Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; Graded (PSA 10): $35.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales of non-numbered Optic University prospect autographs on eBay typically range from $3 to $12 depending on the player and college prestige.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the bottom right; corners show minor surface wear typically seen in Optic stock; no major visible creases or scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. As a college-focused Panini product, the resale value increase usually does not cover the cost of grading for non-major-star prospects.
