Will Howard

About this card

The 2024 Donruss Will Howard #309 is a football trading card that has been authenticated, graded and encapsulated by MPE Grading and assigned the grade MPE 10 Gem/Mt. It carries the vault serial MPE-1341907, which is printed on the slab label and can be checked at any time with the serial number lookup. The physical card is stored in the MPE Vault, so it can change hands as many times as it needs to without ever being shipped, re-sleeved or risked in the post.

What an MPE 10 grade means

MPE grades on a 1–10 scale, and this copy came back at 10 (Gem/Mt). A 10 is the top of the scale: four sharp corners, clean edges, an unmarked surface and centering that is effectively dead-on. Very few copies of any card grade this high, which is why a 10 usually carries the largest premium over a raw copy.

How MPE grades a card

Every card that comes through MPE is assessed on the same four things, then given a single overall grade:

• Centering — how evenly the image sits inside the borders, front and back.
• Corners — sharpness, and any fraying, rounding or dings.
• Edges — chipping, whitening and nicks along all four sides.
• Surface — print lines, scratches, dimples, gloss loss and staining.

The card is then sealed in a tamper-evident slab with its label and serial, photographed for the vault, and the grade is recorded against that serial permanently. Full grading tiers and turnaround times are on the MPE grading price list.

Value and availability

This card is not currently listed for sale. MPE's estimated market value for it is $8.00, worked out from recent completed eBay sales of the same card in comparable condition plus the premium a graded copy typically carries. That is an estimate for reference, not an appraisal and not an offer to sell. You can still send the current holder an offer using the button above — they are free to accept or decline it.

Common questions

Where is the physical card?

In the MPE Vault. Cards stay in insured storage under their serial, which is what lets them be bought, sold and traded instantly without shipping. Holders can request physical delivery whenever they want it.

What is the MPE serial for?

It is the permanent identifier for this exact slab. The grade, the images, the ownership history and every recorded sale are all tied to it, so a buyer can verify what they are getting before they pay.

How do I get cards like this?

Either buy one on the marketplace, rip a pack to pull graded slabs at random, or send in your own cards to be graded and have them vaulted.
