2022 Panini Contenders Optic NASCAR Mike Harmon Season Ticket Base Card

This is a 2022 Panini Contenders Optic NASCAR racing card featuring driver Mike Harmon. The card is designed with the 'Season Ticket' theme, mimicking the aesthetic of a sports venue admission ticket. It prominently features a photograph of Harmon in his black and red racing suit, wearing sunglasses and a goatee. The color palette of the card is dominated by green and red borders with white and burgundy accents. Notable graphical elements include the 'Season Ticket' header and a ticket stub graphic on the right side indicating a seat assignment of Seat 1, Row 20, Section 22. The 'Contenders Optic' logo is visible above a facsimile barcode at the bottom right. The card appears to be constructed of premium thick cardstock with a high-gloss, reflective 'Optic' chrome finish typical of Panini's high-end sets. In the image, the card is housed within a yellow-tinted rigid plastic top loader for protection, which shows some surface scuffing. The card itself exhibits sharp corners and clean edges, though precise centering cannot be determined due to the camera angle. This card is part of the base set released during the 2022 manufacturing year, showcasing modern printing techniques and high-quality photography standard for the era.
