Vladimir Tarasenko 2021-22 Upper Deck SP Authentic Hockey Card

This item is a 2021-22 Upper Deck SP Authentic hockey trading card featuring player Vladimir Tarasenko of the St. Louis Blues. The card is rectangular, made of cardstock, and appears to have a holographic or reflective finish across the main image area, giving it a shimmering, textured look. The primary colors in the player's uniform are blue, white, and yellow accents. Tarasenko is depicted in an action pose, wearing his helmet with the number '91' clearly visible on his jersey. The Upper Deck logo is present in the top right corner of the card. Below the main image, a dark border area contains the player's name "VLADIMIR TARASENKO" in large, bold, white lettering, with "BLUES" underneath in smaller text. The card exhibits clean edges and corners, suggesting it is in near-mint to mint condition with no apparent creases, scratches, or significant surface wear. The reflective surface could be prone to fingerprints or minor scuffs if not handled carefully. Its modern design and photographic quality indicate it is a contemporary collectible, likely from recent years, consistent with the 2021-22 season. The holographic effect adds a premium visual quality to the card, a common feature in modern sports card sets to denote parallels, inserts, or higher rarity.
