Hampson Card Appraisal

Garrett Hampson USA Baseball Collegiate Panini Trading Card

The item is a standard-sized trading card, likely made of coated cardstock, featuring a color photograph of baseball player Garrett Hampson. The predominant colors on the card are blues, whites, and earth tones from the player's attire. The card has a clean, glossy finish typical of modern trading cards. Notable features include the player's full-body action shot, where he is seen wearing a camouflage-patterned jersey with what appears to be a 'USA' logo on the chest, light-colored baseball pants, red arm sleeves, and a dark baseball cap with a white logo. He is also wearing sunglasses and a baseball glove, holding a baseball in his right hand, poised to throw. Above his left shoulder, an emblem with 'COLLEGIATE' visible is present, indicating its series. On the right side of the card, 'PANINI' is printed vertically, signifying the manufacturer. At the bottom, 'USA BASEBALL' is prominently displayed above 'GARRETT HAMPSON' in a bold, sans-serif font. The borders of the card appear crisp and well-defined, suggesting good condition. There are no visible major creases, tears, or significant edge wear from the provided image. The surface also appears smooth without obvious scratches or dimples. Based on the 'COLLEGIATE' and 'USA BASEBALL' branding, along with the action shot, this card likely belongs to a specific collegiate or amateur baseball series produced by Panini America. Its modern aesthetic and lack of wear suggest it is a relatively recent production, likely from the 2010s or later. The printing quality seems high, with good color saturation and image clarity.
