Man, I know the later Precious Metals are so much more desirable and better looking - but watch out for these. They are sneaky-rare and still look amazing. Glad to have this AI rookie - one of the few pickups I made at the National last year.

Probably not the best timing on this one! Oh well, picked it up a few weeks ago. It’s pretty cool in-hand. Hope he can get himself some help and get better. Not for sports purposes but for life purposes.

I’m a collector and typically don’t flip cards. I keep em. But I got this on Facebook raw. Graded it and ended up selling it at auction at Goldin. One of three cards I’ve ever sold on Goldin. Still kinda wish I had if, but did pretty well at the end of the day!

Most PMGs are waaay out of my price range. Calbert Cheaney was at Indiana when I was in college in Bloomington. He was the best player (and my favorite college player) I ever watched. A silky smooth left handed who still has the all-time Big Ten scoring record. He never panned out as a superstar in the NBA. He doesn’t have a ton of super high end cards/parallels, so happy to have this one. Even though I had to overpay to get it!

I was never lucky enough to pull any PMG back when those were back in 1997. In fact, one of these started exploding a few years ago. I didn’t quite understand the appeal. But after holding a few in-hand, they have an

Otherworldly shine and glow to them that makes them really interesting, cool, different, and special. This is the only true PMG that I have. Thankfully, it’s from one of my favorite players Marvin Harrison benefited from having Peyton Manning as his quarterback. To me, he’s a top 5 to 10 wide receiver all time. These are very condition sensitive , so happy to have this as an SGC 7. Between PMG‘s, credentials, and Rubies I think PMG‘s get the most love. The credentials and rubies were already out of my price range but some of the later credential sets ( I specifically like the 2006-2007 basketball set) are still fun to chase.
