Mike Shawaryn Appraisal

Mike Shawaryn USA Baseball Panini Trading Card

This item is a modern baseball trading card featuring Mike Shawaryn, a pitcher, as part of a USA Baseball series. The card's front design is vertical, dominated by a full-color action image of Shawaryn in a pitching motion, wearing a white USA Baseball uniform with the number '18' visible on his sleeve. The background is blurred, typical of sports photography, suggesting a baseball field. The card has a rectangular shape with sharp, clean edges, indicating it is likely in good physical condition with no visible creasing, tears, or significant edge wear from the provided image. The primary colors are the vibrant blue and white of the uniform, set against a dark blue border on the left and right sides of the card. The top left corner features a 'COLLEGIATE' logo, presumably indicating the series or player status. Along the right-hand blue border, the word 'PANINI' is printed vertically in white capital letters, signifying the manufacturer. At the bottom, 'USA BASEBALL' is printed above the player's name, 'MIKE SHAWARYN', both in clear, legible white text. The card appears to be made of standard card stock with a glossy finish, characteristic of contemporary trading cards. There are no obvious condition issues like scratches, dents, or significant scuffing visible on the surface. Given the 'COLLEGIATE' designation and the modern design, it likely dates from the 2010s or later, aligning with Panini's more recent baseball card releases. The overall craftsmanship appears high, with crisp printing and good color saturation.
