Grade
6-7 (EX-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common; high print run as a base rookie in a flagship retail-heavy set.

A classic base rookie of a future Hall of Famer. While not a high-value investment piece due to condition and set tier, it is a essential 'PC' (Personal Collection) item for Packers fans.
Condition Grade
6-7 (EX-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears shifted toward the top-right; approximately 60/40 L-R and 65/35 T-B.
Surface Condition
Visible scratches on the sleeve may be masking surface defects; appear to be minor dimples or print dots on the white border.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner shows visible softening and white chipping. Top corners appear slightly better but not gem mint.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping visible along the bottom edge; right edge shows slight roughness consistent with retail paper stock.
Print Quality
Standard for 2014 Score; colors are saturated but the card stock is prone to edge wear and corner dings.

$3.00 - $8.00 USD (Raw)

Provenance Notes
Commonly found in 2014 Score hobby boxes, retail blasters, and fat packs.
