Kevin Gowdy 18U National Team Panini USA Baseball 'Game Action' Trading Card

The item is a sports trading card, specifically a baseball card featuring player Kevin Gowdy. The card is oriented vertically and appears to be made of standard card stock, likely with a glossy finish on the front to protect the image and text. The primary image on the card depicts Kevin Gowdy, a baseball pitcher, in the middle of a throwing motion on a pitcher's mound. He is wearing a white USA baseball uniform with 'USA' and the number '21' prominently displayed on the front of his jersey. His cap is dark, and he is wearing a baseball glove on his left hand, suggesting he is right-handed. The background is a blurry representation of a baseball field, likely a stadium. At the top of the card, the text 'GAME ACTION' is visible in a bold, capitalized font, indicating the series or type of card. Below this, on the upper left, there is a shield-shaped logo with '18U' and 'NATIONAL TEAM' written beneath it, signifying his participation in the 18-and-under national team. Along the bottom edge of the card, several key identifiers are present: 'USA BASEBALL' logo on the left, the 'PANINI' logo in the center (identifying the manufacturer), and the player's name, 'KEVIN GOWDY', in clear, capitalized lettering below the Panini logo. The card exhibits sharp printing for both the image and text, with vibrant colors. There are no immediately visible condition issues such as creases, tears, or significant surface wear, suggesting it is in good to excellent condition. The edges appear relatively sharp and corners intact, indicating minimal handling. There are no apparent unique markings beyond the standard manufacturer and player details. The card likely dates from the period when Kevin Gowdy was a member of the 18U National Team, placing its estimated age in the mid-to-late 2010s, given his draft year of 2016. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced trading cards from a reputable manufacturer like Panini.
