2024-25 Topps Basketball Kon Knueppel Rookie Card

This is a modern basketball trading card featuring Kon Knueppel of the Charlotte Hornets. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is printed on standard cardstock with a glossy finish. It utilizes a retro-inspired design reminiscent of early 1970s Topps issues, characterized by multi-colored arched piping and a clean white border. The center image depicts Knueppel in a Charlotte Hornets teal jersey with the number '7', frozen in a shooting motion with a Wilson basketball overhead. Notable markings include the classic 'Topps' brand logo in the upper left corner, and a red hexagonal 'RC' (Rookie Card) shield directly below it. The player's name, 'KON KNUEPPEL', is printed in white sans-serif font against a black bar at the bottom, accompanied by the Charlotte Hornets secondary logo to the left. Condition-wise, the card is housed in a clear protective top-loader. Visible assessment suggests relatively sharp corners and clean edges, though minor surface scuffs on the plastic holder may obscure fine surface details of the card itself. Centrality appears slightly biased toward the right border. This item represents a 'base' rookie card from the 2024-25 Topps basketball set, marking a return of the brand to NBA-licensed style products, though technically released as a collegiate or unlicensed 'pre-pro' style set depending on specific licensing agreements for this year.
