One of my favorite Marshall Faulk cards is this game-used dual Flawless Greats patch auto. He was one of the top 3-5 all-around offensive pass-catching RBs the NFL has ever seen. He was pure electric on the field, first with Peyton Manning and later with Kurt Warner and the “Greatest Show on Turf” and the Rams.

Well… It’s Kobe Bryant day after all. 8/24. The date that signifies both the jersey numbers he wore during his illustrious NBA career. This is in my top two or three favorite Kobe cards that I own. The design is beautiful, and the patxh windows have Three color, chunky patches and the autograph is clean, crisp, bold, and then blue with a good deal of negative space to highlight the picture, the patch windows, and the autograph. Yes, I wish it was a gem grade, but I’m still pretty thrilled with this one. As a Celtics fan, I hated Kobe, but God did. I respect this game, his drive, his hustle, and his mentality. He was exquisitely fun to watch and taken too soon.

Note: this is not my card. I saw this one recently and it is being shared with permission. This is a Topps Dynasty, dual autograph of Elly de la Cruz and Olympic great, sprinter Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive. Well, some people think Elly is the fastest man in baseball, I think Chandler Simpson of the Tampa Tampa Bay Rays might be faster! Still, this is a super cool, unique, dual autograph out of Topps Dynasty.

If only he could hit like he fields the position…

I’m a sucker for game worn, dual patch autos from Flawless. I like the brand snd aesthetic more than National Treasures. The look is clean, multiple color patches with stitching and the ruby color match to boot with a clean, bold autograph. Grant Hill was one of the best offensive players before injuries took him out early. He’s always been super collectable, even so. But is still pretty affordable!
