LaDainian Tomlinson Select Horned Frogs Football Card

This item is a modern sports trading card, specifically featuring NFL Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson during his collegiate career, identified as a 'Horned Frog' (referring to the TCU Horned Frogs). The card is from the 'Select' series, indicated by the prominent 'Select' logo at the top center. The overall design features a vibrant, multi-layered background with a purplish-blue and goldish-tan/bronze color scheme. The central image depicts LaDainian Tomlinson in a dynamic action pose, running with a football tucked in his arm, wearing a purple jersey with the number '5' clearly visible, light blue pants, and a dark helmet. The main portion of the card has a glossy, possibly holographic or Prizm-like finish, which contributes to its reflective quality and creates a sense of depth and shimmer. The card appears to be in good condition, housed within a clear plastic protective sleeve, suggesting careful handling and preservation. No significant visible wear, creases, or surface imperfections are immediately apparent through the sleeve. The borders are well-defined, and the color registration seems accurate. The card likely dates from the 21st century, given the modern design aesthetics and the 'Select' brand, which typically produces contemporary sports cards. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard trading card quality, with clear printing and precise die-cut edges. The overall presentation indicates a collectible item. The specific year of manufacture would need to be identified from the card's reverse or by cross-referencing the player's college career and the 'Select' set releases.
