2023 Leaf Special Release Rookie Achievement C.J. Stroud Graded Football Card

This item is a 2023 Leaf Special Release Rookie Achievement football trading card featuring C.J. Stroud, a quarterback. The card is professionally graded and encapsulated in a clear, rigid plastic slab by a grading service, indicated by the top label. The label at the top identifies the card as '2023 Leaf Special Release Rookie Achievement, WR-01 C.J. Stroud' and is assigned a grade of '10' which is typically considered 'Gem Mint,' and also states 'GEM MINT' below the numerical grade. The card itself, visible through the clear case, features a full-color photograph of C.J. Stroud in a white Houston Texans jersey with the number '7' visible, wearing a helmet, and seemingly in a throwing motion. The background of the image appears to be slightly blurred or faded, focusing attention on the player. Above the player's image, the 'Leaf' brand logo is present in an ornate, decorative script, followed by the bold sans-serif text 'ROOKIE'. Below the image, the player's name 'C.J. STROUD' is printed, with 'QUARTERBACK' underneath in a smaller font. The card appears to be in pristine condition, consistent with its 'Gem Mint' grade, with no visible surface wear, corner issues, or edge damage that would be detrimental to its high grading. The encapsulation protects the card from further damage and verifies its authenticity and condition. The physical characteristics indicate a standard trading card size encased in a relatively thick, sealed plastic holder, designed for long-term preservation and display. The overall appearance suggests a modern collectible with high quality printing and robust protection.
