Presidential Archive John Adams Historic Relic Trading Card
This is a collectible 'Historic Relic' trading card from the Presidential Archive series, featuring John Adams, the second President of the United States. The item is securely stored in a professional-grade clear acrylic protective slab or magnetic card holder, which is nested within a custom red presentation box with a white foam insert. The card itself features a background design of an aged American flag. The most prominent feature is an inlaid physical relic, which appears to be a small rectangular snippet of parchment or antique paper with visible cursive or printed text (partially in what looks like Latin or early Spanish). To the right of the relic is an oval-framed portrait of John Adams, and his gold-foil signature is replicated across the bottom. The top portion of the card is inscribed with the text 'HISTORIC RELIC HANDLED BY THE PRESIDENT.' Physically, the card displays gold foil accents along the corners and borders. The condition appears to be 'Mint' or 'Near Mint' as it is encased, showing no visible edge wear or surface scratching on the card itself, though the outer relic snippet naturally shows yellowing and foxing consistent with historical paper. This modern collectible is designed for high-end numismatic or political memorabilia markets, likely produced within the last 10-15 years to commemorate colonial-era figures through fragmented historical documents.
