This might be my favorite Topps Chrome design or my favorite NFL player. And to have a gold refractor of Manning is just awesome. Of course, I wish this was a PSA 10. The only downside to this year is the gold refractors are a little flat/dull appearing and don’t have as much shine as some of the other years. Still, happy to have this in the PC.

My all-time favorite football player and just an all-around good guy. It was great to live in Indy during the Manning years! Simple card design, but super pretty card in-hand.

As Panini slowly yields to the Fanatics group for officially licensed cards, we can look back on some of the things they did right. The Flawless brand usually contained game used, on-card autographs, and they did a spectacular job of creating a high end, premium look and feel each of their cards. Peyton Manning is my favorite player in my lifetime. These chunky multicolored, game worn patches are complimented by the bright, bold, clean, blue sharpie on the white background. Cards of Hall of Famer‘s like this will seldom go down in price as they’re slowly scooped up and put in peoples permanent collections.

Shields. Logomen. Bat barrels. Love game used, rare 1/1 cards of my favorite players and HOFers. This is one of two Peyton Manning game used shield Cards I have!
