Nixon Warren Card Appraisal

Nixon Warren 'Stars & Stripes' Relic Baseball Card

This is a modern baseball trading card, likely from the 'Stars & Stripes' series, featuring the player Nixon Warren. The card is predominantly white with a red and blue border, framing a central image. The upper portion of the card's design incorporates a stylized American flag motif, indicated by red and white stripes on the left and a blue field with white stars on the right, providing a patriotic theme. In the top right corner, there is a circular logo that reads "U.A. BASEBALL STARS & STRIPES," further solidifying its origin. The main image displays Nixon Warren in what appears to be a baseball uniform with 'USA' visible on his chest, in an action pose, possibly pitching, holding a baseball in his right hand. His hair is long and blond. A key feature of this card is the embedded 'relic' piece, positioned in the lower-left quadrant. This relic is a rectangular, slightly rounded grey material with at least three circular white dots, suggesting it might be a piece of a game-used or player-worn item, such as a batting glove or a piece of equipment, given its texture and integrated design. Below the player's image, his name, 'NIXON WARREN', is printed clearly in white text on a dark band. The card appears to be in overall good condition with sharp corners and no visible major creases or tears, though a bright glare is present on the player's chest area from the lighting condition during the photograph. The borders are clean and well-defined, suggesting good production quality. The inclusion of a player-worn or game-used relic elevates this from a standard trading card to a 'memorabilia card', a popular collectible format, likely dating from the 21st century given the design and specific features.
