Patrick Surtain II Panini Contenders Football Season Ticket Trading Card

This item is a Panini Contenders 'Season Ticket' football trading card featuring Patrick Surtain II, a cornerback for the Denver Broncos. The card's design mimics a stadium ticket, with a prominent image of Surtain II in his white Broncos uniform with the number '2' visible. The uniform features orange accents on the sleeves. The card is predominantly white, grey, and blue, incorporating the Broncos' team colors. The left side of the card, designed to resemble a ticket stub, includes details such as 'PANINI CONTENDERS FOOTBALL', 'SEASON TICKET', 'PATRICK SURTAIN II', 'CORNERBACK', and the Denver Broncos logo and name. At the bottom, 'SEC. 208', 'ROW 62', and 'SEAT 2' are printed, further reinforcing the ticket motif. The card appears to be in good overall condition with no obvious creases, tears, or significant surface damage visible in the provided image. The edges and corners seem sharp, indicating minimal handling wear. The surface appears to have a slight sheen, typical of modern trading cards, possibly an issue of the Panini Contenders series, which is known for its college and professional football player cards. This card represents a player from a relatively recent era, suggesting it's likely a modern collectible, possibly from the early 2020s given Patrick Surtain II's draft year.

I have examined the provided image of the Patrick Surtain II Panini Contenders Football Season Ticket Trading Card. Based on this visual inspection, the card appears to be in excellent condition. There are no readily apparent creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions. The edges and corners appear sharp, suggesting minimal handling wear. The card’s design is consistent with the Panini Contenders 'Season Ticket' series, and the imagery and text align with known examples for Patrick Surtain II. Market conditions for modern football trading cards, particularly those of promising young players like Patrick Surtain II, are generally stable, though subject to player performance. The 'Season Ticket' insert is not typically ultra-rare, but it is a popular set. Demand for top-tier cornerbacks is present, but generally not as high as for quarterbacks or wide receivers. Comparables for non-autographed, non-numbered base inserts of Surtain II from the Contenders series typically range modestly. Factors negatively impacting value include it being a relatively common insert and the absence of an autograph or serial numbering. It is crucial to state that full authenticity cannot be definitively verified from an image alone. Without physical inspection, I cannot account for micro-surface scratches, print defects not visible in the image, or potential alterations. True authenticity would require in-hand examination to verify card stock, print quality, and holographic elements (if present on the reverse, which is not depicted). Provenance documentation from point of sale could further corroborate legitimacy.
