Abdul Carter - LB Rated Rookie Donruss Football Card

This is a contemporary Donruss sports trading card featuring Abdul Carter, a Linebacker (LB) for the New York Giants. The card displays the iconic 'Rated Rookie' logo in the bottom left corner, a hallmark of the Donruss brand indicating it is a first-year card for the player. The design features a white card stock with a vibrant blue and white layered border. The center of the card depicts Carter in action, wearing his blue Giants home jersey, white pants, a blue helmet, and red gloves, while carrying a football. In the upper right corner, the 'Donruss D' logo is visible within a silver-bordered square. The New York Giants 'ny' team logo is located at the bottom right. The name 'ABDUL CARTER - LB' is printed at the top. The card is housed in a protective clear plastic sleeve and a top-loader, resting on a stand against a green textured background. Though the card appears to be in near-mint to mint condition with crisp edges and clean surfaces, a formal grading would be required to identify microscopic surface wear or centering deviations. The card represents a subset of the modern era of sports card collecting, characterized by high-gloss finishes and specific rookie branding.
