2017 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes Brandon McCabe Autograph Relic Card

This item is a 2017 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes Brandon McCabe Autograph Relic Card. The card features a primary color scheme of white, red, and blue, consistent with the USA Baseball theme. The left side of the card has a diagonal red stripe with the 'PANINI' logo printed vertically in white. Above this, in the upper left corner, is a small shield-shaped emblem with '17U' (likely indicating the age group or series) and what appears to be a baseball motif. A key feature of this card is the rectangular cutout in the upper left-center, which contains a piece of what appears to be a black fabric relic, likely a 'game-used' or player-worn swatch, embedded within the card. The relic piece is bordered by a thin red line, complementing the card's design. The main visual element is a dynamic action shot of Brandon McCabe, a baseball player, depicted in uniform, presumably on the field, though only his upper torso is visible. Below the player's image, the background transitions into a stylized American flag, with red and white stripes and a partial blue field. To the right of the player's image and relic, a rectangular 'patch' of what looks like semi-glossy cardstock or a sticker in an off-white/light green hue is affixed, bearing a bold, blue ink autograph that reads 'B. McCabe' (Brandon McCabe). Below this autograph, vertically oriented, is the printed name 'BRANDON McCABE'. The card stock appears to be in excellent condition with sharp corners and no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, indicating careful handling. The autograph is clear and well-preserved. This card is a modern collectible, specifically from 2017, placing it in the contemporary era of sports trading cards. The combination of an autograph and a game-used relic makes it a highly desirable piece for collectors.
