Drake Maye Autograph Appraisal

2024 Donruss Football Drake Maye Rated Rookie Card

This is a 2024 Donruss 'Rated Rookie' football trading card featuring quarterback Drake Maye of the New England Patriots. The card follows the classic Donruss design aesthetic with a primarily white border, accented by the signature blue 'Rated Rookie' logo in the upper left corner and the Donruss logo in the upper right. The central photograph depicts Drake Maye in a New England Patriots home jersey, holding a football in a triple-threat stance on a practice field. The player's name and team occupy the bottom text field, styled with clean, modern typography. Physically, the card is standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and appears to be constructed of high-gloss cardstock. It is currently housed in a clear protective top-loader inside a transparent sleeve, which helps preserve its condition. Based on visual inspection through the plastic, the centering appears relatively balanced with slight bias towards the left border. The corners and edges seem sharp with no visible whitening or chipping, indicating a likely 'Pack Fresh' Near-Mint to Mint condition. As a contemporary 2024 release, this item represents a key rookie card for a high-draft-pick quarterback, making it a significant piece for modern football collectors. The craftsmanship is typical of Panini America's Donruss line, featuring vibrant printing and crisp graphic lines without any visible manufacturing defects like print lines or surface dimples in the photograph area.
