Joe Mixon 2021 Panini Donruss Gold Press Proof Game-Used Ball Relic #71/145

This is a 2021 Panini Donruss Joe Mixon football card featuring a Gold Press Proof parallel design and an encapsulated game-used ball relic. The card is standard size, constructed from high-quality cardstock with a vibrant metallic gold foil finish that exhibits a light-refracting holographic sheen. The front showcases Mixon in his Cincinnati Bengals uniform, with the team's 'B' logo in the lower left. A distinctive feature is the die-cut window displaying a brown, textured piece of an authentic game-used football, labeled 'GAME USED BALL' and noting the specific game usage 'JAX VS HOU' dated '12/1/24'. The card is individually numbered '11 / 145' in red foil on the left margin, indicating limited production. The 'PRESS PROOF' designation is prominently displayed at the bottom above Mixon's name and position. Currently housed in a protective clear plastic 'One-Touch' magnetic holder, the card appears to be in excellent condition with sharp corners and clean edges visible through the case. As a modern sports collectible, it represents a high-end relic insert combining limited numbering with game-authentic materials, highly valued by Bengals fans and player-specific collectors.
