2023 Panini Phoenix Football David Montgomery #14 Base Card (Detroit Lions)
Panini · Collectibles > Sports Trading Cards > Football Cards
Era / Decade
2020s (Specifically 2023 release)
Material
Chromium-style high-gloss cardstock with metallic foil finish; typical of the Phoenix brand's premium production.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The card appears relatively clean in the photo; however, it is shown resting on a soft surface without a protective sleeve or top-loader, which significantly increases the risk of 'soft corners' or surface scratches. There is a slight visible ding on the bottom right corner.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While David Montgomery is a popular player, base cards (non-autographed, non-numbered, non-refractor) have a high supply and low individual demand. Demand peaks during the NFL season.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$0.50 - $3.00 (Low: Raw/Ungraded, Mid: Combined with other Lions cards, High: PSA 10 graded, which this specific card likely wouldn't achieve)
Estimated Retail Value
$5.00 - $10.00 (Price of a single retail or hobby pack containing multiple cards)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings show single base copies of this card selling for $0.99 to $1.50 with free shipping. Often sold in bulk sets where 50+ cards sell for $10-$15.
Description
2023 Panini Phoenix Football card featuring running back David Montgomery in his Detroit Lions home blue jersey. The Phoenix line is known for its geometric designs and 'opti-chrome' reflective finish. This is card #14 from the base set. Dimensions are standard 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
Key Features
David Montgomery is a key contributor to the popular Detroit Lions offense; Panini Phoenix is a sought-after mid-tier product; clean white and blue aesthetic matching team colors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The holographic sheen, specific card number (#14), and distinctive Phoenix logo/font are consistent with mass-produced 2023 Panini sets. This is a base card and rarely counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Visible minor wear on the bottom right corner; lack of protective sleeve means the card surface likely has microscopic scratches; high-gloss 'chrome' surfaces are highly prone to fingerprints and scratches that lower professional grades.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using the eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or Facebook Marketplace as part of a 'Lions Team Lot'.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this item individually as shipping costs will exceed the card's value. Best strategy is to bundle it with 5-10 other Detroit Lions cards to create a 'Team Lot' for $10-15. Use keywords: 'David Montgomery', 'Detroit Lions', 'Panini Phoenix', '2023 NFL'. Immediately place it in a penny sleeve and top-loader.
