Pujols was a rookie in 2001, so he missed the classic 97 through 2000 essential credentials parallels. This was not the most popular or best looking of credentials however it’s still very rare and very limited. As a Cardinals fan, I was able to get this one without breaking the bank.

Trying to recover from a game 7 loss and loss of your all-star point guard for all of next year…so posting some cool Pacers cards. Here is a sweet Skybox E-X essential credentials of former all-star Jermaine O’Neal. This is my second favorite year of the credentials due to the colorful acetate cards!

As the football collecting world continues to focus on quarterbacks, I see opportunities to buy a Hall of Fame caliber players in skill positions like running backs and wide receivers. Curtis Martin is a top 10 running back of all time and I was able to purchase one of his best cards, the skybox EX essential credentials numbered out of 50 for less than $200. I love collecting cards like this from great sets!

Man, I love the essential credential parallel sets! While many of them are out of range, price wise, especially the 1997-98 sets, some deals are still out there to be had. I picked up this Keyshawn and Johnson credentials for about $150. People forget how dominant he was as a wide receiver. Especially since football collectors focus on quarterbacks, this allows other collectors of the sport to pick up great cards of a Hall of Fame players for a reasonable cost.
