Year & Era
2021 — Modern/Prizm Era
Card Type
Insert Parallel
Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint (Estimated PSA 9)
Rarity
Uncommon insert parallel from a popular retail and hobby insert set, though print runs for unnumbered inserts are generally higher than serial-numbered parallels.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking insert of a dynamic young wide receiver, offering solid appeal for Dolphins fans and modern set builders alike.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint (Estimated PSA 9)
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 52/48 Left-Right, 50/50 Top-Bottom. Back: Not directly visible, but expected within acceptable tolerances.
Surface Condition
Appears clean with typical Prizm chrome gloss reflection; no major scratches or print lines visible through the penny sleeve.
Corner Condition
Sharp 90-degree corners with no apparent rounding or chipping visible in the sleeve.
Edge Condition
Clean silver-finished edges with standard factory cut, no noticeable chipping or roughness.
Print Quality
Strong color saturation characteristic of the Prizm green background with good contrast against the player cutout.
Estimated Value
Estimated raw value between $5 to $15 USD depending on current market demand; graded PSA 10 copies may command $30 to $50 USD.
Comparison to Known Examples
Centering is slightly favorable compared to typical retail Prizm pulls, which often suffer from left-right or top-bottom misalignments.
Authentication Tips
Look for authentic Panini Prizm reflective sheen, crisp typography, and correct card stock thickness. Counterfeits are rare for unnumbered inserts of this tier.
Grading Recommendation
SGC or PSA. Given the low raw value, grading is generally only worthwhile if centering and surface perfection strongly point to a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; card is safely housed in a penny sleeve.
Provenance Notes
Originates from 2021 Panini Prizm Football packs, likely pulled from retail blasters or hanger boxes given the insert set format.
