I’m a deeply unserious collector.

1996 Score Dugout Collection Artist’s Proof, in case you were wondering.

Here’s a great example of Pinnacle photo selection dovetailing perfectly with parallel design. Ron Gant looks like he just got fooled by a sinker that broke 12-to-6 and all he can do is laugh at himself.

I love a good color match parallel of a solid wide receiver, so this card checks all the boxes. Mirror Blue versions were inserted 1:199 packs.

This guy is still a legend at Virginia Tech, even if his pro career didn’t pan out. He’s also got some really sharp cards out there!

No need to rub your eyes - the “King of Rock and Roll” didn’t return to play quarterback for the Panthers in the 1990s. Apparently Kerry Collins liked to moonlight as an Elvis impersonator, as captured in this 1997 Pinnacle Trophy Collection card. I became aware of this card’s existence last weekend, and I doubt Kerry could’ve played “Hound Dog” in the time it took me to purchase it.

Side note: This is the place on the Venn Diagram where my collection (junk wax football parallels) overlaps with @cardsforchrist’s collection (all things Elvis). Gotta love Mantel.
