This 2000 Fleer MetalTom Brady rookie, emerald parallel, is somehow not in the very top tier of Brady rookies for some reason. It’s odd, as the Fleer metal lineage, and the parallels, are usually highly sought after. Especially for a rookie card that depicts Brady in his NFL Patriots uniform. These emerald parallels are exquisitely difficult to find, especially in good condition, I bought this many years ago raw and really thought I had a chance had a PSA 9 with the outside chance of a 10. A little disappointed in the 8, but it still presents beautifully in-hand. Not for sale. Not for trade. I don’t have many Tom Brady cards and this is one I’m gonna hold onto….unless I can upgrade the condition downstream.

These are hard to grade but still pretty common - I think about 800 in the PSA 10 pop report. But for a condition sensitive Kobe rookie, the metal, colors, and texture are very, very cool. I’ll likely end up trading this one day to consolidate to a bigger card. But I’ve had it for years and still really enjoy holding it and looking at it from time to time!

I bid on a couple of these with only the intention to buy 1 on eBay and ended up with 3???

Will GIVEAWAY one of the slabs if this post gets 100 reactions.

Allen Iverson - 96 NBA Fleer Metal

• 1 raw

• 2 PSA 9s

Love this card I picked it up the other day!

One of the most classic and iconic parallels in the 1980s, the PMG red and green Fleer metal cards are some of the best and most sought after cards out there. Marvin Harrison is in my top three NFL wide receivers, all time. Happy to have this one that’s part of the collection. It’s my only PMG of all years and all sports. They are too pricey for my blood.
