Middleton Error Card Appraisal

2022-23 Panini Mosaic Basketball Khris Middleton Green Mosaic Prizm (Error Card)

This is a 2022-23 Panini Mosaic basketball trading card, measuring a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches. The card features a 'Mosaic' opti-chrome finish with a distinct green and red geometric background pattern. The central image depicts Khris Middleton in an action shooting pose against the fractured-glass aesthetic characteristic of the Panini Mosaic brand. A notable and significant feature of this specific item is that it appears to be a manufacturing error (misprint); while the text at the bottom identifies the player as 'KHRIS MIDDLETON' with the Washington Wizards logo and jersey #32, the image actually depicts player Taj Gibson. The card features the 'M' Mosaic logo in the top left corner. Physically, the card shows sharp corners and clean edges, though the centering appears slightly shifted toward the right margin. The card is printed on high-quality metallic-finish cardstock with no visible surface scratches or creases in the provided image. This specific 'Green Mosaic' parallel is typically found in retail-exclusive formats. The inclusion of the wrong player's image for the nameplate makes this a 'Wrong Back/Wrong Front' style production error, which is a niche area of interest for sports card collectors and can affect market value based on rarity and demand for such variations.
