Estimated Value
Raw: $2 - $5. Graded PSA 10: $15 - $25. Graded PSA 9: $8 - $12.
Comparison to Known Examples
Centering is slightly heavier on the right side of the front border, which is common for modern Bowman cut tolerances but still within acceptable limits for a high-grade submission.
Authentication Tips
Check for official Topps/Bowman branding, proper card stock thickness, and crisp font typography without pixelation under magnification.
Grading Recommendation
SGC or PSA. However, given the low raw value, grading is generally not financially worthwhile unless done as part of a bulk submission or for personal PC protection.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; standard modern card in protective sleeve.
Provenance Notes
Sourced from standard 2023 Bowman football hobby or retail wax products.
Historical Context
Bowman Football returned to the modern trading card landscape offering a prospect and veteran focused set, highlighting established NFL stars in the iconic Bowman layout.
Market Trends
Stable market demand driven by Jalen Hurts' performance as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, though base cards remain heavily produced and affordable.
Investment Potential
Hold. Base cards of established quarterbacks offer stable long-term value tied to team success and career milestones, but lack significant appreciation potential compared to low-numbered parallels or true rookie cards.
