Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for the Shattered parallel of Sam LaPorta range between $12 and $30 depending on the timing of Lions games and buyer interest. Comparisons for Top Rookie Tight Ends in Phoenix retail inserts remain steady.
Condition Details
Surface appears clean with strong reflective gloss; centering seems slightly heavy toward the right edge. Visible corner softing on the bottom-left corner and minor edge whitening typically found on thick Panini stock.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if you believe it will hit a PSA 10. Given the slight corner wear and the low current value of the raw card, the cost of grading may exceed the immediate value return unless the player's market increases significantly.
