Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded PSA 10: $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw LaPorta Phoenix base/silvers range from $2 to $10 depending on shipping. Higher values are seen for numbered parallels.
Condition Details
Moderate top-to-bottom centering bias. Top right corner shows slight soft edge. Surface appears clean with typical chrome-stock refraction, but visible fingerprinting on the right edge.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a personal collection (PC) item. The current market value for a base silver rookie of a non-quarterback rarely justifies the $15-$25 grading fee plus shipping costs.
Card Description
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta pictured in his home blue Lions jersey and helmet, carrying a football. The card features the 'Phoenix' brand logo in the upper left and the Detroit Lions logo in the upper right. The design utilizes sharp geometric patterns characteristic of the Phoenix set.
Notable Features
Features the player's name at the bottom in a stylized bar. While not explicitly visible on the front, this is card #132 in the set which is the Sam LaPorta Rookie Card (RC) designation for the 2023 Phoenix checklist.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss finish, card stock thickness, and the specific 'Etched' pattern in the background background consistent with Panini Phoenix production standards.
