The card's design suggests a 'Stars & Stripes' theme, evident from the red and white striped border on all four sides of the card face, which also has a holographic or rainbow foil finish, reflecting light in a spectrum of colors. A thin blue line frames the central image of the player within this striped border. The player, Jack Payton, is depicted in a baseball catcher's stance, wearing full catcher's gear including a helmet, chest protector, and shin guards.
