Description
A visually striking 2024 Donruss 'Crunch Time' insert featuring top MLB prospect Konnor Griffin. This card utilizes a creative 'cereal box' theme with a 3D-effect cereal box graphic as the focal point, set against a sunburst radial background. Griffin is shown in a follow-through batting stance. This set is highly collectible due to its unique pop-art aesthetic and similarities to Panini's high-end 'Downtown' series.
Key Features
Konnor Griffin is the #9 overall pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2024 MLB Draft.

The 'Crunch Time' insert is a fan-favorite short-print subset that historically holds value better than standard base inserts.
Authenticity Indicators
The card features the modern matte/gloss finish typical of 2024 Panini cardstock. High confidence in authenticity (99%) as these are currently in active retail/hobby circulation and not known for being faked this early in their lifecycle.
Flaws to Note
Slight centering shift towards the top edge. Possible surface hairline scratches typical of Panini's glossy insert finishes. The bottom right corner shows a microscopic hint of white cardstock showing through.
