Tyler Owens 2019 Topps Heritage Minor League Baseball Card

This item is a 2019 Topps Heritage Minor League baseball card featuring pitcher Tyler Owens. The card is encased in a clear soft plastic sleeve, commonly used for protection. The primary image on the card depicts Tyler Owens in a throwing motion, wearing what appears to be a Detroit Tigers minor league uniform (white jersey with 'Tigers' scripted across the chest in orange, white pants, and a dark blue cap). Owens is visibly bearded with long hair and has tattoos on his pitching arm. The background shows parts of a baseball stadium, likely a minor league park, with blurred figures in the stands. The card design is reminiscent of vintage Topps cards, part of the 'Heritage' series, indicated by the vertical 'HERITAGE' text on the left border. A 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo is visible in the upper right corner, denoting its status. The bottom border of the card features the Detroit Tigers 'Old English D' logo on the left, with 'TYLER OWENS' printed below the player's photo. To the right of the name, there is a small baseball-shaped logo with what appears to be a pitcher inside it, likely a series or brand indicator. The card's borders are white, typical of modern cards. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, scuffs, or corner wear, suggesting it has been well-preserved within its protective sleeve. The clarity of the image and sharpness of the text indicate good print quality. The card's overall aesthetic is clean and crisp, typical of a recently produced collectible in good condition. The choice of player and specific series (Heritage Minor League) positions it within a niche segment of baseball card collecting.
