AI Appraisal Estimate

This item appears to be a modern sports trading card housed in a clear protective hard case (one-touch magnetic holder). The card features Nyck Harbor of South Carolina, as indicated by the printed name and team logo. The card displays elements consistent with a 'Bowman Chrome' collegiate trading card, including a '1st Bowman' logo in the top left corner and a 'Bowman Chrome' logo in the bottom right. A serial number reading '02/10' is visible on the upper right side, suggesting a limited print run, though this is subject to verification. The card follows a design aesthetic consistent with contemporary 'black refractor' or similar parallels, featuring a dark border and holographic or chrome-like sheen when light hits the surface. The user-supplied information identifies this specifically as a '2025 bowman #82 black', though the year and specific numbering remain unverified without physical inspection of the card's reverse side or manufacturer records. The card shows no visible significant damage, though some reflections and minor surface dust appear to be on the external plastic casing rather than the card itself. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with high-grade modern commemorative sports collectibles.

I have examined the image provided of the item identified by the owner as a 2025 Bowman #82 Black, featuring Nyck Harbor. Based on what I can see, the card bears markings consistent with a '1st Bowman' Chrome-style parallel, specifically a serial number reading '02/10' which suggests a very limited print run if the card is accurate to its labels. The visual aesthetics, including the dark borders and holographic sheen, are consistent with highly sought-after 'Black Refractor' or similar low-numbered parallels. My valuation assumes the owner's attribution is correct and that the card is a legitimate manufacture. However, I cannot verify the legitimacy or the exact year and numbering from a photograph alone; physical inspection of the reverse side and card stock would be required. The current market for low-numbered collegiate cards of high-profile athletes is volatile but generally strong. The estimated range of $600 - $1,100 reflects the scarcity suggested by the '02/10' mark. This value is heavily dependent on a third-party grading assessment to confirm the physical condition and the absence of surface flaws not visible in the photo. An in-person examination by a professional authentication service would be necessary to establish its status as a sanctioned release. If this item were determined to be a reproduction, unlicensed printing, or a 'custom' card rather than a sanctioned Bowman product, the value would likely drop to a negligible amount, typically under $20. Furthermore, an unauthenticated example of this type generally commands a lower price than one that has been officially slabbed and graded.
