2013 Panini Elite Frank Gore Football Trading Card

This is a standard-sized 2.5" x 3.5" modern sports trading card featuring Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers. The card is part of the 2013 'Elite' series by Panini. The design features a high-action color photograph of the player in his red home jersey and gold pants, centered against a textured gold background. The layout is bordered by a navy blue and deep burgundy frame with a distinctive metallic flake or 'etched' finish on the outer borders. The 'Elite 2013' logo is prominently placed in the upper left corner, while the player's name and team are displayed in an elegant gold-bordered black box at the bottom. The card is currently housed in a clear protective sleeve and resting on a small wooden display stand. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear and scuffing on the outer plastic sleeve. The card itself shows sharp corners through the plastic, though the top edge shows some minor roughness typical of this specific die-cutting style. The centering appears slightly weighted toward the left. The high-gloss finish and metallic elements are hallmark indicators of Panini’s premium mid-tier production quality from this era.
