2000 23KT Gold Collectibles Barry Bonds 'Feel the Game' Game-Used Bat Card

This is a specialized sports collectible card featuring MLB home run record holder Barry Bonds. The card is produced by '23KT Gold Collectibles' and belongs to the 'Feel the Game' series, characterized by its distinctive metallic gold finish and relief sculpting. The primary material is a cardstock base layered with genuine 23-karat gold foil. A key distinguishing feature is the rectangular inset 'relic' located in the center-left, which contains a small wood sliver purported to be from an authentic game-used baseball bat used by Bonds. The card depicts a sculptural image of Bonds in a batting swing stance against a textured gold background. The design includes the embossed text 'FEEL THE GAME' and 'Barry Bonds' alongside an engraved facsimile signature. The card is encased in a professional clear plastic slab from the grading service 'WCG' (World Class Grading). The label identifies the card as '2000 23KT GOLD COLLECTIBLES' and 'GEM-MT 10', which is the highest possible grade, indicating the card is in virtually perfect condition with sharp corners, centered graphics, and no visible surface wear or scratches on the foil. The serial number 61401359 is printed on the label for authentication registry purposes. These types of novelty gold cards were popular late-1990s and early-2000s collectibles, often marketed as limited editions to capitalize on player milestones.
