The greatest wide receiver ever to play the game autographed 1995 Super Bowl ticket. The hologram on the front epitomizes the 1990s. It also lets the autograph stand out on this ticket. Happy to have it as part of my collection.

I’ve been looking for a Jerry Rice auto in a Raiders uni for nearly a year, and managed to finally land one over the weekend for my Raiders PC. Even though the case looks like it is scratched, I’m happy!

My Giants might be out of it, but I still get to cheer for my second-favorite team: whoever's playing the Eagles.

Let's go 49ers!

Update: omg yay!

2025 had its ups and downs, both personally and on the grander scale, but it was a year of hard-earned lessons that I believe will prove valuable in the future.

I have three collecting resolutions for 2026:

1. Gather the remaining 7 cards I need to close out the 1995 Select Certified Mirror Gold football set (my Jerry Rice is pictured here). It’ll be the first set I’ve hand-collected since 1996 Score football almost three decades ago, and it goes toward my greater goal of collecting in a more focused manner.

2. Finish collecting the other half of the 1995 Topps 1000/3000 Yard Power Boosters football set, of which I currently have 18 of 40 cards remaining.

3. Launch a collecting-focused podcast that has a unique theme that I believe will resonate with a wide audience. It’s still very early in the planning stages and I’m open to the possibility that I abandon the idea, but if things go my way I hope to launch it this time next year.

Excelsior!
