2022 Panini Score Rashod Bateman Green Border Parallel #198

This is a standard-sized modern sports trading card featuring Rashod Bateman of the Baltimore Ravens. The card belongs to the 2022 Panini Score set and is a 'Green Border' parallel variant, indicated by the vibrant green outer frame surrounding the central image. The player is depicted in mid-action, wearing the Ravens' purple jersey and white pants, carrying a football. The card's front design includes the player's name and position (WR) at the top left, the 'Score' brand logo at the top right, and a graphic of a football helmet at the bottom left. The card is protected by a clear plastic sleeve. Physically, the card appears to be in Excellent to Near-Mint condition; the white exterior borders are clean, the green inner borders show sharp color, and the corners appear relatively crisp through the sleeve. There are no obvious surface scratches, creases, or major printing defects visible from the photograph. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom margins. This item is a modern collectible from the 2020s era, produced by Panini America.

I have examined the 2022 Panini Score Rashod Bateman Green Border Parallel #198. Based on a visual inspection of the provided image, I find the card to be in 'Near Mint' condition. The surface maintains its original gloss, corners appear sharp under magnification, and the green parallel coloring is vibrant. The centering on the front is slightly off, favoring the left and bottom edges, which is a common manufacturing characteristic for the Score base-parallel production run. Authentic physical features—including the trademark Score font, logo placement, and photographic resolution—consistent with a genuine Panini America production. The Green Border parallel is a retail-specific variation. While more limited than the base card, it remains a mass-produced item. Market demand for Rashod Bateman currently fluctuates based on his role in the Ravens' offense; however, as this is a non-rookie, non-autographed card from a lower-tier product (Score), its secondary market value is primarily driven by team collectors. Comparable sales for similar unnumbered parallels from this set typically range between $1 and $3 in the current market. Limitations: My assessment is based solely on digital images. A physical examination is required to verify the stock thickness and surface integrity (checking for micro-scratches or wax stains not visible here) and to ensure the card has not been trimmed or recolored. For full authentication and a definitive grade, I would recommend submitting the piece to a third-party service like PSA or SGC, though the current market value of the card does not justify the cost of professional grading fees.
