1999 Upper Deck SP Authentic Shannon Sharpe Signed Buyback Card #129/554

This is a 1999 Upper Deck SP Authentic football trading card featuring Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe of the Denver Broncos. The card serves as a special 'Buyback' edition, which is a previously released card (specifically a 1995 SP Authentic base card) that has been re-acquired by the manufacturer, signed by the athlete, and hand-numbered before being re-inserted into 1999 packs. The card features a high-action image of Sharpe in his blue and orange Broncos uniform set against a monochromatic stadium background with a large blue '84' outline. Significant markings include a bold blue ink on-card autograph by Shannon Sharpe across the center-left, with his jersey number '82' (incorrectly marked or reflecting an older collegiate/early career number) and a hand-written limited edition serial number '129/554' in the bottom right corner. The card is housed in a clear protective plastic top-loader. The condition appears well-preserved with sharp corners visible through the holder, although some light edge wear characteristic of the foil-heavy SP Authentic brand may be present. The manufacturing hallmarks include the 'SP Authentic' logo at the bottom and the vertical text '1999 UPPER DECK' along the left border, indicating its official release year.
