2022 Panini Absolute Football Trevor Lawrence #16 (Teal Parallel)

This is a standard-sized modern sports trading card from the 2022 Panini Absolute Football collection, featuring Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The card showcases Lawrence in his white away jersey, mid-action during a play. The design utilizes a 'Teal Parallel' color scheme, consistent with the Jaguars' primary colors, framing the action with curved metallic-style silver and teal graphics. The player's name and team are clearly printed at the bottom. The card appears to be constructed of high-quality cardstock with a glossy finish. It is currently housed in a clear protective plastic penny sleeve and presented on a small black display stand. Regarding condition, the card exhibits sharp corners and clean edges visually through the sleeve, though a definitive grade would require physical inspection for surface scratches or centering issues. No visible creases or staining are present. This card represents a modern 'base' or parallel variant of a high-profile young athlete, manufactured by Panini America, the exclusive licensed producer of NFL trading cards during this period.

I have examined the digital image of the 2022 Panini Absolute Football Trevor Lawrence #16 Teal Parallel. My visual assessment confirms the card is in 'Near Mint-Mint' raw condition. The edges appear crisp, and the corners show no visible whitening or softening. The 'Teal Parallel' foil reflects light consistently with Panini’s manufacturing standards, and the centering appears within a 60/40 tolerance, which is typical for the Absolute set. However, a physical inspection is required to check for surface dimples, 'print lines' common in 2022 Panini products, or micro-scratches on the glossy finish. Market-wise, Trevor Lawrence remains a high-demand modern athlete, but this specific parallel is a non-numbered retail variant. Recent sales for raw copies of this card fluctuate between $5 and $12. The value is capped by the high print volume of the Teal parallel compared to 'Hobby' exclusive parallels like 'Spectrum' or numbered inserts. If this card were professionally graded a GEM MT 10 by PSA or BGS, the value could increase to approximately $30-$45. Final authentication via image alone is limited. I cannot verify the cardstock thickness (points), scent (re-colored cards often carry chemical smells), or the tactile surface under magnification. To fully authenticate the item, an in-person examination is necessary to ensure the foil stamping is original and the card has not been 'trimmed' or 'pressed' to improve its physical profile. No provenance was provided, but as a modern mass-produced card, rarity remains low.
