The card belongs to the 'Making the Grade' rookie subset and is the rare 'Gold' parallel version. It is officially numbered 199 in the set and features a limited print run, specifically hand-numbered '65/75' in the bottom right corner.

The design features a sepia-toned sunburst background behind an image of Walker in his Buccaneers jersey.

The label indicates a grade of MINT 9, suggesting nearly perfect preservation with sharp corners, very minor surface imperfections, and excellent centering.

The slab appears clear and free of significant scuffing or cracks, preserving the high-quality card stock and reflective gold-foil accents characteristic of premium Upper Deck releases from the early 2000s.
