2000 Donruss Preferred Q&A Lettermen Peyton Manning #QA10

This is a premium 2000 Donruss Preferred Q&A Lettermen Peyton Manning football card, certified and graded by Beckett (BGS). The card features a distinctive design with a die-cut or textured aesthetic, showcasing Manning in his Indianapolis Colts home white jersey against a deep blue background with a large horseshoe logo. A notable feature is the 'N' patch window at the bottom of the card, representing a part of a letter from a jersey piece. This specific card is identified as 'Series 1 of 50,' indicating its rare, limited production run. The item is encased in a thick, clear acrylic BGS tamper-evident slab. The label identifies the card's specific series and number, and assigns it an overall grade of 8.5 (Near Mint-Mint+). The labeling includes the Beckett logo and sub-grade designations, though specific sub-scores are not fully visible in the image. Although the outer case shows some surface scuffs and light scratches, the card itself appears well-preserved within the protective housing. The craftsmanship indicators include high-gloss surfacing, clean foil stamps for the Donruss logo, and crisp typography for the 'LETTERMEN' branding running vertically. The age is approximately 24 years, dating to Manning's early career dominance with the Colts.
