Rated Rookie Card Appraisal

Xavier Watts Donruss Rated Rookie Football Card

This is a modern sports trading card featuring American football player Xavier Watts, positioned in his safety (S) role for the Atlanta Falcons. The card is part of the iconic 'Donruss' brand set, specifically featuring the 'Rated Rookie' logo in the bottom-left corner, a hallmark of Panini America's Donruss product line. The card features a standard rectangular trading card construction with a glossy front finish. The design incorporates a white border with a multi-layered geometric frame in blue and red. The central image shows Watts in a practice uniform (white jersey with 'ATL' and number 31, black shorts, and helmet) against a soft-focus background of a practice field. The upper right contains the classic Donruss 'D' logo, and the bottom right features the Atlanta Falcons team logo. The player's name, 'XAVIER WATTS • S', is printed clearly at the top. The card is housed within a transparent protective plastic top-loader sleeve, which helps preserve the integrity of the corners and edges. Visually, the card appears to be in excellent condition with sharp corners and clean edges, though an official grade would require professional assessment for micro-wear and centering. The color saturation is vibrant, and the typography is crisp, indicating high-quality modern manufacturing. This item represents the contemporary era of NFL licensed collectibles, typically produced within the last 1-2 years.
