2022 Donruss Mark Andrews #31 Football Trading Card

This is a standard-sized trading card (2.5" x 3.5") featuring Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. The card is part of the 2022 Donruss football set produced by Panini. The front design features a dynamic action shot of Andrews running with the football, clad in his purple Ravens home uniform and gold-accented helmet. The layout includes a white outer border with a purple inner frame that utilizes the classic Donruss 'Rated Rookie' style aesthetic, although this is a veteran base card. The Donruss 'D' logo with three parallel multi-colored stripes is prominently displayed in the bottom right corner. The bottom of the card contains a white nameplate identifying 'MARK ANDREWS' and his position 'TIGHT END - RAVENS'. Notable physical traits include the sharp white cardstock and the matte finish on the image. In terms of condition, the card appears to be in Excellent to Near Mint condition, currently housed in a clear protective plastic penny sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border. The corners and edges, as viewed through the sleeve, seem sharp with no immediate evidence of whitening or chipping. There are no signs of surface scratches, creases, or staining visible in the image. This modern card represents a key offensive player for the Baltimore Ravens franchise from the early 2020s era.

I have examined the 2022 Donruss Mark Andrews #31 card. Based on the provided imagery, the card presents in Excellent to Near Mint (EX-NM) condition. The surface preserves a clean matte finish, and the edges appear crisp through the protective sleeve. I noted a distinct left-to-right centering bias (approximately 60/40), which is common for this Panini production run but slightly diminishes the potential for a 'Gem Mint' technical grade. Market conditions for base veteran cards from high-volume sets like Donruss remain stable but low. Mark Andrews is a premiere NFL tight end, ensuring steady demand among Baltimore Ravens team collectors; however, as a non-short-print, non-parallel base card, the supply is abundant. This card serves as a high-quality 'filler' for set builders rather than a high-yield investment piece. Recent sales for raw copies of this card consistently fall within the $1 to $3 range. My valuation assumes the card is free of hidden surface dimples or micro-scratching not visible in the photo. Please note: This visual assessment cannot definitively confirm authenticity. A full appraisal would require a physical inspection to verify cardstock weight, ink layering under magnification, and dimensions. For definitive authentication and valuation, submission to a third-party grading service like PSA or SGC is recommended, though the current market value of the card is significantly lower than the cost of the grading service itself.
