2013 Panini Prestige Quinton Patton Rookie Card #160 (Draft Tickets)

This is a 2013 Panini Prestige football trading card featuring Quinton Patton, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. The card design is oriented horizontally with a 'Draft Tickets' theme, mimicking the appearance of an event ticket. It showcases Patton in his 49ers uniform and gold helmet. Text elements include his draft position (Round 4, Pick 128), his collegiate alma mater (Louisiana Tech), and the draft date (April 26, 2013, in New York City). A prominent 'RC' logo indicates its status as a Rookie Card. Physically, the card appears to be standard 2.5 x 3.5 inch glazed cardstock. It is currently housed in a clear protective penny sleeve and top-loader, which has likely preserved its condition. The corners appear sharp from this perspective, and the centering is relatively balanced. The surface shows no immediate signs of deep scratching or creasing, though minor surface wear is typical for untreated cards of this era. The color palette is dominated by the 49ers' red and gold, set against an off-white and burgundy ticket-style background. This card was produced by Panini America as part of their 2013 Prestige series and is a common rookie card for this specific player.

I have examined the 2013 Panini Prestige Quinton Patton 'Draft Tickets' rookie card (#160). From my visual inspection of the provided imagery, the card is in 'Near Mint' condition. The corners and edges appear sharp within the protective top-loader, and the centering on the ticket-motif layout is excellent. The surface gloss remains intact with no visible silvering or print defects common to the 2013 Prestige set. Market-wise, Quinton Patton has a limited following in the secondary market. As a mid-round draft pick whose professional career did not reach Pro Bowl or Hall of Fame status, his base rookie cards remain highly accessible. This specific 'Draft Ticket' subset is a common insert/base variation rather than a numbered parallel or autograph, which limits its scarcity. Recent market comparables for ungraduated common rookie cards from this era typically trade in the 'dollar bin' range, often used to round out team sets or player collections for San Francisco 49ers fans. While the card appears authentic based on the correct typography, Panini's trademark holofoil application, and period-accurate cardstock texture, a definitive guarantee of authenticity is not possible through images alone. A physical inspection would be required to verify stock thickness, surface refractivity under magnification, and to search for any micro-creasing not visible through the plastic sleeve. For a card of this market value, official third-party grading (PSA/BGS) would likely exceed the value of the card itself and is not recommended unless for personal sentimental reasons.
