Braxton Garrett 18u Appraisal

Braxton Garrett USA Baseball 18U National Team Panini Trading Card

This item is a modern sports trading card, specifically a baseball card featuring player Braxton Garrett. The card has a standard rectangular shape with slightly rounded corners, typical of contemporary trading card releases. Its approximate dimensions appear to be the industry standard of 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The primary material is likely high-quality card stock, possibly with a glossy or semi-glossy finish on the front to accentuate the image. The card's design features a striking dark reddish-brown border on the left and right sides, slightly angled at the top of the left border, which frames the central image of Braxton Garrett in a pitching motion. He is depicted in a white USA Baseball uniform with dark blue or black accents, including the 'USA' logo on his chest and a matching cap. His baseball glove is visible on his left hand. The background behind the player is a blurred green field. Notable features include the '18U NATIONAL TEAM' logo in the upper left corner, indicating Garrett's affiliation with the USA Baseball 18U National Team. On the right side of the card, the word 'PANINI' is visibly printed vertically in white capital letters within the reddish-brown border, identifying the manufacturer. At the bottom of the card, below the player's image, there is a prominent 'USA BASEBALL' logo in red, white, and blue, followed by the player's name 'BRAXTON GARRETT' in bold, white capital letters against a reddish-brown background. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, surface scratches, or edge wear, suggesting it is either new from pack or has been well-preserved. The sharpness of the image and clarity of the text indicate good print quality. Given the '18U' designation and the visual style, the card is likely from the mid-to-late 2010s, possibly around 2015-2017, when Braxton Garrett was part of the 18U National Team.
