Kevin Durant Rookie Card Appraisal

2007-08 NBA Rookie Basketball Card - Kevin Durant (Seattle SuperSonics)

This item is a 2007-08 NBA 'Rookie' basketball trading card featuring Kevin Durant of the Seattle SuperSonics. The card is rectangular, made of printed cardstock, likely standard trading card size (approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches). The primary colors are a beige or light brown border, white accents, and a dark background for the player image. The card showcases a central image of Kevin Durant in his yellow Seattle SuperSonics jersey with the number '35' clearly visible on the front. He is holding a basketball and appears to be looking slightly to his right. The borders of the card have a clean, almost 'framed' appearance around the player image. Text at the top edge of the card identifies the player as 'KEVIN DURANT' in black capital letters. To the right of the name, there is a small red crown-like logo, likely indicating the card manufacturer (possibly Panini, given the 'Classic' branding style often associated with them, though 'Panini' is not explicitly visible). Below the player image, in bold white lettering against the beige background, is the word 'ROOKIE'. Below 'ROOKIE' in smaller text, '2007-08 NBA' and 'FORWARD - 35' are printed, signifying the season and Durant's position and jersey number. To the right of the 'ROOKIE' text, there's a circular green and gold Seattle Sonics logo. The card appears to be in very good condition with sharp corners and edges and no visible creasing, tears, or significant surface wear. The print quality is clear and crisp, indicating good craftsmanship. Given the '2007-08 NBA' and 'ROOKIE' designation, this card dates to the 2007-2008 basketball season, making it approximately 16 years old. It serves as a significant collectible for basketball enthusiasts due to Kevin Durant's prominence as a player.
