Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Estimated EX-MT to NM-MT (6–8), subject to inspection of the card itself
Estimated Market Value
If the autograph is authentic and certified, approximately $75–$300 for an older signed Cristiano Ronaldo card/photo-card, with substantially higher values possible for a properly authenticated early-career or officially licensed autograph. If uncertified, likely approximately $10–$75 depending on buyer confidence and the exact issue. The underlying unsigned card, if a common Futera-style issue, may be worth only a few dollars to roughly $20.
Recent Sales
Comparable values vary widely. Authenticated Cristiano Ronaldo autographs on officially licensed cards, photographs, and memorabilia commonly sell from the low hundreds into four figures depending on the period, authentication, format, and signature quality. Unauthenticated binder-kept signed cards generally sell at a significant discount on eBay and similar marketplaces. Exact recent comparable sales cannot be matched without the card back, manufacturer, set, and card number.
Condition Details
The card appears reasonably clean, but the image is photographed through a plastic binder page and at an angle, making centering and surface evaluation difficult. The visible front shows glare, possible surface haze, and some binder-related distortion. Corners and edges are largely obscured. The large black autograph crosses the image and may be original ink, but its authenticity and condition cannot be established from this photograph.
Grading Recommendation
Do not grade the card itself before establishing autograph authenticity. Consider PSA/DNA, Beckett Authentication Services, or JSA authentication if the item has provenance and the signature appears genuine. A card grade alone would add little value unless the issue is scarce. If authenticated and in roughly EX-MT/NM-MT condition, encapsulation could improve marketability; grading and authentication costs may be disproportionate if the card is an inexpensive, unlicensed, or common issue.
Card Description
The card features Cristiano Ronaldo in a Portugal national-team setting, wearing a red top and green shorts with the number 7 visible. He appears to be celebrating or reacting in a snowy or wintry scene. The design uses a mostly black-and-white photographic treatment with a color image of Ronaldo, a dark border, and a vertical name panel reading “CRISTIANO RONALDO.” A small stylized logo is visible near the upper-right area, but it is not sufficiently clear to identify with certainty.
Notable Features
Large black marker autograph across the front; Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic Portugal number 7; early-career appearance; dark photo-card design. No autograph-sticker, serial numbering, relic, rookie designation, or certification hologram is visible on the pictured side.
Authentication Notes
The autograph cannot be authenticated from an image alone. The signature is broad and heavily stylized, and the photograph does not show ink flow, pressure variation, or the reverse. Check the back for a manufacturer statement, official autograph wording, serial number, hologram, or certification. Compare the card stock, logo, border, printing sharpness, and signature against documented examples of the suspected Futera issue. Because the item is stored in a binder and may be a signed photograph or unofficial photo-card rather than a licensed trading card, provenance is especially important. A clear, straight-on photograph of both sides—without the plastic sleeve—would be needed for a more definitive identification.
