2015 Panini USA Baseball Team Signatures Jordan Butler - 18U-JB (Numbered 179/499)

This item is a 2015 Panini USA Baseball 'Team Signatures' trading card featuring Jordan Butler, specifically card number 18U-JB. It is a limited edition card, numbered 179 out of 499, indicated by '179/499' in the top right portion of the card. The card features a portrait image of Jordan Butler, a baseball player, wearing a cap and holding a glove. The main color scheme of the card's background is white with prominent red and blue accents, particularly a dynamic red and blue 'flag' design element at the top, consistent with USA Baseball branding. Below the image, the player's name 'JORDAN BUTLER' is printed in bold red lettering. A biographical blurb details Butler's pitching experience with the 2013 USA Baseball 15U National Team, highlighting his win on June 25, 2015, and a save on July 1. The card explicitly states 'The autograph is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc.' and features the 'PANINI' logo, although an actual autograph is not visible on this side of the card, suggesting it would be on the front or that this is an unsigned version from a set that includes signed cards. The bottom portion prominently displays 'TEAM SIGNATURES' in large blue letters, with the 'USA BASEBALL' logo beneath it. The reverse side mentions 'USA Baseball® trademarks and copyrights are used under license from USA Baseball. All Rights Reserved. © 2015 Panini America, Inc. Printed in the USA.' The card appears to be in good condition with sharp corners and clean edges, typical of a well-preserved trading card. There is no visible damage, creasing, or significant wear. The card stock appears to be of standard weight and finish for modern trading cards. Its clean state suggests it has been handled carefully or stored appropriately.
