Eli Picks: 2008 Absolute Memorabilia Red Spectrum Eli Manning

Eli's Picks is a segment where Eli himself, well a stuffed Bleacher Creature version, picks his favorite base/insert cards to show off.

 

Eli is back again and this time chose a simple parallel to showcase.

 

Is it because of the parallel this card is being showcased? No.  It's because of the jersey Eli is wearing. 

 

I really dig the red alternate jerseys and usually I am not a fan of white background cards as I prefer action shots, but the white works well here as it really shows off the jersey Eli is wearing.

The red jerseys haven't been worn in awhile but were showcased a few times in the late 00's. I hope they make another return.
