2013 Bowman Black Appraisal

2013 Bowman Black Eli Manning #18 Graded BGS 9 Mint

This is a 2013 Bowman Black football trading card featuring quarterback Eli Manning of the New York Giants, identified as card #18 in the set. The card is encased in a professional tamper-evident slab provided by Beckett Grading Services (BGS). The card features a sleek black border and a central action photo of Manning in his blue home Giants jersey, drop-backing for a pass. A highly significant and unique feature noted on the Beckett label is that the card contains an encapsulated relic of '2010 Game Used Pants' which are 'Photo Matched 10 Games,' adding substantial provenance and historical value to the piece. The card has received an overall grade of 9 (Mint), indicating excellent centering, surface quality, edges, and corners. The serial number 0033521925 is visible on the label for authentication purposes. The construction consists of high-gloss cardstock with silver-foil accents on the frame and player name. There are no visible surface scratches or edge wear through the protective case. The card represents a premium release from the early 2010s football card era, combining high-grade condition with verified game-worn memorabilia from a two-time Super Bowl champion.
