1999 SkyBox Premium Peyton Manning 'HologrFX' Basketball-Style Football Card

Small-scale sports trading card measuring approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches, featuring Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning during his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. The card is a 1999 SkyBox Premium 'HologrFX' insert, characterized by its distinct holographic foil finish and a geometric, diamond-patterned background that shifts colors under light. Manning is depicted in his road white jersey with blue numerals (number 18), shown in a dynamic passing pose against a deep blue and silver refracted background. The upper right corner features the stylized 'HG' HologrFX logo, while the bottom contains a black and white nameplate with 'peyton MANNING' in a sans-serif font and 'colts - qb' listed alongside his number. The card appears to be in a protective magnetic one-touch hard case, which provides UV protection and physical defense against corner dings or surface scratches. From the image, the corners appear sharp, and the centering seems relatively even, though a direct scan would be required to confirm microscopic surface conditions. This era of SkyBox production is known for its high-gloss finishes and intricate foil technology, making it a sought-after mid-career parallel for Manning collectors. The card is a prime example of late 1990s experimental printing techniques in the hobby.
