This iconic rookie card features Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders mid-action in his Oklahoma State Cowboys uniform. The card's design includes a red border with a grid pattern, the Detroit Lions helmet logo signifying Sanders' first pro team, and a prominent 'Pro Set Prospect No. 1 Pick' badge in green at the bottom right. The background photo style is dynamic, focusing on Sanders evading defenders with motion blur. Card condition appears mint per PSA grading. There are no surface holograms, refractors, or advanced print technology; the finish is classic late-80s matte with bright primary colors. This is one of the seminal rookie cards from the 1989 Pro Set release, which helped usher in the modern football card era by being mass-produced and widely distributed. The card is easily identified by the '494' numbering and the bold 'PRO SET PROSPECT' indicator, marking Sanders' transition to the NFL.
