Tons Of Football Inserts For Trade!!! Part 2

This is part 2 of a butt load of football inserts I have or trade, part 1 can be found here.  As always let me know if you like anything.  A few of the cards here are not inserts, but they are short prints.  Most of the cards pictured are serial numbered.

Tons Of Football Inserts For Trade!!!

Getting ready for the Superbowl, I thought why not try to set up some football trades.  I have scanned in about a billion insert cards, and will post them over the next day or two.  I also have a lot inserts and base cards that  I did not scan, so if you are collecting a player let me know and I might have some for you!  Most of these cards are serial numbered.  Let me know if you see anything you like!

A Few Randoms Cards To Trade

Hey there sports fans, I have scanned a few random cards to trade.  If you are interested, contact me and we can work something out.  Even though it is tough to see, the Moments and Milestones Ichiro is #'d out of 25.

Part 1 Of 2 Complete In The Quest For 24 Derrick Mason Patches part 3

Well, here we are at part 3 of my patch exhibition!  Part 1 can be seen here.  Part 2 can be seen here. You have seen 12 of them, here are a few more:

Patch 13 is a 2010 Absolute Memorabilia Trios, coming complete with patches of Derricks offensive buddies Ray Rice and Willis McGahee.  It is numbered 15/25.

Patches 14 and 15 are 2008 Leaf Limited.  I think I used to have a third copy of this card that I may have traded away Possibly to Beardy, but I really am not sure).  These two are numbered 77 and 20/85.

Patch 16 is a 2009 Donruss Threads card numbered 27/50.  I think that the patch blends in really nice with the design of the card, so much so that you almost need a second take to see it.

The last card I will share in this post is a 2008 Donruss Threads patch numbered 36/50.

See you next time!

Part 1 Of 2 Complete In The Quest for 24 Derrick Mason Patches Part 2

This is the second part of my little game of Derrick Mason 24 Patch card show and tell.  Part one can be seen here.  Without further delay, here we go:

Patch 8 is a terrible scan of a beautiful card.  It is a 2008 Leaf Limited card featuring a rare cut of the stripe on the sleeve that often houses the elastic that keeps the sleeves tight for the receivers. This card is 2/50.

Patch 9 is one of my favorites.  It is a 2009 Donruss Elite Chain Reaction card.  I love this card because its window shows a sexy piece of the Maryland/Ravens seal patch.  It is serial numbered 21/50

 

 

 

Patches 10, 11, and 12 are all 2009 Absolute Memorabilia Absolute Heroes cards.  They are serial numbered 8, 46, and 15/50 respectively.  This a second card which I officially own 6% of the total print run of this card!

 Half way there, more to come....

Part 1 Of 2 Complete in the Quest for 24 Derrick Mason Patches part 1

Well, I did it...kind of.  I reached a total of 24 Derrick Mason patches.  That is part 1 of my quest.  Part 2 is to have 24 unique patches,  I am close but not quite there yet.  So to spare you a ridiculously long post, I will show apll of them to you in a series of posts, this being the first.  Feast your eyes...

Patch 1 a 2005 Playoff Prestige Gridiron Heritage card, featuring Derrick as a Tennessee Titan. 

Patch 2 is also a 2005 Playoff Prestige Gridiron Heritage card, featuring Derrick as a Tennessee Titan.  This patch is distinctly different in color than the other.

Patch 3 is a 2006 Leaf Rookies and Stars Standing Ovation patch serial #'d 11/25

Patch 4 is a 2001 Prism Atomic patch from Derricks Tennessee days.

  

Patches 5, 6, and 7 are all 2009 Donruss Classics Monday Night Heroes.  They are serial numbered 18, 20, and 14/50 respectively.  I officially own 6% of the total print run of this card!

Birds In The Box, And Maybe Two Dozen?

Although card money has been scarce recently, I have been able to sneak few cards on the cheap out of Ebay.  I really don't love the fact that any Cowboy worth buying is to pricey for come auction closing time, but so be it.  I have had much success in shopping the auctions for Ravens, and this past week has not been an exception.

This is either my second or third time buying this exact card.  This specific copy of the card is numbered 4/50.  I now own at lease 4% of the total print run of this dual patch card (possibly 6% if this is my third).  I will buy the rest of them if I can get them for only $4.50 shipped like i got this one!

The "Greatest Show On Earth," was fun to watch, unless they were throwing up and down the field on your team!  I snuck this card out for $3.50 shipped.  Yet another auction that ended at around 5am EST, I keep trying to warn the ebay sellers that I am the only person on earth that is up that early every day!

This Ray Rice is 17/50.  I broke the bank on this one at $6.36 shipped.  I was very pleased when Rice changed his jersey number from 39 to 27 because I wore 27 in high school (for baseball, I wore 28 high school for football-there was no 27 jersey, so I had to settle for 28).

$5.25 shipped for this puppy!  A triple patch, with Derrick Mason on it!  This Mason brings me to 23 on my quest for 24.  This was the first time I have ever seen this card, and I was very pleased to be able to get it.

This sweet card came from the same seller as the Heap card above.  It is numbered 19/25.  More importantly, if my math is correct (it is often wrong), this card brings my Mason patch total to 24.  Which means that I have completed part one of my quest for 24 Derrick Mason patches, getting a total of 24 patches.  Part two would be 24 unique patch cards.

I will spend a few minutes when I have some time to confirm that I have hit my goal of 24, and if so, I will scan and post all 24.  Until then, happy collecting!
