Zach Jackson Card Appraisal

Panini USA Baseball Zach Jackson Collegiate Trading Card

The item is a sports trading card, specifically a baseball card, featuring player Zach Jackson. The card has a vertical orientation and appears to be made of standard card stock, likely with a glossy finish on the front. Its dimensions are typical of modern trading cards, approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The front of the card is dominated by a clear, in-action photograph of Zach Jackson, presumably a pitcher given his throwing motion and the baseball cap. He is wearing a white USA Baseball uniform with red lettering 'USA' on the chest above 'Baseball' and the number '32' in red. His cleats are visible, and he is wearing a dark glove on his left hand. The background of the image is dark, providing a strong contrast to the player. Distinguishing features include a prominent white border framing the image at the bottom, which contains the 'USA Baseball' logo in red and blue, along with the player's name 'ZACH JACKSON' printed in red capital letters. The top right corner features a 'COLLEGIATE' logo with a shield design, hinting at the player's amateur status at the time of card issuance. On the right side of the card, a vertical dark blue stripe contains the word 'PANINI' printed vertically in white capital letters, identifying the manufacturer. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, tears, scuffs, or significant corner wear. The colors are vibrant and the image is sharp. This suggests it has been well-preserved, possibly stored in a protective sleeve or top-loader. The visible details point to it being a modern card, likely from the 2010s or later, given the design aesthetics and the 'Panini' brand, which became prominent in sports card manufacturing in the late 2000s.
