1996 Upper Deck SP Football Tony Martin #136

This is a 1996 Upper Deck SP series trading card featuring wide receiver Tony Martin of the San Diego Chargers. The card utilizes a premium design characteristic of the mid-90s SP line, featuring a mix of matte and holographic/foil finishes. The top sections display a color action photograph of Martin in his navy and gold Chargers uniform holding a football, while the bottom section features a specialized silver-foil die-cut style insert aesthetic with a secondary monochromatic image. Centrally, the card features an embossed 'SP' logo inside a stadium-shaped silver foil graphic. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from heavy cardstock with a gloss coating. Regarding condition, the top edge appears to show some mild silvering or chipping, a common defect for foil-heavy cards from this era. The corners show slight softening, particularly the bottom left as viewed. There are no obvious diagonal creases or surface indentations visible through the protective sleeve. The player's name 'Tony Martin' and position 'WR' are printed in a stylized sans-serif font along with his jersey number '81'.
