Bowman Chrome style University of Minnesota sports trading card featuring Koi Perich

This item appears to be a modern sports trading card, stylistically consistent with the Bowman Chrome University football series. The card features a central photographic image of a player identified by the text as 'KOI PERICH' in a 'University of Minnesota' football uniform, wearing the number 3. The card bears a 'Bowman Chrome' logo in the upper left corner and the 'University of Minnesota' block text in the upper right. The background has a metallic, orange-to-gold gradient finish typical of high-end chrome-style cards. The owner has identified this as a '2025 bowman NO.55AV-18'; however, the back of the card is not visible to verify these specific cataloging details or the serial number. The card is currently housed in a clear protective hard-plastic case, known as a 'one-touch' magnetic holder, which appears to be in good condition. The card itself shows sharp corners and clean edges through the casing, though physical inspection would be required to rule out surface scratches or manufacturing defects not visible in the photograph. The attribution to the 2025 Bowman set is based on the visible branding and user-supplied notes, which remain unverified without physical examination.

Based on the provided imagery, the item presents as a modern chrome-finish sports card featuring Koi Perich in University of Minnesota attire, bearing branding consistent with the Bowman Chrome University line. Per user submission, this is identified as a 2025 Bowman No. 55AV-18. While I can observe a 'Bowman Chrome' logo and high-quality refractive surfaces typical of a limited-edition 'Refractor' or 'Gold' parallel, I cannot verify the specific serial numbering or the card's back without further documentation. The card appears well-centered with sharp corners through its protective 'one-touch' holder, but I would need a physical inspection to rule out surface scratches or manufacturing dimples that are often invisible in photographs. This valuation assumes the card is a legitimate issue from the stated set; if it were determined to be a custom 'art card' or unofficial reproduction, the value would likely drop to a nominal $5-$10 range. The market for collegiate-themed chrome cards is currently driven by prospect hype and scarcity parallels. My estimate reflects the typical market behavior for high-end parallels of top-tier defensive prospects in similar modern sets. To establish a more precise value, I would require an in-person examination to verify the refractive pattern and an inspection of the reverse side to confirm the specific parallel's print run. Additionally, professional third-party grading would be necessary to reach the upper end of the value spectrum, as slight condition flaws can significantly impact the marketability of chrome-surface assets.
