Year & Era
2024 — Current/Modern Era
Card Type
Base Veteran Card (Season Ticket)
Grade
7.5 - 8.5 (NM to NM-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common; high print run as a base veteran card from a retail/hobby release.
Overall Assessment
A clean, modern base card of a star QB, ideal for 49ers fans or set builders but lacking high-end collector ROI.
Condition Grade
7.5 - 8.5 (NM to NM-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: Approx. 60/40 Top-to-Bottom, Left-to-Right looks decent at 55/45. Back: Not visible.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; visible minor print line potential and slight bowing typical of chrome-style or high-gloss stock, though this appears to be the standard paper version.
Corner Condition
Slight softening on the bottom-left and bottom-right corners. Top corners appear sharp.
Edge Condition
Minor white chipping visible on the bottom edge near the name plate and red border.
Print Quality
Standard Panini production quality; colors are vibrant, focus is sharp, but centering is slightly off.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $8.00 USD (Raw/Ungraded)
Comparison to Known Examples
Slightly below average centering compared to PSA 10 gem mint examples usually found for this set.
Authentication Tips
Look for the Panini logo holograms on the reverse, crispness of the 'Season Ticket' font, and the specific texture of the card stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection (PC), as the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the base card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; appears to be a genuine Panini product.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a 2024 Panini Contenders retail blaster box or hobby pack.
Historical Context
Brock Purdy rose from being 'Mr. Irrelevant' (last pick of the 2022 draft) to a Pro-Bowl QB for the 49ers.
Market Trends
Stable/High Volume; Purdy is a top-tier fantasy and NFL asset, but base cards have limited long-term upside compared to his Rookie Cards (2022).
Investment Potential
Low; as a third-year base card, it serves better as a fan item or set-filler than a financial investment.
