Overall Assessment
A striking Green Mosaic parallel of an NFL legend in great raw condition, ideal for Eric Dickerson or Los Angeles Rams team collectors.
Condition Grade
Raw — appears Near Mint to Mint
Centering Assessment
Front appears relatively well-centered, roughly 50/50 left-right and top-bottom within acceptable Panini tolerance limits.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; the distinctive Mosaic reflective pattern is clean with no obvious scratches or print lines visible through the toploader.
Corner Condition
Sharp 90-degree corners with no visible rounding, dings, or whitening at the tips.
Edge Condition
Clean edges with no chipping or rough cutting along the borders.
Print Quality
High gloss finish with vibrant color saturation typical of Panini's Mosaic chromium technology.
Estimated Value
$5 to $15 USD raw; potentially $25 to $50 if graded a PSA 10 due to grading fees outweighing raw value.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard copy for the print run with no glaring centering or surface defects.
Authentication Tips
Check for the authentic Mosaic reflective grid pattern, correct card stock thickness, and official Panini copyright on the reverse.
Grading Recommendation
SGC or PSA, though grading is likely only worthwhile if submitting in bulk or if aiming for a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for personal collection.
