Rickey "Rick" Lowell 1999 Upper Deck MVP Baseball Card

This item is a 1999 Upper Deck MVP baseball card featuring Rickey 'Rick' Lowell, who played for the Florida Marlins at the time. The card has a teal-colored border that frames a dynamic action shot of Lowell running on a baseball field. He is depicted in his pinstriped white and teal 'Marlins' uniform, wearing a black helmet and black arm sleeves, with a focused expression. The field in the background is a vibrant green with a clear blue sky, and a blurred crowd is visible above. In the bottom left corner, there is a circular logo featuring a marlin fish design, possibly indicating the team or a specific card series. Below the main image, in a gold-colored font, 'RICKEY LOWELL' is printed on the teal border. There's also a smaller gold icon or logo in the top left corner of the player's photo, likely a set identifier for Upper Deck MVP cards. The card appears to be in good condition, protected within a clear plastic sleeve, which is part of a larger binder page. No significant corner wear, creases, or surface imperfections are immediately visible, suggesting it maintains a fair to good collectible grade. The card's design elements, such as the teal border and gold accents, are characteristic of late 1990s sports card aesthetics, emphasizing a bold and somewhat metallic look. The inclusion of a player in an active pose is typical for baseball cards aiming to capture the excitement of the game. Its presence in a protective sleeve indicates it has been handled with a collector's care.
