Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Panini Prizm technology with correct light refraction. High confidence. Panini logo and licensing text on back (assumed) should be crisp with no blurring. This specific card is not commonly counterfeited due to its modern production and current market price point.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering bias. Visible silver borders on the edges of Panini Chronicles cards are prone to tiny 'white' chips if not handled carefully. Possible surface dimples common in the Prizm manufacturing process.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach the widest audience of player collectors. COMC is a good alternative for lower-value rookie inserts to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate, as the grading fee currently exceeds the raw value. Use keywords like 'RC', 'Rookie', and 'Prizm' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a bubble mailer or via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracked shipping.
