Signed 1989 Pro Set Troy Aikman Rookie Trading Card Plaque

This item is a 1989 Pro Set NFL trading card featuring Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, positioned as his rookie year release. The card is presented in a hard plastic screw-down protector that has been surface-mounted to a decorative plaque. The plaque features a dark, textured charcoal or slate-like finish with a silver-tone nameplate at the bottom reading 'TROY AIKMAN'. The card itself displays Aikman in a navy blue Cowboys jersey and silver helmet, typical of early 1990s photography. Notably, the card appears to bear a blue ink signature across the mid-section, though its authenticity has not been verified by a third-party service here. The physical condition shows signs of age; the screw-down holder exhibits surface scratching and dust accumulation around the edges, and the screws show minor oxidation. The plaque's edges show slight wear, characteristic of long-term display. As a Pro Set issue, this represents a mass-produced era of sports cards but gains significant interest due to its subject matter and the added signature. The construction is a standard hobbyist presentation style from the late 20th century.
