A 2023 Donruss Optic Tyler Lacy 'Rated Rookie' featuring the distinctive Teal Velocity Prizm parallel. The card shows Lacy in his Jacksonville Jaguars away jersey (teal) and white pants, running on the field. The design incorporates a high-gloss finish with the iconic Teal Velocity zigzag light-refracting pattern.
Key Features
Rated Rookie logo; Teal Velocity parallel which is typically a retail-exclusive short print; first-year card for the Jaguars defensive end.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Optic chrome stock thickness, authenticating 'Rated Rookie' logo font, and standard Panini anti-counterfeit holofoil effects. Not a high-risk card for counterfeiting due to player market value.
Flaws to Note
Vertical centering lean towards the right border; potential minor edge silvering which is common in the 2023 Optic set; check for light surface dimples under a direct light source.

Selling Tips
