Dual Patch Card Appraisal

Marcus Allen Kansas City Chiefs Dual Patch Relic Trading Card

This is a premium modern sports trading card featuring NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen during his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs. The card is a 'relic' or 'memorabilia' card, which is significantly thicker than a standard trading card to accommodate two inset physical pieces of game-used or player-worn jersey fabric. These two white fabric swatches are visible through die-cut windows on the front of the card. The card features Allen in a dynamic action pose, wearing the classic Chiefs red and white uniform. A critical value-driving feature is the serial numbering visible on the right side of the card, appearing to be stamped out of a limited print run (e.g., /99), indicating its rarity. The card is currently housed in a rigid, clear magnetic 'one-touch' plastic holder, which provides superior protection against corner dings, surface scratches, and UV light. Based on the design language and the background 'Hobby Box' branding, this card likely originates from a high-end Panini or Donruss product line from the last decade. The condition appears excellent with sharp corners and clean edges visible through the case, though a professional grading (SGC, PSA, or BGS) would be required to confirm the state of the surface and centering. The background context suggests this was part of a 'break' or a specialized hobby box opening.
