Opening Kickoff Ticket Appraisal

2023 Panini Contenders Brayden Willis AU-Opening Kickoff Ticket #206 PSA 4

This item is a 2023 Panini Contenders sports trading card featuring Brayden Willis. The card is part of the "AU-Opening Kickoff Ticket" series and is numbered #206. It appears to be a rookie card based on the "ROOKIE TICKET" text visible. The card features an action shot of Brayden Willis in a San Francisco 49ers uniform against a background with a starburst or burst pattern in varying shades of green and possibly other colors due to the réfractive surface. Below the image is a section that resembles a ticket stub, with the number 241 under "SEC.", 64 under "ROW", and 9 under "SEAT". An on-card autograph from Brayden Willis is prominently displayed in blue ink below the ticket section. The card is encased in a PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) grading slab. The PSA label at the top indicates the item details: "2023 CONTENDERS BRAYDEN WILLIS AU-OPENING KICKOFF TICKET", the card number #206, a grade of VG-EX 4, and a certification number 103221122. The card itself exhibits a green border and a holographic or refractor type finish, contributing to its visual appeal. The grading indicates visible condition issues, as VG-EX (Very Good-Excellent) and a grade of 4 suggest significant wear, such as creasing, corner wear, or surface flaws. The encapsulation by PSA provides protection but also confirms the card's specific condition as assessed by the grading service.
