Elijah Moore
Wide Receiver · New York Jets (depicted in Ole Miss collegiate uniform)
Wild Card Alumination Ocular #OCULAR-EM (Estimated)
Year & Era
2021 — Current/Chrome Era
Card Type
Insert / Base Parallel (Non-licensed)
Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (6.0 - 7.0 range estimated)
Rarity
Common; non-licensed cards generally have lower demand and higher relative availability in the secondary market compared to Panini brands.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking 'hypnotic' insert card for a team or player collector, but lacking the brand prestige and condition required for high-end investment or grading.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (6.0 - 7.0 range estimated)
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom and left edges; however, the abstract design makes precise measurement difficult.
Surface Condition
Visible surface texturing consistent with the Alumination design; some slight dimpling or factory lines may be present near the top edge.
Corner Condition
The top left corner shows significant white chipping/wear; the bottom right corner shows light fraying visible against the dark background.
Edge Condition
Top edge exhibits noticeable chipping and rough cutting; right edge shows white spots where the dark ink has flaked away from the card stock.
Print Quality
Average for Wild Card; colors are vibrant but the edge cutting and dark-border ink adhesion are prone to visible wear.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy shows more edge and corner wear than average 'pack-fresh' examples of this set, which usually feature very crisp dark borders.
Authentication Tips
Verify the holographic/foil nature of the 'Alumination' brand; check for the standard thin cardstock used by Wild Card in 2021. Counterfeiting is extremely rare for this specific set.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No signs of trimming or alteration; the visible edge wear is consistent with standard high-gloss, dark-bordered cards from this era.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via Wild Card Alumination hobby or retail boxes. This is a collegiate-themed card produced during the transition from his Ole Miss career to the NFL.
Historical Context
Elijah Moore was a standout at Ole Miss and a high second-round pick. This card captures the 'hype era' of the 2021 WR class.
Market Trends
Market for Elijah Moore is currently stable to declining following his trade from the Jets to the Browns. Non-licensed cards typically hold less value over time than licensed NFL (Panini) counterparts.
Investment Potential
