Year & Era
2021 — Current/Chrome Era
Card Type
Base Draft/Rookie Prospect Insert
Grade
6.0 - 7.0 (EX-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common; high print run unlicensed product.
Overall Assessment
A standard rookie-year insert of Trey Lance from a non-licensed brand. Due to condition issues (edges/surface), it serves better as a personal collection filler than an investment piece.
Condition Grade
6.0 - 7.0 (EX-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Moderate left-to-right bias on front; top-to-bottom appears relatively balanced.
Surface Condition
Visible scuffing and scratches; significant wear appearing at the bottom left-edge surface area.
Corner Condition
Softening and whitening visible on bottom-left and bottom-right corners.
Edge Condition
Significant chipping and silvering along the bottom edge; rough cut visible on top.
Print Quality
Average; colors are vibrant but card stock is prone to edge chipping due to the foil layer.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Lower-than-average condition due to visible bottom-edge damage and lack of protective sleeving.
Authentication Tips
Look for crisp typography on nameplate and holographic-style finish characteristic of Wild Card products.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended; grading costs exceed the market value of the card.
Red Flags
The card exhibits significant wear on the bottom edge/surface that suggests it has been handled without protection.
Provenance Notes
Likely pulled from a retail 'hanger' box or mega box from the 2021 Wild Card Alumination set.
Historical Context
Released during the peak of 2021 rookie QB hype when Lance was the 3rd overall pick.
Market Trends
Declining; Trey Lance's secondary market value has dropped significantly following his trade to Dallas and lack of playing time.
Investment Potential
Low; unlicensed base cards of backup quarterbacks rarely appreciate in value.

Display & Preservation
Should be placed immediately in a penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further edge whitening.
Interesting Facts
Wild Card is an 'unlicensed' manufacturer, which is why there are no team logos on the helmet or jersey.
