2015 Panini USA Baseball Team Signatures Connor Ollio #17 /299

This item is a 2015 Panini USA Baseball trading card, specifically from the "Team Signatures" subset, featuring baseball player Connor Ollio. The card is predominantly white with a large image of Connor Ollio in a baseball uniform with the letter 'U' visible on his shirt, likely representing USA Baseball. He is shown holding a baseball glove. The top portion of the card features a design incorporating red and white, reminiscent of the USA flag. The card is numbered "No. 17" at the top right. A prominent emblem for "15U NATIONAL TEAM" is also present, indicating his participation in the 15-and-under national team. Below this emblem, the card shows a serial number of "228/299," indicating it is a limited edition. The text on the card describes Connor Ollio's achievements, noting that he 'earned two victories for the USA Baseball 15U National Team during the 2015 COPABE "AA" Pan-Am Championships,' where he 'threw 11.2 innings with five strikeouts vs. Colombia and Mexico.' It also mentions he 'went 2-for-4 at the plate'. The card clearly states "The autograph is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc." although no autograph is visible on the reverse side shown, suggesting it might be on the front or this card is part of a series where some are autographed and some are not, or it's a redemption card. The Panini logo is visible, as is the "Team Signatures" title. At the bottom, a 'USA Baseball' logo is present, and the copyright information indicates '© 2015 Panini America, Inc. Printed in the USA.' The card appears to be in good condition with no obvious bends, tears, or creases visible from the provided image, though the surface has some glare. This indicates a well-preserved collectible, likely made of standard card stock material common for sports trading cards.
