This is the Silver Prizm parallel, featuring a stunning rainbow refractor finish when caught in the light.

Key Features
Jared Grindlinger is a highly touted TCU commit and two-way prospect. This card represents one of his earliest licensed releases through the USA Baseball partnership. The Silver Prizm is a perennially popular parallel for set collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card features the distinct Panini Opti-Chrome stock thickness, correct rainbow refraction under light, and sharp USA Baseball/Panini logo printing. This card is not currently targeted by counterfeiters due to its recent release and relatively low price point.
Flaws to Note
Visible centering issues: the card is shifted slightly to the right. There is potential for minor surface scratches or 'print lines' which are common in the Opti-Chrome printing process but difficult to see without a loupe.
