Marcus Allen 31 Appraisal

1995 Pinnacle Zenith Edition Marcus Allen #31 Trading Card

This is a 1995 Pinnacle Zenith Edition football trading card featuring Marcus Allen in his Kansas City Chiefs uniform. The card depicts Allen in an action pose, carrying a football and wearing a red jersey with white and yellow detailing (number 32) and white pants. The background features a textured, metallic golden 'brick' design that is characteristic of the mid-90s Zenith premium brand. In the upper right corner, the 'Zenith' gold pyramid logo is visible with the '1995 Pinnacle' brand text below it. The name 'Marcus ALLEN' is printed vertically along the left edge in bold white and gold lettering. Physically, the card appears to be of standard 2.5 x 3.5-inch dimensions and is currently stored inside a plastic protective sleeve. The sleeve shows significant surface scuffing and cloudiness, which obscures the finer details of the card's surface. Notable condition issues visible through the sleeve include slight softening of the corners (particularly the top right) and potential edge wear. The centering of the image appears slightly shifted toward the top. This high-gloss, premium card from the mid-1990s represents a period of significant innovation in card technology, utilizing foil and embossed textures to target the high-end collector market.
