Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws to check include centering, edge wear, and surface scratches. The card's raw condition is sensitive to handling, and the $490 raw price reflects market movement.[1][2]
Storage. Store in a rigid, non-acidic sleeve or toploader to prevent bending. Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.[2][4]
Authenticity. Fakes may have incorrect centering or color saturation. Verify the card number (#7) and publisher (Panini Donruss) against official listings. graded 10 graded copies are available and more reliable for authentication.[4]
