Curtis Martin Rookie Card Appraisal

2004 Absolute Football Kick Off Curtis Martin NFL Trading Card

This is a printed sports trading card featuring NFL player Curtis Martin, a running back for the New York Jets. The card depicts an action shot of Martin running with the football during a game. The upper portion of the card features a photograph showing Martin in his white Jets uniform with green trim, running on a football field among other players, some in green and white Jets uniforms and some in orange and black uniforms. The lower portion of the card has a dark background with a gradient effect and holographic elements. Text on this lower section includes "KICK OFF", "WEEK 1 | 2004", and directly below, in smaller gold lettering, "196" above "LIFETIME YARDS". The words "Absolute Football" are visible in a script font below the yardage information. To the right of this is a vertical panel with a shimmering, iridescent effect, with the New York Jets logo prominently displayed. Below the logo are the words "CURTIS MARTIN" in large gold letters and "RUNNING BACK" in smaller gold letters. The card appears to be made of cardstock with a glossy finish on the image and possibly the holographic section. Given that it is a trading card from 2004, some minor edge wear or corner dings may be present but are not clearly visible in this image. The colors are vibrant and the printing appears sharp. This card is likely part of a specific set related to the 2004 NFL season and the 'Kick Off' theme.
