Sports Illustrated Kids May 2017 Card Sheet

This is a perforated nine-card sheet from the 'Sports Illustrated Kids' magazine edition of May 2017. The sheet features a diverse range of professional and collegiate athletes including Mike Trout (Baseball), Saquon Barkley (College Football), Mikaela Shiffrin (Skiing), and Romelu Lukaku (Soccer), among others. Each card is standard trading card size (approx. 2.5 x 3.5 inches) once separated, though these remain in their original unseparated sheet format. The visual design includes bold color-coded footer bars (blue and red) with 'Sports Illustrated Kids' branding in the top corners and the athlete's name and team/affiliation at the bottom. The printing is on a lightweight, semi-glossy cardstock consistent with magazine inserts rather than high-end premium trading card stock. The sheet appears to be in good condition, housed within a protective plastic binder sleeve, which has preserved the integrity of the perforated edges. There are no obvious signs of surface ink loss, heavy creasing, or moisture damage, though minor corner softening may be present typical of age. These cards are unique for featuring star athletes in their early careers side-by-side with niche sports figures.
