One thing that my Black Friday purchases did was greatly increase the amount of low number serial numbered cards that I own. I added 23 cards to my collection numbered out of 25 or less. Let's see them!
 |
| Top L: 2004 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Gold #26, 13/25 - $3.25 Top R: 2006 Gridiron Gear Performers Platinum #PR-32, 6/25 - $1.00 Bottom: 2008 Absolute Memorabilia #MOF-24, 5/25 - $1.00 |
Here are three former Browns starting quarterbacks - numbers 6, 9 and 10 of the 24 since 1999. I love the sweet 49er swatch on the Garcia. (The back says it was game worn.)
 |
| L: 2010 Certified Mirror Gold #35, 8/25 - $1.00 R: 2007 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Spectrum Red #TOT-77, 2/25 - $1.75 |
 |
| L: 2012 Limited Spotlight Gold #26, 20/25 - $1.25 R: 2011 Topps Prime Silver Rainbow #148, 17/25 - $1.29 |
So little to pay. (Yes, I went there!)
 |
| Top L: 2008 Leaf Rookies & Stars Longevity Parallel Black #167, 3/25 - $1.50 Top R: 2009 Prestige Xtra Points Green #24, 22/25 - $0.90 Bottom L: 2014 Totally Certified Mirror Platinum Red #22, 5/25 - $1.30 Bottom R: 2009 Certified - Certified Potential Gold #20, 9/25 - $1.00 |
Can't complain about these purchases.
 |
| L: 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Gold Holofoil #167, 22/25 - $1.48 M: 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Gold Holofoil #24, 2/25 - $2.12 R: 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Gold Holofoil #23, 2/25 - $2.11 |
I was thrilled to get the matching numbers on the Edwards and Winslow cards. The best part of them, though, is pairing them with the following:
 |
| L: 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Black Holofoil #24, 2/10 - $3.63 R: 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Black Holofoil #23, 2/10 - $3.63 |
This pair shares the same serial number with the previous pair. I thought that was cool when I bought them. (Enough to break the order of this post by posting some #/10s before the next cards.)
 |
| L: 2014 Panini Hot Rookies Red Zone #292, 20/20 - $1.75 R: 2014 Absolute Spectrum Purple Anniversary #47, 11/20 - $1.00 |
I look at these prices and remember why I bought so many cards during the Black Friday sale.
 |
| 2011 Topps Triple Threads Relics Emerald #TTR-50, 7/18 - $3.05 |
I think this is just a great looking card.
 |
| L: 2014 Panini Crown Royale Purple #177, 7/10 - $3.22 R: 2014 Topps Chrome Mini Gold Refractor #69, 5/10 - $4.25 |
 |
| L: 2013 Panini Momentum Black #73, 1/5 - $4.52 R: 2014 Panini Select Green Prizm #22, 5/5 - $3.94 |
Say what you want about their stays in Cleveland, when there are only five of these cards, and I have one, I'm not going to complain.Not a bad haul to add to my collection.
The great thing about collecting a team most people don't collect is the fact that you can find excellent prices on nearly everyone out there. Take it from a Brewers fan!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great pickups, too -- I mean, a 1 of 5 for just $4.52? Wow.
Yeah, disappointments come cheap, except Manziel - as a former Heisman winner, and a "personality", I think his cards will always hold some value. I hope that he ends up having a great career with the Browns, and his cards become very expensive.
DeleteI'm willing to pay extra on Browns cards if they will become successful! Really, let me cheer for a winning team! Give me some stars!
What a patch on that Garcia!
