2015 Panini USA Baseball Box Set Tanner Houck Collegiate National Team Die-Cut Trading Card, No. 10

This item is a 2015 Panini USA Baseball Box Set trading card, specifically card number 10, featuring Tanner Houck. The card is die-cut in a distinctive, crown-like shape with a scalloped top edge, mimicking a baseball home plate or a heraldic crest, which is unusual for a standard trading card and indicates a premium or special insert. The primary colors are a deep navy blue and white, with red accents, consistent with USA national team branding. The card displays a dark, textured background, possibly with a subtle diamond or mesh pattern. The front features the 'USA BASEBALL' logo prominently at the top, just below the 'No. 10' designation. Below the logo, the athlete's name, 'TANNER HOUCK,' is displayed in a clear, sans-serif font. The lower portion of the card contains biographical text about Houck's pitching strategy in a game against Cuba on July 1, 2015, mentioning his efficiency and performance. A 'COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM' logo, featuring a baseball shield, is also visible. The reverse side (not fully visible but implied by the text '2015 Panini – USA Baseball Box Set' at the bottom) confirms the manufacturer as Panini. The visible condition appears to be excellent with no obvious signs of significant wear, creases, tears, or fading. The edges are sharp, and the print quality is high, suggesting careful handling. The die-cut shape is a notable feature, indicating a collectible design element. The card's design and content suggest it is from a set focusing on collegiate baseball players within the USA Baseball program, likely issued before their professional careers.
