2010-11 Panini Classics Membership Prime Materials #11 -- Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers, serial numbered 13/49. A three-colour PRIME patch in red, white and blue from a forty-nine copy print run, issued during Griffin\'s first season on the floor.
Set details: 2010-11 Panini Classics, \"Membership Prime Materials\" insert, card #11, serial numbered 13/49 on the back and marked PRIME on the front. Sport: Basketball. League: National Basketball Association (NBA). Manufacturer: Panini America. Original licensed product, printed in the United States.
Memorabilia / certificate: The back reads: \"THE ENCLOSED GAME-WORN SWATCH WAS OBTAINED AND IS GUARANTEED BY PANINI AMERICA, INC.\" Quoted exactly as printed. No third-party grading or certification number; authenticity rests on Panini\'s own guarantee.
Appearance & swatch detail: Raw, not in a holder. The window holds a genuine three-colour prime piece -- red jersey knit meeting a white band and a blue section, with both colour breaks clearly visible inside the window rather than crowded at one edge. Corners are sharp, edges are clean, the surface is free of creasing or scratching, and centring is good front and back. One note on the design: the 10-11 Classics front is printed with a deliberately aged, faintly mottled cream texture. That is how the card was manufactured, not handling wear, and it appears on every copy.
Worth knowing: Serial 13/49 verified against the card in hand. Please note this is not a rookie card -- Griffin\'s rookie cards are 2009-10 issues, since he missed that entire season through injury. This card is from 2010-11, his first season actually played, and the year he won Rookie of the Year and the Slam Dunk Contest. Stating that plainly here rather than letting the listing imply otherwise.
Player career: Griffin was the first overall pick in the 2009 draft out of Oklahoma. He won Rookie of the Year and the Slam Dunk Contest in 2011, made six All-Star teams and five All-NBA teams, and averaged more than 21 points a game across his five full seasons with the Clippers as the centrepiece of the Lob City era, later playing for Detroit, Brooklyn and Boston.
Condition described honestly and as accurately as possible from close examination of the actual card. I am not a professional grader and make no claim about what this would receive on a professional grading scale. The scans accompanying this listing are of the actual card, front and back -- what you see is what you will receive.
