Malaki Starks Rc Appraisal

2023 Panini Certified Malaki Starks Rookie Card /499

This is a 2023 Panini Certified American Football trading card featuring Malaki Starks of the Baltimore Ravens. The card is a standard-size modern trading card made of cardstock with a high-gloss finish. The design features a central action photograph of Starks in his white and black Ravens practice uniform (number 24) on a grass field, framed by a futuristic silver holographic and purple border design characteristic of the 'Certified' brand line. Towards the bottom of the player image, a silver serial number '402/499' is stamped, indicating it is a limited print run parallel. The 'Certified' logo is centered at the bottom, just above the player's name, 'MALAKI STARKS,' and a 'Rookie Card' (RC) shield icon is positioned to the right. The card is currently housed in a clear protective 'one-touch' magnetic case with a gold-colored magnet at the top for preservation. The condition appears to be excellent with sharp corners and no visible surface scratches or edge wear through the case. As a 2023 release, the card reflects contemporary high-end printing techniques including foil stamping and multi-layered graphic design. Its rarity is established by the serial numbering, making it a desirable piece for collectors of rookie prospects or Ravens memorabilia.
