2008 Topps Chrome David Tyree Chase

I have many searches on eBay, some are for higher end material, some for in-between and some that many people don't think twice about.

David Tyree fits that final part.

One of my favorite David Tyree cards is the 2008 Topps Chrome that features the greatest play in Super Bowl history and I have been chasing it and the parallels from it ever since I saw it.

Recently I was finally able to add to it when this X-Factor popped up for under $3. Most of the X-Factors are listed on eBay for $12 each so I let them sit there in hopes for a cheaper deal. My cheaper deal arrived and paid off.

This one now goes with the rest of these,

Base

Refractor

Copper

Blue

And all of them together right now,

 

Nice!! Right?

There are still plenty of parallels to chase of this card but once again I will wait for the actual deals before I would ever jump.

If you have one I don't, let's talk trade at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

Thoughts on this chase and what play you consider the greatest play in Super Bowl history in comments below!

Absolute Steal In My Mind

The Gmen are 6-1!! 6-1!!!!

Yes, you read that right and I typed it right. The 2022 NY Giants are 6-1 after beating the Jaguars yesterday 23-17.  This team continues to find ways to win and this is their best start since 2008. 

That's many years ago.

The card I am showing off today is a player on that 2008 team and a name that most know because of the big Super Bowl play known as the Helmet Catch.

David Tyree was a 6th round draft pick in 2003, All-Pro and Pro Bowl special teams player, and of course the big play in the Super Bowl. He played for the Giants from 2003-2008.

 

In the last few years, he has signed more autographs than he had in previous years. Despite that, prices for his autographs go for more than you would expect.

 

When I found one for $2, I wasn't turning that down.

This marks only my second autograph of the Super Bowl champ. I have actually been keeping track of my collection of him over at Trading Card Database.  When I get the rest entered, I will update where I stand.

Single Card Mail Day:2008 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor David Tyree

What can I say, I am addicted to showing off and adding Super Bowl cards from Super Bowls 42 and 46.

I have actually found myself liking one card in particular.

The 2008 Super Bowl 42 subset card of David Tyree shows off the same image we have seen over and over and over again.

But Topps Chrome just makes it look better. Especially when it's a team color refractor match.

 

Here is the back of the card.

I have actually made somewhat of a small run on these. I have the base, base refractor, bronze and now this one. I would love to add the Xfactor on eBay next.

Taking As Many As I Can

Do you have a card that you don't care how many copies of it you get? Your answer would surprise me if you didn't.

Other than taking in as many copies of the 1990 Score and Topps Rodney Hampton rookie cards I can, I am quite fond of anything that features the NY Giants and Super Bowl 42.

Especially a photograph that depicts the greatest play in Super Bowl history.

 

The acrobatic helmet catch has got to be the greatest catch in the history of football. If you just think about some special team guy who rarely saw a ball thrown his way, go up against a guy who should be in the Hall Of Fame and being able to keep the ball caught against his helmet with that caliber type of player pulling all he can to strip the ball and finishing the catch. 

That's incredible.

Super Bowl 42 was incredible.

Give me as many cards like this you want. I won't turn any away.

Thanks for my latest one @ShaneSalmonson.

Let me know in comments any cards you have multiple copies of and why.
