Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Near Mint to Mint (Potential 8-9)
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly bottom-heavy with a right-leaning horizontal bias (~55/45).

Edge Condition
Edges appear clean and free of chipping along the white nameplate area.
Print Quality
High color saturation in the green mosaic pattern with sharp player imagery from the NFL Combine.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 (Raw); Graded values are currently speculative given the player's draft status.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard retail parallel; centering is within the acceptable range for this mass-produced set.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Mosaic' pattern texture and the Prizm chrome technology which refracts light in a specific geometric pattern.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; card appears authentic and unaltered.
Provenance Notes
Likely sourced from a 2024 Panini Mosaic Draft Picks Retail Blaster or Hanger box.
