condition
Smooth along all four sides; Leaf Metal often suffers from chipping but this copy looks clean.
Print Quality
High; vibrant pink color saturation with crisp etched lines in the mojo prism pattern and clear sticker autograph.
Estimated Value
$40 - $75 USD (based on recent sales of similar 2024 NIL Leaf autographs for high-profile QBs).
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard for the issue; centering is within PSA 9 tolerances. Many Leaf stickers are slightly crooked, but this one is well-aligned.
Authentication Tips
Verify the PSA certification number (98117554) on the PSA website; check for the micro-text on the PSA flip and ensure the signature bubble doesn't show signs of print dots.
Grading Recommendation
Already graded PSA 9. Further grading is not recommended as it is already slabbed. A PSA 9 for a modern sticker auto is a solid grade.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; the slab and label appear authentic to the 2024 PSA design.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via 2024 Leaf Metal Football hobby boxes; likely a recent pull and submission given the certificate sequence.
Historical Context
Represents the early career of a highly touted 5-star recruit for Michigan; part of the transition of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) cards into mainstream collecting.
Market Trends
Highly volatile; as an NIL card, value is tied directly to Davis's performance and starts at Michigan. Currently speculative.
Investment Potential
High risk/High reward; value depends entirely on him becoming a starting QB for a major program and eventually an NFL prospect.

Display & Preservation
Keep in the PSA slab; store in a slab sleeve (superior fit) to avoid scratching the plastic case; keep away from direct UV light.
