Market outlook
Rising Outlook 7/10
The combination of Lamar Jackson's star power and the scarcity of Color Blast SSPs typically supports long-term collector demand, especially for graded copies. The current market pricing also suggests the card is already established as a premium modern insert.
Next months. Likely stable to moderately rising, with strongest movement in gem-mint and elite graded copies.
Long term. Likely gradual appreciation if Jackson remains a top-tier NFL quarterback and the card stays a recognized Color Blast SSP from a popular 2025 Panini product.
History
Lamar Jackson is an American professional football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens and one of the most dynamic dual-threat players of his era. He became a national star after winning the Heisman Trophy at Louisville and later won NFL MVP honors, which made him a major modern-era hobby name with strong demand across rookies, parallels, inserts, and low-numbered hits.
The exact original base-card release for a 2025 Lamar Jackson #16 football card is not fully identifiable from the available results because the set is marked unknown. The card appears to be a 2025 Panini football issue, with market data specifically showing a 2025 Panini Phoenix Color Blast version of Lamar Jackson #16.

- SportsCardPro pricing shows the 2025 Phoenix Color Blast #16 has a strong grade premium, with graded 10 value far above raw copies.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for sharp corners, clean edges, centering, surface print lines, foil wear, and scratches, especially because Color Blast-style cards are highly susceptible to visible surface defects. Also inspect for chipped black edges or whitening, which can hurt grades quickly on modern chromium-style football cards.
Storage. Store the card in a penny sleeve and a rigid top loader or card saver, keep it away from heat and humidity, and handle only by the edges. For a high-value SSP like this, use a clean one-touch or submission sleeve only if the card is already in strong condition and intended for grading.
Authenticity. Verify the exact card number, player name, team, and product-specific design details against known 2025 Panini Phoenix Color Blast examples. Be cautious of custom prints, altered cards, and counterfeit low-numbered inserts; authentic cards should have consistent print quality, correct stock, and standard Panini layout details.
