Relic cards are just being pumped out by the millions today and most, especially made by Panini, are not even player worn probably anymore. You might as well call them manufactured relics.
I miss the old days of relics when they were game worn. Who wants something you can purchase to wear yourself from Fanatics and use it in a relic card? Doesn't seem right.
I try to now-a-days focus on relics that are mainly game used or at least a piece of memorabilia I know the player featured had at least their hands on.
Like today's card.
Right on the front it states Authentic Memorabilia.
And on the back. Except the back says it was from Eli Manning. I assume that means he wore it despite the odd description.
This newest add ranks right up there as one of my favorite Eli Manning relic cards. Of course, anything that involves the Giants Super Bowl wins will.
Thoughts on my latest addition or thoughts on the lack of game used relic cards today is welcomed in comments below.
Maybe Fanatics will fix the game used jersey issue. #fingerscrossed
ReplyDeleteHoping Fanatics doesn't pump out relic cards with their logo as the hit
