2013 Panini Elite Football Colin Kaepernick Trading Card

This is a 2013 Panini Elite Series football trading card featuring quarterback Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers. The card depicts Kaepernick in his red home jersey with number 7, gold pants, and a chrome-style helmet, captured in an action pose holding a football. The card design features a distinctive brushed-metal aesthetic on the outer border with an inner gold-toned rectangular frame surrounding the player. The 'Elite' logo with the year 2013 is positioned in the upper left corner, and the player's name and team are printed in a black and gold box at the bottom. Physically, the card appears to be standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches on high-gloss cardstock with premium foil finishes. Regarding condition, there is visible edge wear, particularly along the top and right side, where the dark foil surface shows some chipping or 'whitening.' The corners appear slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, which is common for this high-gloss set. The surface shows some light reflections which might obscure fine scratches, but the centering appears relatively balanced horizontally. This card captures Kaepernick during a significant period in his athletic career following his Super Bowl XLVII appearance.
