Trading Card Display Appraisal

Steve Young Signed Super Bowl XXIX MVP Framed Display with Trading Card

This item is a framed sports display commemorating Steve Young's MVP performance in Super Bowl XXIX. The display is mounted on a dark, possibly black, marble-patterned base or mat, presenting a sophisticated backdrop. On the right side, there is a large, color photographic print of Steve Young in action, wearing a red football jersey with the number '8' and white pants, in what appears to be a throwing motion. The photograph is notably signed in black marker by Steve Young, with the signature clearly visible across his body. The photo is protected by a clear pane, likely glass or acrylic, and framed with a bright red border, complementing the jersey color. To the left of the main photograph, vertically aligned, is a smaller, encapsulated football trading card featuring Steve Young, also in a red jersey with '8'. The card is housed in a clear protective holder. Below this trading card, a rectangular plaque with a shimmering ruby-red finish is attached. The plaque is etched with the text "STEVE YOUNG," "MVP," and "Super Bowl XXIX," likely in a metallic or contrasting color. The entire piece shows good craftsmanship, with clean lines and securely mounted components. The materials appear to be in excellent condition, with no visible damage, scratches, or wear on the frame, glass, or plaque. The autograph appears bold and unfaded. The estimated age of this piece would be post-Super Bowl XXIX (1995), likely from the mid-to-late 1990s or early 2000s, aligning with the peak of Steve Young's career and the style of sports memorabilia from that era. The overall presentation suggests a high-quality collectible, designed for display.
