Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; Graded (Gem Mint): $30 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent sales of non-quarterback Rated Rookie green parallels from the 2024 set range between $5 and $15 depending on the player's early-season performance and specific parallel rarity.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the right. Corners look sharp, but minor edge whitening is possible on the reverse based on lighting. Surface shows typical Optic gloss and depth.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading at this time unless for personal collection. As a tight end prospect, the cost of grading ($19-25) currently exceeds the market value of the card even in a high grade.
Card Description
The card features Gunnar Helm, a Tight End for the Texas Longhorns, in his light blue (Tennessee Titans-style) jersey with number 84 visible. It includes the 'Rated Rookie' logo in the bottom left corner and the 'Optic' brand logo in the upper right. The design features a green holofoil border with an electric/velocity pattern.
Notable Features
Rated Rookie designation (RC logo), Green Velocity parallel finish, collegiate player representation on a professional-style card design.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits authentic 'Rated Rookie' logo typography and the signature chrome stock depth associated with Panini Optic products. The holofoil pattern correctly reacts to light sources.
