Description
This is a 2023 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Jack Sawyer 'New Recruits' insert card featuring the Ohio State Buckeyes defensive end. The card features the striking 'Red Ice' cracked ice Prizm background with a high-gloss finish and prismatic light refraction. Sawyer is pictured in full Buckeyes home scarlet uniform with the official 'RC' Rookie Card shield logo on the bottom right of the inner frame.
Key Features
Features a prominent Ohio State star in a pro-style collegiate set; the Red Ice parallel is a fan-favorite 'cracked ice' texture that matches the team colors perfectly; official RC shield included.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'New Recruits' holographic text and the specific geometric 'Ice' refraction pattern are consistent with Panini's proprietary Prizm technology. No known high-quality fakes exist for this specific insert.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right. The card is currently being held with bare hands, which introduces oils and potential surface scratches; typical of Prizm stock, fine 'print lines' may be visible under magnification.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of team-specific collectors. Local Ohio-based Facebook card groups would also be highly effective.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless 10, as the grading fee will likely exceed the card's raw value. Place it in a penny sleeve and top-loader immediately to prevent surface damage. Use 'Ohio State Buckeyes' in the title to attract team collectors.
