Condition Details
The card is inside a binder sleeve which obscures fine surface details. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom. Corners and edges show no major visible whitening from this angle, though the bottom-right corner shows slight softening.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. As a high-volume Topps Now insert of a college prospect/young player, the cost of grading likely exceeds the potential value increase unless it secures a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Derik Queen is shown in a New Orleans Pelicans jersey (#22) holding a basketball. The card features the 'GENERATION NOW' design with a large stylized text overlay and the Pelicans team logo in the upper left corner. A faint action shot of the player is ghosted in the background.
Notable Features
Features the official 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo. Part of the 'Generation Now' insert series. Notable for being a pre-draft/prospect card featuring NBA branding.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with standard Topps high-gloss finish and clear typography. Topps Now cards are printed to order, often having high consistency in card stock quality.
