A treasure that transcends the gridiron, this card captures the essence of a player who left an indelible mark both on and off the field. Card History: As a graduate of Auburn University and native of Charlotte, back in 2011 I was trying to get my hands on anything related to Cam Newton and collected a great deal of rookie cards from some amazing players that year: Cam, Von Miller, A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, J.J. Watt, Cam Jordan, and also this card of Colin Kaepernick. Card has been stored in temperature-controlled home since. The photos you see of the card outside its sleeve are shots I took before sending it off to Beckett to get graded. I wanted you to be able to see it naked before Beckett preserved it into the slab. Card Highlights:Autographed Rookie Card: Hard-signed by Kaepernick, it’s not just a card; it’s a personal touch from the quarterback himself.Black Refractor Parallel: With only 25 in existence, this black-bordered beauty is as exclusive as it gets, mirroring the depth of Kaepernick’s impact.
