Rick Upchurch 2022 Donruss Retro Series NFL Trading Card

This is a modern Donruss trading card featuring retired Denver Broncos Wide Receiver and return specialist Rick Upchurch. The card utilizes a 'Retro Series' design that pays homage to classic early 1980s Donruss aesthetics, specifically the 1981-1982 layout with bold blue and white borders and diagonal orange striping. The central image depicts Upchurch in full 1970s/80s Broncos 'Orange Crush' era away uniform, including the classic 'D' logo blue helmet, while running with a football. The card is standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and is constructed from modern high-gloss cardstock with sharp white borders. The Donruss 'd' logo is prominently featured in the lower-right corner. Regarding condition, the card appears to be in Near Mint to Mint state, currently protected by a clear plastic penny sleeve and top loader. The centering looks relatively balanced, and the corners, as seen through the protective sleeve, appear sharp and factory-cut without visible fraying or whitening. There is no evidence of surface scratching or creasing. This specific card is a tribute piece from a contemporary set rather than a vintage late-career original, combining a high-quality modern print finish with historical player imagery.
