2021 Panini Select Chris Olave Ohio State Buckeyes Football Card

This item is a 2021 Panini Select Football hobby trading card, specifically featuring Chris Olave, a wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes. The card's design includes a prominent central image of Olave in action, wearing a red Ohio State football jersey with the number 17, and white pants and shoes. The background of the image depicts a football field. The card's border is a striking combination of dark blue, red, and gold, with metallic or holographic accents, typical of Panini Select series cards known for their vibrant and multi-layered designs. The colors appear rich and saturated. At the top of the card, the word "SELECT" is visible in a gold font, indicating the card series. Below the main image, the player's last name appears to be "OLAVE," partially visible, suggesting this is a player-specific card rather than a team card. Below the name, the word "BUCKEYES" is also visible, confirming his affiliation with the Ohio State Buckeyes. The card measures approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, a standard size for modern trading cards. Visible condition issues include what appears to be some minor surface wear or dust particles on the card's surface, particularly noticeable near the top right and left corners, as well as some light edge wear visible if examined closely. The card does not appear to be professionally graded or encased, and its raw state allows for direct observation of its physical condition. The style period is contemporary, likely around 2021, given the player and the card series. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced trading cards, featuring clear printing and detailed imagery, though minor imperfections from manufacturing or handling can be present.
