Camden Kozeal Appraisal

2023 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes Camden Kozeal 18U National Team Relic Trading Card (Back)

This item is the back of a trading card featuring Camden Kozeal, likely from a Panini USA Baseball release. The card exhibits a clean, rectangular form with a white border framing a central design. The primary colors on the card are red, white, and blue, consistent with USA Baseball branding. At the top, in the white section, the text 'No. USAM-CK' is present, likely a card number or series identifier. Below this, a prominent grey shield-like emblem with '18U NATIONAL TEAM' and 'USA' is visible, indicating Kozeal's affiliation with the USA Baseball 18U National Team. The central blue section contains biographical information about Camden Kozeal, detailing his dedication to baseball, stating, "YOU WON'T FIND KOZEAL MAKING TIK TOKS OR POSTING HIS THOUGHTS ON TWITTER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF HE'S NOT ON THE DIAMOND, YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND HIM AT THE GYM, WHICH HE HITS EVERY MORNING AS HE CONTINUES TO HONE HIS CRAFT. IT'S THAT WORK ETHIC THAT LANDED HIM A SPOT ON THE USA BASEBALL 18U NATIONAL TEAM IN 2022." Below this text, a critical detail emerges: "The enclosed game-worn material is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc." This indicates the card is a 'relic' or 'memorabilia' card, containing a piece of game-used material, adding significantly to its perceived value and uniqueness. The bottom red section of the card features the 'PANINI' logo in yellow, confirming the manufacturer. Beneath the logo, copyright information is printed: "2023 PANINI - USA BASEBALL STARS & STRIPES USA Baseball trademark and copyrights are used under license from USA Baseball. © and ® 2023 USA Baseball. All Rights Reserved. © 2023 Panini America, Inc. Produced in the USA." This dates the card to 2023. The card appears to be in excellent condition with no visible creases, tears, or significant edge wear, suggesting it has been well-preserved. Its crisp lines and clear printing point to good manufacturing quality. The card's design is typical of modern sports trading cards, focusing on a clear player identity and manufacturing details.
