Eli Countdown To 1K: 960,961 (A BIG ONE INCLUDED)

I don't want to waste any time with today's Eli Manning countdown because today's included a banger. A card I have dreamed about for quite some time.

Ladies and gentleman, 19 years later....I finally own...

a 2004 Topps Chrome Eli Manning!!!!! Eli number 960. Anybody who has followed me for quite some time knows this card has been one I have been chasing for years. I couldn't ever afford one, nobody seemed to ever have one for trade and it just felt this card was eluding me.

Not anymore!! Thanks to @CardsThings on Twitter for helping me finally land this in our trade.

Also included in our trade,
961:2004 Bowman 1st Edition

And one more card,
 
2013 Prizm Purple Cracked Ice Victor Cruz. A new Cruz to help me extend my big lead already on TCDB.

It was a quick, easy and fun trade and I suggest if you are ever looking for someone easy to deal with, check out @CardsThings.

I can't explain my excitement to be able to hold this card in person. My goal was to find a way to make this card #1,000 but it came before then. I will have to find another card to celebrate the big milestone when the time comes.

More Eli's coming up, and no before you ask, I haven't gotten to 1,000 yet.
