2023 Panini Score C.J. Stroud Rookie Card - Halloween Pumpkin Parallel

This is a 2023 Panini Score football trading card featuring Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. As a Rookie Card (RC), it captures his debut season in the NFL. This specific version is the 'Pumpkin' or 'Halloween' parallel, distinguished by a vibrant orange outer border decorated with repeating black jack-o'-lantern patterns. The card features an action photograph of Stroud in his white Texans jersey, set against a green stadium background framed by a white and green border. Highlighting the festive theme, white spiderweb motifs are positioned in the upper corners of the inner frame. The 'Score' brand logo is visible in the top right, and the Houston Texans helmet logo is featured at the bottom left. The card is standard size (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and is constructed from glossy cardstock. It is currently housed in a protective plastic soft sleeve and displayed on a small black stand. The visible condition appears excellent, with sharp corners and clean edges, though a definitive grade would require a physical inspection of the surface and centering. This retail-exclusive parallel is part of a seasonal promotion, often found in 'Trick or Treat' style packs, making it a unique themed collectible for the 2023 modern era.
