Emeka Egbuka Donruss Rated Rookie Trading Card

This is a modern American football trading card featuring wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, published by Panini under the Donruss brand. The card is designed with the iconic 'Rated Rookie' logo in the bottom-left corner, set against a classic blue and white bordered frame. The card depicts the athlete in a white, red, and pewter uniform associated with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, carrying the number 9. It is constructed from a standard medium-weight cardstock with a semi-gloss finish. The graphic layout includes high-contrast elements and the Donruss 'D' logo in the top right. This particular specimen is housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve or top-loader, intended for preservation. Notably, the athlete featured, Emeka Egbuka, chose to return to Ohio State for the 2024 season, making cards depicting him in professional uniforms like this one examples of 'prospecting' cards often found in collegiate or unlicensed sets before official NFL league-licensed releases. The card appears to be in excellent raw condition with crisp corners and clean edges visible through the protective casing, though centering and surface scratches can only be fully assessed under magnification. It represents the modern era of sports collectible manufacturing with digital printing and stylized graphic borders.
