Blake Rutherford Panini USA Baseball 18U Game Action Trading Card

This item is a modern sports trading card, specifically a baseball card featuring player Blake Rutherford. The card is rectangular, oriented vertically, and appears to be made of standard card stock with a glossy finish on the obverse. The primary image on the card depicts Blake Rutherford, wearing a white 'USA' baseball uniform with a red number '29', in a batting stance. He is wearing a dark blue helmet and red and black baseball cleats. The background of the image suggests a baseball field, with a muted blue wall behind the player and a dirt/grass infield beneath him. Notable features include several printed elements: - Top left corner: 'GAME ACTION' in white lettering, with '18U' in red text within a brown box below it, indicating the age group or league. - Bottom left corner: 'USA BASEBALL' logo. - Bottom center: The 'PANINI' logo, indicating the card manufacturer. - Bottom right corner: The player's name 'BLAKE RUTHERFORD' is printed in white capital letters. The card exhibits sharp edges and corners, suggesting it is in very good to excellent condition with minimal visible wear. No significant creases, scratches, or surface abrasions are immediately apparent from the provided image. The colors are vibrant and well-saturated. The alignment of the printing seems good, and the image is clear and focused. It appears to be a factory-produced collectible, likely part of a series or set from Panini focused on USA Baseball's youth or collegiate programs. Given the '18U' branding, this card likely dates to the mid-2010s, corresponding to when Blake Rutherford would have been playing at that level.
