Lawrence Taylor 11 Appraisal

1994 Bowman Lawrence Taylor New York Giants Football Card #11

This is a standard-sized trading card (2.5" x 3.5") featuring Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants. The front design showcases Taylor in his iconic blue Giants jersey and white pants during defensive play, set against a vibrant, refractive foil border with a geometric, prism-like texture typical of the mid-1990s Bowman 'Foil' parallel or insert series. The top left corner features the stylized teal and red 'Bowman' logo, while the bottom right displays 'Lawrence Taylor' in white uppercase lettering within a blue bar. The card is housed within a clear protective plastic soft sleeve. Visible condition characteristics include generally sharp corners, though the centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left border. The surface retains a high reflective gloss with no immediate signs of deep scratches or creases, although some very minor edge wear (silvering) common to foil-bordered cards of this era can be detected upon close inspection. This card dates to 1994, the year immediately following Taylor's retirement, making it a desirable late-career commemorative piece for collectors. The print quality is indicative of Topps/Bowman production standards from the peak of the 90s sports card boom.
