Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw)
Recent Sales
Base Rated Prospects from current Panini sets typically sell for $0.50 to $2.00, often as part of bulk lots or team sets on platforms like eBay.
Condition Details
Card appears moderately off-center from left to right. Top-right corner shows slight softening. Surface appears clean through the penny sleeve with no obvious scratches, but centering is the primary detractor.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The player is a college prospect and the card is a non-licensed (Panini/No Team Logo) base card. The cost of grading exceeds the market value, and the centering issues would likely prevent a Gem Mint 10 grade.
