Woodson Card Appraisal

Charles Woodson Select Football Trading Card (Michigan Wolverines)

The item presented is a Charles Woodson football trading card, specifically from the 'Select' series, as indicated by the prominent 'Select' logo at the top center. The card depicts Charles Woodson in a football stance, wearing a white jersey with the number '2' visible on the shoulders, and a yellow helmet. The background of the image features a blurred football field, suggesting an action shot or a posed photo on the field. Below the primary image, 'WOLVERINES™' is printed in white, indicating his collegiate affiliation with the University of Michigan. Beneath that, 'CHARLES WOODSON' is clearly displayed in a white font against a dark blue or black background, serving as the player's nameplate. The card's design incorporates striking blue and gold accents along the borders, typical of modern trading card designs that aim for visual appeal and a premium feel. The use of blue and gold further reinforces the Michigan Wolverines theme. The card appears to be made of standard card stock, likely with a glossy finish, and is currently housed within a transparent plastic sleeve or 'toploader' for protection. This protective housing suggests a collector's item and is a common practice for preserving the card's condition. While no specific condition issues like creases, tears, or significant edge wear are immediately apparent from the image, the card's surface appears reflective due to the glossy finish and the plastic sleeve, which could obscure minor surface imperfections if present. The overall presentation indicates a well-preserved item, likely from a modern manufacturing era, perhaps post-2000, given the card's design and 'Select' series branding, which is a contemporary product line in sports cards. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear printing and vibrant colors.
