1993-94 SkyBox Premium Patrick Ewing Basketball Card

The item is a 1993-94 SkyBox Premium basketball card featuring Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks. The card is encased in a clear plastic top-loader for protection, suggesting it is a collectible item. The card's front design features a dynamic action shot of Patrick Ewing in his Knicks uniform (white with red and blue trim, number 33 visible on the back) performing an emphatic dunk. He is depicted mid-air, with the basketball above his head, poised to go through a white and red basketball net. The background is a vibrant red, transitioning to a dark, almost black, color at the top right, with swirling orange, red, and black graphic elements that evoke motion. The card is bordered by a striking metallic gold frame. In the top right corner, the 'SKYBOX PREMIUM' logo is visible in black text against a lighter background. At the bottom left, the 'KNICKS' logo, a wordmark above a basketball graphic, is clearly displayed. "PATRICK EWING" is printed in a clean, sans-serif font below the action shot, centered within a dark horizontal band that extends across the card's width. The physical card appears to be in excellent condition, with sharp corners and no visible creases or surface abrasions, indicating it has been well-preserved. There are no obvious manufacturing defects or wear. The clear plastic holder, while providing protection, also shows some minor surface scuffs or dust, but these do not appear to affect the card itself. The card likely dates to the 1993-1994 NBA season, placing it within the early to mid-1990s era of basketball card collecting. The overall craftsmanship of the card, typical of SkyBox Premium issues, points to a higher quality production compared to standard base card sets of the period, with a focus on vibrant imagery and premium finishes.
