Football trading card in the style of Panini Prizm featuring Patrick Surtain II

This is a modern sports trading card printed on a chrome-like, reflective stock. The card depicts a professional American football player in action, wearing a Denver Broncos uniform with the number 2. The text on the front of the card reads 'PATRICK SURTAIN II' and 'DENVER BRONCOS', and features the Broncos team logo. In the top right corner, there is a visible 'PRIZM' logo, which is stylistically consistent with the branding used by Panini. The owner identifies this as a '2025 Panini Prizm #97', which is an unverified user-supplied claim. Visually, the card displays sharp corners and no obvious surface scratching, suggesting it is in good cosmetic condition, though physical inspection would be required to assess the edges and surface for micro-damage. The reflective nature of the card is typical of the 'Prizm' parallel or base series. Without an image of the back of the card, the specific year and card number (#97) cannot be confirmed by the appraiser. As with all modern trading cards, authenticity cannot be determined from a photograph, as high-quality reprints and counterfeits exist.

I have examined the digital image of the sports trading card featuring Patrick Surtain II. Based on what I can see, the card reflects the aesthetic hallmarks of the Panini Prizm line, including the characteristic chrome-like finish and branded logo. Per user submission, this is identified as a 2025 Panini Prizm #97; however, I cannot verify the year or card number without examining the reverse side. The card appears to be in good cosmetic condition with sharp corners, but I cannot assess potential surface micro-damage or edge wear from a photo. My value estimate of $5.00 to $15.00 is a hypothesis based on the assumption that this is a standard base issue card in near-mint condition. In the current market, modern base cards for defensive players generally command lower premiums compared to quarterbacks or rare parallels. This valuation assumes the card is a genuine Panini product; if it were determined to be a digital reproduction or a counterfeit, the value would be negligible. Because high-quality reprints exist, a physical inspection by a third-party grading service or a professional appraiser is necessary to confirm the stock thickness, surface integrity, and printing patterns required to establish it is not a replica. Final value is heavily dependent on such a third-party grade; a high-grade certification (e.g., Gem Mint 10) could significantly increase market interest, while any undetected surface flaws would likely suppress the value toward the lower end of the provided range.
