Jake Ursey Baseball Card Appraisal

2023 Jake Ursey Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes Trading Card (Reverse Side)

This item is the reverse side of a sports trading card, likely from a baseball player, specifically identified as 'Jake Ursey'. The card's design features a prominent rectangular layout with distinct color blocking. The top section consists of a blue band across the width, below which is a white area with thin red horizontal stripes. Within the white area, the number 'No. ADPS-JU' is printed in black, indicating a potential set number or unique identifier. The large central portion of the card is a dark green panel, which serves as the background for the athlete's name, 'JAKE URSEY', printed in a lighter, possibly white or light grey, bold sans-serif font. Below the name, there is a textual description in a smaller, white font, detailing the 'USA Baseball's Athlete Development Program' and the aspiration of young players to compete internationally. An embossed or printed logo for 'USA Athlete Development' is visible within the green section, further reinforcing the connection to USA Baseball. Below the biographical text, there is a series of white dots arranged horizontally, which appear to be the placement for a signature or auto-patch, though it seems blank or smudged in this instance. Beneath this, a line of text states, 'The autograph is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc.', indicating the manufacturer and the authenticity of a potential autograph. The bottom section of the card is another blue band, similar to the top, containing the orange 'PANINI' logo and fine print details including '2023 PANINI - USA BASEBALL STARS & STRIPES' and copyright information. The card is printed on cardstock with a matte finish, and the edges appear clean and sharp, suggesting good handling and preservation. The white border around the perimeter frames the design, providing a crisp delineation. The overall impression is one of modern production (2023), typical of contemporary trading cards, and its condition appears to be near mint given the lack of visible creases, bends, or significant surface wear.
