Panini Prizm Football #Not fully visible (Likely #250 in set)
Year & Era
2023 - Modern Chrome Era
Card Type
Pink Pulsar Prizm Parallel
Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Retail-exclusive parallel; not individually numbered but mass-distributed via Mega Boxes.
Overall Assessment
A nice 'color match' card for a Buccaneers fan or Brad Johnson collector, but holds very little hobby value as a financial asset.
Condition Grade
7-8 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears heavy toward the bottom and slightly slanted to the right.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; minor surface scratches common on opti-chrome cards, though no major gouges visible.
Corner Condition
Upper right corner shows slight whitening or soft edge damage; bottom left appears okay.
Edge Condition
Visible chipping and silvering along the top and right edges from factory cutting.
Print Quality
High saturation with standard Prizm diffraction; slight alignment issues with the 'Prizm' logo stamp.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard retail pull quality; centering is below average for this specific print run.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini logo/halogram on the card back and the etched chrome texture that is difficult to replicate on inkjet fakes.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; card appears authentic but shows typical Panini quality control issues.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2023 Panini Prizm Football Mega Box (Retail).
Historical Context
Brad Johnson led the 2002 Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl title (SB XXXVII). This card is part of a 'Legends' subset within the modern Prizm set.
Market Trends
Stable; non-rookie retired player parallels have a very niche market mostly for team completionists.
Investment Potential
Low; mass-produced modern legends parallels rarely see significant appreciation compared to rookie cards.
Similar Cards

Display & Preservation
Recommend a penny sleeve and top loader; store out of direct sunlight to prevent pink pigment fading.
