2002 Upper Deck Graded Marquise Walker Making the Grade RC Gold #199 - PSA 9 MINT

This is a professionaly graded 2002 Upper Deck (U.D.) Graded football card featuring wide receiver Marquise Walker of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The card belongs to the 'Making the Grade' rookie subset and is the rare 'Gold' parallel version. It is officially numbered 199 in the set and features a limited print run, specifically hand-numbered '65/75' in the bottom right corner. The card includes a prominent blue ink sticker autograph applied to the center of the card front. The design features a sepia-toned sunburst background behind an image of Walker in his Buccaneers jersey. The card is encased in a tamper-evident PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) plastic holder with a certification label at the top. The label indicates a grade of MINT 9, suggesting nearly perfect preservation with sharp corners, very minor surface imperfections, and excellent centering. The certification number on the label is 81161522. The slab appears clear and free of significant scuffing or cracks, preserving the high-quality card stock and reflective gold-foil accents characteristic of premium Upper Deck releases from the early 2000s.
