This item is a 2015 Panini USA Baseball Box Set trading card, specifically card number 5, featuring the player Bobby Dalbec. The card is unique in its die-cut, irregular shape, resembling the top portion of a baseball bat or a stylized crest, rather than a traditional rectangular card. It measures approximately 6 inches in height and 3.5 inches at its widest point. The card is printed on a sturdy card stock, likely with a glossy finish to enhance the visual elements. The primary color scheme is dark blue with white and red accents, consistent with USA Baseball branding. The front of the card, though not fully visible, likely displays an image of Bobby Dalbec. The reverse side, which is visible, provides a biographical description of Dalbec's early baseball career, highlighting his performance with 15 home runs as a sophomore in Arizona in 2015 and his contributions to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. Key printing details are present, confirming its authenticity and limited edition status. It features the 'USA Baseball' logo at the top with 'No. 5' indicated below. Below the player's name, 'BOBBY DALBEC,' is the biographical text. A prominent 'COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM' logo is displayed beneath the text, followed by the 'PANINI' logo. The card's limited edition status is clearly marked as '24/99,' indicating it is the 24th card out of a total of 99 produced for this set.
