Athlete Trading Card Appraisal

Christopher Muniz Autographed USA Baseball Stars & Stripes Athlete Development Program Trading Card

The item is a contemporary sports trading card featuring Christopher Muniz from what appears to be a USA Baseball 'Stars & Stripes' Athlete Development Program series. The card is rectangular, made of stiff card stock with a glossy finish on the front. Its primary colors are white, blue, red, and green, consistent with a patriotic theme. The top portion features the text 'ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM' in a green banner. To the left, a 'UA BASEBALL STARS & STRIPES' logo is prominently displayed within a circular emblem, featuring a stylized 'UA' and stars and stripes. The central and dominant feature is a photograph of Christopher Muniz, depicted in a baseball uniform with a blue jersey and cap, holding a brown baseball glove. He appears to be a young male athlete. Below the image, there's a white area with a holographic or reflective finish, on which a black, hand-signed autograph is present. The signature, though stylized, can be deciphered as 'Christopher Muniz'. Below the signature area, his name 'CHRISTOPHER MUNIZ' is printed in a thin, light green font against a darker green background, accompanied by five small, faint white stars to the right. The card exhibits clean edges and corners, suggesting it is in excellent to near-mint condition with no immediately visible creases, dents, or surface abrasions. The glossy surface appears unblemished, and the colors are vibrant, indicating good preservation. This item is designed as a collectible, likely from a modern production run, given the clear, high-resolution printing and the typical design elements of current sports cards.
