Some of my favorite cards are unlicensed. Like this game used Moses Malone 1/1 jersey tag from President’s Choice.

Man, I loved those early Autographics sets from 1996-97 and 1997-98. The retro ones like this don’t get much hobby love. I had to move this to trade for something I wanted more at the time. But I wish I would have kept this one. Oh well.

I’m a collector and typically don’t flip cards. I keep em. But I got this on Facebook raw. Graded it and ended up selling it at auction at Goldin. One of three cards I’ve ever sold on Goldin. Still kinda wish I had if, but did pretty well at the end of the day!

90s inserts really do go hard! This is from a high-end product and from his rookie year. They are impossible to find in great condition unless they were graded as soon as they were pulled from packs. They are printed on wood, and the wood started to crack and peel a little bit over time. Still these are super-unique and amazing, rare cards - especially for Manning fans.

A few years ago, I had a chance to buy one of the entire autographed Upper Deck Masters sets for about $3000. Being unlicensed at the time, I put my money into other cards and projects. I knew it was a fairly good deal, but it didn’t realize how good of a deal it was. One of my many, many missed opportunities. The set is super cool and design with black-and-white portraits and silver autographs with olive oil. Oh well… You win some, you lose some, right?
