Jj Schwarz Panini Appraisal

JJ Schwarz Panini USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Trading Card

The item is a standard-sized sports trading card, primarily made of laminated cardstock. The front features a full-color action image of baseball player JJ Schwarz in a white USA Baseball uniform with red trim and blue accents. He is shown in a batting stance, wearing a blue batting helmet and white batting gloves, holding a natural wood-colored baseball bat. The number '21' is visible on his jersey. The background of the image appears to be a baseball field, likely an outdoor stadium. The card's design includes a distinctive bordering. On the left side, there's a thin dark vertical stripe, and on the right, a wider dark blue vertical band runs parallel to the edge, featuring the word 'PANINI' printed vertically in white capital letters. In the upper right corner, within the blue band, there's a small emblem or logo that reads 'COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM'. The bottom section of the card is primarily white, featuring 'USA BASEBALL' logo in blue and red. Below this, the player's name 'JJ SCHWARZ' is printed in red capital letters. The edges of the card appear crisp without significant corner rounding or creasing, suggesting good overall condition. There are no immediate visible signs of major wear, damage, or repairs, consistent with a card that has been well-preserved. There are no obvious manufacturing defects from the visible side. Given the 'COLLEGIATE' and 'USA BASEBALL' markings along with the 'PANINI' branding, this card is likely from a Panini America collegiate baseball set, probably from the mid-to-late 2010s, reflecting a modern production period.
