2005 Donruss Rookies & Stars Frank Gore Rookie Card #181

This is a 2005 Donruss Rookies & Stars football card featuring Frank Gore, a legendary running back for the San Francisco 49ers. The card depicts Gore in a running action pose wearing his classic red and gold 49ers uniform. The design features a crisp white background with a modern, angular frame framing the central image. The top left corner displays the oval 'SF' 49ers logo, while the top right corner features the 'R&S' (Rookies & Stars) series logo. The player's name, 'FRANK GORE', is printed vertically on the lower left side, adjacent to the series name. The card is standard playing card size and appears to be constructed of high-quality gloss-coated cardstock. In terms of condition, the card is housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve (penny sleeve) and a top loader, which has preserved its integrity. The centering appears slightly shifted but generally within acceptable tolerances for the era. The corners and edges look sharp through the plastic, with no immediate signs of creasing or surface scratching. As a rookie year card for a player who ended his career as the NFL's third all-time leading rusher, this serves as a significant piece of modern sports memorabilia. The silver foil accents on the logos indicate a premium manufacturing process typical of Mid-2000s Donruss products.
