Eli Picks:2004 Fleer Platinum Youth Movement

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

 

Another new edition of Eli's Picks as we move more into football season. I am not sure how many more of these will make the cut before I make a few blog changes but I will decide later on. As of right now, this is the finale.

Eli chose a card from his rookie year this time. It's an insert from 2004 Fleer Platinum that has some embossing on it. Which is what the real catch about the cards actually is to him. He doesn't think the picture is too shabby either.

I am not sure what the odds are on this as I couldn't find any information on them, but I would assume knowing the product they were probably one or two per box. I was lucky to add this one thanks to 90's Niche Football Card Blog.

My NEW Giants Game Day Buddy, Eli Bleacher Creature

It's the greatest time of year. The NFL season.

With the season getting more underway today, I am getting prepared for tonight's game between the NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. Every Sunday (unless they are playing on a different day)  I usually do the same, go to Church and get home and put my jersey on. Each week I wear a different one depending on which player I think will have a big game or as a dedication to players from the past that I wished were still playing. This year I am adding to my game watching experience with my new little buddy, Eli.

This cool collectible is made by the Bleacher Creature company. This is the first time I had ever seen one of these up-close and I must say that I am quite impressed. The facial features, I think some Eli face parallels would be fun, are pretty spot on. The product is very durable as well. Not something I would had noticed from looking at their online pictures from social media. The prices on these are not too bad either falling around $20 a piece which is pretty standard for a sports collectible. They also offer non-sport items as well.

So if you are wondering what my attire will appear as tonight....

 

Yup. Eli Manning. Not only to match my little buddy, but because I am thinking a big game for Eli. My personal game prediction may say otherwise. As painful as it is to say, I think the Cowboys beat up on the Giants injured/learning curve defense 37-24. Hopefully I am way wrong and that the score is the opposite.

So, for today's topic I wanna know if you own a Bleacher Creature and who? Also your game predictions!
