2017 Panini USA Baseball Hunter Greene Game-Worn Fabric Relic Card

This item is a 2017 Panini USA Baseball trading card featuring Hunter Greene. The card is rectangular, approximately 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall, made of card stock. The primary design elements include a large image of Hunter Greene in a batting stance on the right side, wearing a white USA Baseball uniform with a dark helmet and black socks. The left portion of the card features a 'game-worn' or 'event-worn' fabric swatch, which is a significant distinguishing feature. This swatch is a vibrant red, made of a meshed or perforated athletic fabric, and is presented in an irregular, somewhat geometric shape, cut out and embedded into the card. The texture of the fabric swatch is clearly visible, showing a consistent pattern of small holes, indicative of a sports jersey or uniform material. The top left of the card prominently displays the 'USA Baseball' logo, while 'PANINI' is printed at the top center. Along the left edge, vertically oriented, is the name 'HUNTER GREENE' in white lettering on a dark blue background. Near the bottom left, there is a small emblem with '18U' inscribed, suggesting the age group or team affiliation for which the swatch material was used. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with sharp corners and no visible creases, tears, or significant surface wear. The card's surface has a slight sheen, typical of modern trading cards. The craftsmanship is high, with clean cuts for the fabric swatch integration and clear printing. This type of card is often produced in limited quantities, adding to its collectibility. Given the 'USA Baseball' and 'Panini' branding, it's definitively a contemporary piece, likely produced in or around 2017 when Panini held the licensing for USA Baseball products.
