Centering Assessment
Front: Fairly well-centered with a slightly wider white border on the right side compared to the left; Back centering not visible.

Appears clean with standard gloss for modern Donruss paper stock, no major scratches or indentations visible.
Corner Condition
Sharp 90-degree corners with no apparent rounding or fraying under normal inspection.
Edge Condition
Clean edges with no visible chipping or denting along the standard white stock borders.
Print Quality
Standard modern printing with good color saturation and clear action photography.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 raw, as modern base cards of veteran wide receivers carry minimal secondary market value.
Comparison to Known Examples
Typical example of a 2023 Donruss base card with standard factory centering variations common to Panini's paper products.
Authentication Tips
Look for crisp text, proper Donruss logo in the upper left, and standard cardstock thickness. Counterfeiting modern base cards is virtually non-existent due to low market value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The grading fees (approx $20-30) far exceed the total market value of a graded modern base veteran card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed.
