Black Friday: 25 or less

No, I'm not limiting myself to 25 words with this post.

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
Here are two cards of former Washington State Cougar Jerome Harrison. I love how nicely the hologram tools of the trade show up in this scan.


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
Ray Agnew is the son of  the former 11 year NFL defensive lineman of the same name.

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.

  1. 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!

    These are some great pickups, too -- I mean, a 1 of 5 for just $4.52? Wow.

    1. 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.

      I'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!
