Year & Era
2021 — Current/Modern Era
Card Type
Xtra Points Star Parallel (Foil)
Grade
Raw — Near Mint (7.5-8.0 estimated)
Rarity
Common Parallel; Xtra Points parallels are widely distributed in retail blasters and hobby boxes.
Overall Assessment
A clean, attractive mid-tier parallel card for a Buffalo Bills team collector or Ed Oliver fan, but carries minimal financial upside.
Condition Grade
Raw — Near Mint (7.5-8.0 estimated)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approx 65/35 Left-to-Right. The card appears heavy toward the right margin.
Surface Condition
Fair/Good; the penny sleeve hides some detail, but foil surfaces in Prestige are prone to micro-scratching.
Corner Condition
Generally sharp, but the upper-left corner shows slight whitening or soft edging common in retail-heavy sets.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping visible on the top edge; side edges appear standard for a foil-stock card.
Print Quality
High; vibrant colors with a distinct light-refracting 'Xtra Points' foil finish typical of 2021 Panini production.
Estimated Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw); Graded value likely does not exceed the cost of the grading fee.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard example; centering is slightly worse than average compared to Gem Mint 10 copies.
Authentication Tips
Authentic Panini stock features a specific thickness and high-gloss finish. Counterfeits for base-level defensive players are extremely rare.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The market value of a defensive tackle base parallel rarely justifies the $15-$25 grading fee.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; appears to be a genuine pack-pulled card.
Provenance Notes
Typically found in 2021 Panini Prestige retail products like blasters, hangers, or mega boxes.
Historical Context
Ed Oliver was the 9th overall pick in 2019. This card represents his third season as a foundational piece of the Bills defense.
Market Trends
Stable/Low; market favor heavily weights toward quarterbacks and skill positions. Oliver is a solid starter, which maintains low-level regional interest.
