Michael Sowers Philadelphia Waterdogs PLL Collectibles Trading Card

This item is a trading card featuring Michael Sowers, a player for the Philadelphia Waterdogs lacrosse team. The card is rectangular, made of cardstock or a similar durable paper material, with a glossy finish. Its dimensions appear to be standard trading card size, approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The dominant colors on the card are blue, yellow/gold, and white. The upper portion features an image of Michael Sowers in a white and blue 'PHILLY' jersey with a dog logo, wearing a white helmet and holding a lacrosse stick. The background behind the player is a mix of yellow/gold and blue. The top right corner includes the text 'PLL COLLECTIBLES' and a stylized 'SE' logo, likely indicating the brand or series. The bottom section of the card is a dark, possibly black or very dark grey, horizontal band with gold accents. Printed in white text on this band are the player's name "MICHAEL SOWERS" and the team "PHILADELPHIA WATERDOGS." There are also small, decorative gold diamond shapes on this bottom band. The card shows some noticeable wear, particularly a prominent white scuff or mark near the player's stick in the lower left quadrant of the image area, suggesting surface abrasion. The edges and corners appear relatively sharp, but further inspection would be needed to assess any minor dings or corner wear. The overall graphic design is modern, consistent with contemporary sports trading cards. This card aims to commemorate a professional lacrosse athlete and is likely part of a series produced for collectors.
