Alex Santos Autographed 2022 Leaf Draft Baseball Rookie Card

The item is a Leaf 2022 Draft baseball trading card featuring Alex Santos, likely an autographed rookie card. The card is designed with a dark, possibly black, upper half illustrating a photograph of Alex Santos in a baseball uniform (black top, white pants, black cap) in a pitching or fielding pose, holding a glove. The bottom portion of the card transitions to a metallic gold color with a textured or patterned background, where the player's name "ALEX SANTOS" is printed in white capital letters. Above the name, the word "DRAFT" is prominently displayed within a white rectangular border. A key feature is the on-card blue ink autograph of Alex Santos, placed just above the 'DRAFT' section, which appears to be authentic to the card. The top left corner of the card shows the "Leaf" logo, while the top right corner features the "LEAF X ROOKIE" emblem, indicating its status as a rookie card from a specific product line. The card is encased in a clear, rigid plastic top-loader for protection, suggesting it is a valuable or collectible item and is well-preserved. There are no visible condition issues such as creases, tears, or significant surface wear on the card itself, although the image resolution does not allow for minute inspection. The plastic holder appears clean with only minor smudges that are likely on the exterior. The card's design and features indicate it is a modern collectible, likely from 2022 given the 'Leaf 2022 Draft' product line.
