Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering (especially for graded copies), surface scratches on the Prizm and Optic variants, edge wear on the thin card stock, and any print defects like ink smudges in the Pen Pals series. Common flaws include off-center printing and corner dings.
Storage. Best practices include storing in a rigid top loader or magnetic case, using a penny sleeve as an inner layer, keeping in a climate-controlled environment away from humidity and direct sunlight, and avoiding frequent handling to prevent surface damage.
Authenticity. To spot fakes, verify the card's serial numbering (if applicable), check for consistent holographic elements on Prizm and Optic cards, confirm the print quality matches official Panini standards, and ensure the player photo and team logo align with Detroit Lions branding. Reprints often lack the high-gloss finish or have blurred text.
