Winning Monday Showoff

We won!! We actually won in dominating fashion.

Yesterday, the Gmen came to play forcing 6 turnovers, having an undrafted rookie QB throw for close to 250 yards and Saquon playing like his old self.

For all of those fans that think tanking was a thing, I am all about the win and that was a great one. The Giants are only 3-8, but a playoff run could still happen but still very unlikely with their upcoming schedule.

With a winning Sunday, let's show off a card to celebrate.

Which is a new addition to my Amani Toomer collection.

2001 Ultra College Greats Preview autograph.

This is one of three of the College Greats preview cards in the set. The other two is a base version and a redemption version.

I will hopefully add the other two at some point.

Not sure if one card makes me any closer on the list on TCDB to the top for Toomer or not, will find out in a minute when I add it. 

As always, I am trading for new Toomers and there are plenty out there! If you have any, contact me at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com!

The Latest Eli's

I have been on an Eli buying rampage recently.

Any card that features Eli, catches my eye and fits into my very small budget, I will grab it.

Like this Eli that features the 1995 Finest design. I really like these. I have three I believe out of the rainbow...which I am not chasing.

This NFL Legends Rookie was under $5. Steal!

I usually only chase plain relic cards if they have an interesting design, like this one.

And this relic. Panini doesn't do it like this anymore.

Also grabbed this trio for under $6 as well.

My favorite relic pickup recently was this /50 Sunday Showdown dual patch card. Yes, these are patch swatches.

The next relic was like $3 for this Ultra Stars. It's plain all around, but for the price I had to snag it.

And the final card, another rookie card under $2.

In comments today, let me know your favorite card of the group today and if you buy relic cards for your PC player.

Eli's Cardboard:2006 Fleer Ultra Platinum Medallion

It has been a while since I have posted any of my new Eli Manning mail days and updated my Eli Manning PC numbers. Life has gotten in the way and when that happens, the hobby gets pushed aside.

Always remember, this is just a hobby. It's not life. Family always comes first.

Today's card I was hoping to finally publish on here since it was given to me, and I believe in a proper thank you.

@roroweber1 on Twitter has been posting his collection of mind-blowing cards, I am talking 90's rare cards such as a Brett Favre 1997 Fleer Metal Universe Green PMG, and I love to interact with him about them. One day he noticed I collected Eli Manning and threw today's beauty out there since it was a card he owned. I inquired about a trade, but I didn't have quite what he was looking for.

It didn't matter it seemed as he felt this card needed to be in my collection somehow, some way and sent it to me.

This is a 2006 Fleer Ultra Platinum Parallel /99.

 \

It's the first Platinum Parallel I have of Eli in my collection and jumps into my Top 10 favorite Eli Manning cards easily.

Now, this card isn't as rare as the 90's Platinum were, but it's still not an easy one to find.

Thanks again to @roroweber1 for his incredible gift of kindness. If you are not following him yet on Twitter, do so. His collection is one of a kind I promise you that.

Kerry's Cardboard:2003 Fleer Ultra Platinum Medallion /100

We go from one former NY Giants QB yesterday, to another former one today in the newest Kerry's Cardboard addition.

I have Kerry Collins as a saved search on eBay so I can keep track of cool cards and watch them when I see them. I don't always have the funding to grab them, but when I do, I try to add the toughest ones first.

Today's card is a Platinum Medallion. There were no odds on these back in 2003 Fleer Ultra, but they are numbered to 100 so they are not easy to find. Just like any of the Ultra Platinum Medallions throughout the years.

The front of the card has a silver/platinum tint to it.

 

The back is numbered to 100 and has the words Platinum Medallion. Wouldn't it be nice if some of today's products listed what they actually are? Especially Mosiac. Some of those parallels are really hard to tell.

This is so far the only Platinum Medallion I own of Kerry. I will need to chase the others down at some point.

In comments today, let me know your best Platinum Medallion you own!
