2023 Panini Score C.J. Stroud Halloween Parallel Football Trading Card

This is a 2023 Panini Score football trading card featuring Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. This specific edition is a 'Halloween parallel' variant, distinguished by its festive orange border adorned with a pattern of black jack-o'-lantern pumpkins and spider web motifs in the white inner corners of the main image field. The card showcases a dynamic action photo of Stroud in his white Texans jersey, dropping back to pass. Measuring the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches, it is printed on semi-glossy cardstock. The Houston Texans team logo and Stroud’s name/position (C.J. STROUD - QB) are clearly printed in the upper and lower corners within the green and white inner frame. Regarding condition, the card appears to be in near-mint to mint state, housed in a protective top-loader. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left margin, but the corners and edges visible through the sleeve appear sharp without obvious whitening or fraying. The colors are vibrant with no visible surface scratches or fading. As a rookie year parallel of a high-performing quarterback, the card represents a niche but popular seasonal collectibility within the modern hobby.
