Last Minute Grab

I am so far behind on making this post, I grabbed this lot back on my birthday ten minutes after getting an eBay gift card as my gift.

Normally, I don't like to spend those that fast. I like to drag it out a little bit.

But, when I went to searches for my daily check in and my Eli Manning one popped up with a cheap lot ending, I took a chance and was shocked to had won it as cheap as I did.

For $10.75, I landed a 6 card Eli Manning lot that included,

 

A rookie year, 2004 Fleer Platinum Youth Movement

2005 Zentih Spellbound /100 (I really want the other two letters now)

2005 Playoff Honors Accolades /699

2008 Elite Elite Stars /800

2006 Prestige Xtra Points /100

And then the card that really had me at hello,

2004 Playoff Honors Rookie Quad relic (rookie relic) /250

Back of card.

I don't know about you, but this was a steal. Try looking these up individually and see for yourself.

I will need to update my Eli Manning card numbers soon.

Thoughts on my steal of a mail day and if you have had any recently in comments below!

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.

The Card Bin: What Did I Find This Time?

I really enjoyed doing this post over at The Card Bin blog and I wasn't just going to leave you all hanging with it. So without further ado, another post from The Card Bin, which is what I call this this tote right here:

 

I think most of us collectors have that one place we store all of our extra cards that are not PC related. This is where I stick mine. I also use this as a once-in-awhile dig through to bring back memories or for a just for fun experience. I will start posting cards from this bin to show you what's hiding in there. I honestly have no idea what is in there, I only know its autographs and memorabilia cards from the past 14 years. So this should be fun for both you and I!

Onto today's find:
