Disclaimer: Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the award’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness its awarding, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.

This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times.
Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and holographic technologies, including a tamper-resistant OVD hologram.
