Taylor Tatum Collegiate Trading Card in the style of Bowman Chrome

This appears to be a modern sports trading card featuring collegiate football player Taylor Tatum, of the University of Oklahoma. The card is designed with a green wave-like refractive foil finish and bears the '1st Bowman' logo in the upper left corner, along with a 'Bowman Chrome' logo in the lower right. The player is depicted in a full-motion action shot wearing a grey and crimson uniform with number 8. The card text identifies the player as 'TAYLOR TATUM' and specifies 'THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA'. Consistent with hobby terminology, this is stylistically consistent with a 'Green Wave' refractor parallel. The card is currently housed in a clear protective hard plastic magnetic holder. User-supplied notes identify this as a '2025 bowman chrome #125', which is consistent with the visual elements, though this specific production year/number and its authenticity remain unverified without physical inspection. The condition seems excellent within the case, showing sharp corners and a clean surface with no obvious scratches or dents visible in the photograph. Identification is based on legible marks and stylistic characteristics inherent to modern collegiate trading cards produced by Fanatics/Topps under the Bowman brand.

Based on my examination of the image provided, this item appears to be a modern collegiate sports trading card. Per the user's submission, it is described as a '2025 Bowman Chrome #125 Taylor Tatum Green Wave' refractor. From what I can see, the card displays a refractive 'Green Wave' foil pattern and bears markings consistent with a '1st Bowman' designation. While the card appears to be in excellent condition within its protective holder, I cannot verify the surface integrity or the legitimacy of the printing from a photograph alone. The valuation assumes the card is a genuine specimen of the referenced parallel. The market for collegiate 'Prospect' cards is highly volatile, driven by the player's on-field performance and the relative rarity of specific foil variations. Green Wave parallels generally occupy a mid-tier collector niche compared to lower-numbered releases. Because I cannot perform a physical inspection to check for micro-scratches or edge wear, this estimate represents a potential range for the card in an 'as-is' secondary market state. To confirm this value, the item would need to be evaluated by a third-party grading service to establish a technical grade and verify the production year and print run. If this item were found to be a reproduction or a common base version lacking the specific refractive finish, the value would likely drop below $5.00. Authenticated, high-grade examples often command a premium over unrefined raw copies.
