2013 Score Quinton Patton Rookie Card #381

This is a 2013 Score football trading card featuring Quinton Patton, identified as a rookie wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. The card follows a standard modern stock construction with a glossed finish and a high-contrast green border characteristic of the 2013 Score base set design. The front presents a tight close-up action photograph of Patton wearing eye black, with his name printed in yellow at the bottom left and a gold 49ers helmet logo at the bottom right. The top header displays the 'Score' brand logo alongside '2013 * ROOKIE' in blue and red text. In terms of condition, the corners appear relatively sharp with minimal white chipping visible on the green edges, though there is a Slight edge wear on the left side. The centering seems slightly heavy toward the right margin. The card is presented on a black display stand against a green textured background, suggesting a collector or hobbyist setting. This represents card number 381 from the Panini-produced Score set, a foundational product for entry-level football card collectors from that era.

I have examined the 2013 Score Quinton Patton Rookie Card #381. This card is a base rookie card from a high-volume, entry-level set produced by Panini. Upon visual inspection of the digital images, the card presents in 'Near Mint' condition. The green borders are particularly prone to edge chipping, though this specimen remains relatively clean. I did observe a minor centering shift toward the right-hand margin and slight silvering on the left edge. The surface gloss appears consistent with authentic 2013 Score stock. Regarding market conditions, the demand for Quinton Patton remains low as he is no longer active in the NFL and did not achieve 'star' status during his tenure with the 49ers. As a common base rookie card in a non-premium set, availability is high and rarity is non-existent. Recent comparable sales for unassigned, raw base cards of this era typically hover around the minimum shipping cost. While the card appears authentic based on the typography, gloss, and logo placement, a definitive authentication would requires physical inspection to verify stock thickness, UV fluorescence, and the absence of digital printing artifacts. In-person examination would also be required to detect any surface indentations or micro-creasing not visible in the current lighting. However, given the low market value, the cost of professional grading or further scientific authentication would significantly exceed the value of the card itself.
