Chris Okey Card Appraisal

Panini USA Baseball Chris Okey Game-Used Relic Card

This item is a modern sports trading card, specifically a Panini brand 'USA Baseball' card featuring Chris Okey. The card is designed with a patriotic theme, incorporating elements of the American flag and the 'USA Baseball' branding. Its physical characteristics include a rectangular shape, typical of trading cards, made from a glossy cardstock material. The primary colors visible are red, white, and blue, consistent with the USA theme. A significant and unique feature of this card is the incorporation of three swatch or relic pieces, which appear to be fragments of a baseball jersey or uniform. These swatches form the letters 'U', 'S', and 'A' respectively. The 'U' swatch is light grey/white and textured, the 'S' swatch is dark navy or black and also textured, and the 'A' swatch is a similar light grey/white texture to the 'U'. These relic pieces suggest that the card belongs to a 'Game-Used' or 'Memorabilia' series, which are highly sought after by collectors. The card is well-preserved with no visible creases, tears, or significant edge wear, indicating it is in at least Near Mint condition. The surface appears clean and free of major scratches, retaining its original gloss. The player's name, 'CHRIS OKEY', is clearly printed in white text on a blue background on the right side of the card, alongside 'USA BASEBALL'. The Panini logo is vertically oriented on the left side, confirming its manufacturer. The overall design suggests a contemporary production, likely from the 2010s or later, given the modern Panini branding and card aesthetics. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with precise cuts and clear printing, typical for premium sports cards featuring memorabilia.
