Year & Era
2016-2017 — Modern Era (Adrenalyn XL)
Card Type
Legend Subset (Foil Card)
Grade
6.0 (EX-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common Legend insert; widely distributed in Panini FIFA 365 retail and hobby packs.
Overall Assessment
A nice tribute card of a legendary player, but this specific copy suffers from common condition issues (edge chipping and surface scratches) that limit its appeal to serious investors.
Condition Grade
6.0 (EX-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering is approximately 55/45 Top-Bottom and 60/40 Left-Right.
Surface Condition
Visible scratches and micro-abrasions on the delicate foil surface; fingerprinting present.
Corner Condition
Lower left corner is soft; upper right corner shows minor dinging/white showing.
Edge Condition
The left edge shows significant chipping and 'silvering' where the black ink has flaked off the foil stock.
Print Quality
Average; uses a facsimile (printed) signature and a prismatic foil finish that is prone to scratching.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is in below-average condition due to the significant edge chipping common to this heavy-ink black border set.
Authentication Tips
Check for the holographic FIFA 365 shield in the upper right. Ensure the signature is printed under the gloss, as this is a facsimile autograph, not a hand-signed card.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value of a PSA 10 would barely cover the grading fees.
Red Flags
The signature is a facsimile (part of the card's printed design) and should not be confused with a genuine hand-signed autograph.
Provenance Notes
Distributed globally by Panini in booster packs for the Adrenalyn XL Trading Card Game.
Historical Context
Ferenc Puskás is the namesake of the FIFA Puskás Award (goal of the year). He led the Hungarian 'Magical Magyars' and won three European Cups with Real Madrid.
Market Trends
Puskas remains a top-tier legend in European football (soccer), keeping his specialized cards stable, but this specific game-card set has seen a decline in value compared to high-end 'sticker' or 'chrome' sets.
Investment Potential
Low. This is primarily a collector's piece for fans of Hungarian football or Real Madrid history; it lacks the scarcity of a numbered parallel or genuine autograph.

Display & Preservation
Store in a penny sleeve and a semi-rigid top loader to prevent further edge chipping and surface scratching.
Interesting Facts
Despite the 'FIFA 365' branding, this card depicts Puskas in the 1950s, bridging the gap between vintage legends and modern TCG mechanics.
