Mickey Moniak Appraisal

2017 Panini USA Baseball Game Action Mickey Moniak Rookie Trading Card

This item is a 2017 Panini USA Baseball 'Game Action' trading card featuring Mickey Moniak. The card prominently displays a photograph of Moniak in a baseball uniform, appearing to be in motion or mid-swing with a bat, suggesting a dynamic, action-oriented shot. He is wearing a white uniform with red numbering, and a helmet, indicative of a player during a game. The background of the image features a baseball field with other players or figures in the distance, out of focus, maintaining the primary focus on Moniak. The card's design features the text 'GAME ACTION' at the top, presented in a bold, capitalized font. Below this, there's a smaller logo with '18U' inside a shield shape. Towards the bottom left, the 'USA Baseball' logo is visible with 'UA' and 'BASEBALL' underneath. Below the main image, the player's name, 'MICKEY MONIAK,' is printed. The card appears to be made of standard cardstock materials typical for modern sports trading cards, with a glossy finish on the front surface. Based on the visible branding 'Panini' on the packaging in the background, it belongs to their 2017 USA Baseball set. The condition of the card cannot be fully assessed without viewing the back and edges; however, the visible front appears to be relatively clean with no obvious major creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions. The color saturation and image clarity suggest good print quality. The card itself represents a specific year and player, often sought after by collectors interested in prospect players or specific draft classes, as Moniak was a prominent pick.
