Elijah Moore
Wide Receiver · Ole Miss Rebels (College) / Cleveland Browns (Current NFL)
Wild Card Alumination Ocular #OCL-08
Year & Era
2021 — Current/Modern Era (Rookie Year)
Card Type
Draft Pick Insert / Parallel
Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (Estimated 6-7)
Rarity
Common to Uncommon insert; unlicensed college-uniform cards typically have high production volume and lower hobby demand compared to Panini/TCG.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking unlicensed insert for a player collector, but has minimal commercial value. The surface damage significantly limits any potential for high-grade secondary market sales.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Excellent-Mint (Estimated 6-7)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-to-Bottom, Left-to-Right appears slightly heavy on the right border.
Surface Condition
Significant concerns noted; visible circular indentation or surface refraction flaw near the center bottom above the 'O' in OCULAR.
Corner Condition
Right-side corners (as viewed) appear to have minor soft wear; white showing on bottom right edge corner tip.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping evident on the bottom edge; foil layers on unlicensed cards like Wild Card are prone to edge lifting.
Print Quality
High-gloss foil finish with concentric spiral design. Subject to 'rainbowing' effects and surface scratches common in foil-heavy sets.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD (Raw)
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy with typical unlicensed card centering issues. Surface defects visible in the image put this below a 'Gem Mint' specimen.
Authentication Tips
Verify holographic 'Ocular' stamp in top corner; check for standard card stock thickness (35pt). Counterfeiting is rare for this specific non-licensed brand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
Surface indentation/dimple above the logo is a major condition red flag; likely a factory defect or pressure mark.
Provenance Notes
Distributed in 2021 Wild Card Alumination hobby and retail boxes as a chase insert/parallel featuring draft prospects.
