1996 Select Certified Edition Amani Toomer Rookie Card #117

This is a 1996 Select Certified Amani Toomer rookie trading card featuring the New York Giants wide receiver in his away white jersey with red numerals. The card displays a dynamic action shot of Toomer on the field, set against a stylized, painterly background. The top left corner features the 'Select Certified' logo in silver foil, while the top right identifies the player with his name, 'Amani Toomer'. The bottom right corner contains a silver foil New York Giants team logo and the position 'WR'. The card's design is typical of the mid-1990s high-end sports card market, utilizing thick cardstock with a glossy finish. It appears to be housed in a clear protective penny sleeve, which may slightly obscure the surface texture. Regarding condition, the corners appear sharp with no immediate evidence of whitening or dinging, and the centering looks relatively balanced. There are no obvious surface scratches, creases, or light-refraction issues visible through the sleeve. This specific card represents Toomer's debut year following his selection in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft from the University of Michigan, making it a key piece for Giants franchise collectors. The craftsmanship is indicative of Pinnacle’s premium Select brand from that era, known for its mirror-like finish and foil accents.
