1994-95 Upper Deck David Robinson Special Edition #SE1 Basketball Card

This is a 1994 Upper Deck basketball trading card featuring David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs, part of the 'Special Edition' insert set. The card standardly measures 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from premium cardstock with a matte-finish tan and off-white background depicting a basketball court floor design. A central action photography cut-out shows Robinson in his home Spurs jersey performing a jump shot. Notable aesthetic features include a die-cut gold foil arch at the top containing the embossed text 'FIVE-TIME NBA ALL STAR'. The Lower left contains Robinson's name in red vertical text, while the bottom corners feature the Phoenix '95 All-Star Weekend logo and the Upper Deck 'diamond' logo. The card's condition is currently obscured by a heavily scratched and surface-worn plastic protective top-loader. However, visible through the case, the card appears to have relatively sharp corners. The centering of the die-cut foil appears slightly shifted towards the right. There is no visible evidence of moisture damage or significant fading. This card dates from the mid-1990s 'junk wax' era, specifically 1994, produced by the Upper Deck Company, known for high-quality photography and innovative foil printing for the time.
