Single Card Mail Day: 2012 Fleer Retro Metal Blue PMG

There is just something so catchy with Upper Deck's version of the Precious Metal Gem that it makes me happy.

Not as happy as owning an original one, but still pretty happy.

One of the cards I have been chasing down the most from Upper Deck's PMG's other than the Marvel ones, is the blue PMG of Ruben Randle from the 2012 Fleer Retro product, Randle's rookie year.

It has eluded me multiple times, but finally, finally, it landed into my hands.

 

Isn't it pretty???!

 

It's also numbered to 50.

So far, I have the red and now the blue PMG of Rueben. I am still in need of the Green. Not sure if there is another after that or not. I see two on eBay and the cheapest being $149. Way out of my range.

At least I have the two I wanted most, and this card will add to my already huge lead of Randle on TCDB.

As The Season Draws Near....

 As football season finally is coming, I get more amped about adding new Giants cards to my collection.

Like this NEW Rueben Randle Bowman Chrome Blue refractor.

 

Or my first Hodgins Giants autograph. I do have other Hodgins autograph cards, but this is my first Giants one. He only has two Giants autographs that I am aware of. This one and a Panini Instant playoff card from last year. I really like him as a player so hoping he can step it up again like last year and hopefully gets some playing time with a somewhat loaded Giants WR core.

 

And other than Saquon, this guy will be the main reason the Giants offense will thrive if it does. He is such a massive weapon for Daniel Jones and they have been dangerous so far in camp. Hopefully that translates to the season as well.

Thoughts on my latest pickups welcomed in comments!
