Panini · Collectibles & Antiques > Trading Cards > Sports Trading Cards
Era / Decade
2024 (Modern Era)
Material
Chromium-style cardstock with a metallic/refractive finish (Opti-chrome technology typical of the Phoenix line). High-quality gloss coating.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The card displays standard factory edges; however, there is visible whitening/wear on the bottom right corner and potential surface scratches from being handled without a protective sleeve/top-loader.
Demand Level
Moderate. While Russell Wilson is a high-profile player, this is a common base card rather than a limited parallel or autograph. Demand is highest among Giants team collectors or Wilson completionists.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Low-Mid-High range for a raw, unsleeved base card transition year player)
Estimated Retail Value
$4.00 - $6.00 (Price of a single retail pack from which this is pulled)

Description
2024 Panini Phoenix Russell Wilson trading card featuring him in a New York Giants uniform. This base card features the signature geometric Phoenix design with a silver/chrome aesthetic and blue accents to match the team colors. Standard 2.5 x 3.5 inch size.
Key Features
Features Russell Wilson on a new team (Giants), making it a 'new team' card for collectors. Panini Phoenix is a popular mid-tier set known for its high-gloss, metallic look which displays well.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Phoenix' logo, font consistency, and the specific 2024 Giants jersey image (likely a jersey swap/photoshop as per Panini early season sets) align with official 2024 production releases.
Flaws to Note
Softness or 'whitening' on the bottom right and top right corners. Visible surface smudging from handling without gloves/sleeves. Lack of a penny sleeve or top-loader in the photo suggests potential micro-scratching on the chrome surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using the eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shows in the NY/NJ area. It is also suitable for 'Bulk' or 'Dollar Bin' sales at local card shops.
Selling Tips
Place the card immediately into a penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further edge wear. When listing, use keywords like 'Russell Wilson Giants Base,' 'Panini Phoenix 2024,' and 'NY Giants Football.' Shipping via a plain white envelope (PWE) with basic tracking is the only way to remain profitable on a card of this value.
