Catching up with my collection - 3

I started to catch up with cards that I have acquired for my Browns collection, but paused when I made a trip to Arizona a while ago to help close my mother's home there after it sold.

I met up with Daniel there, and he gave me some cards that I still have to post.

However, since I have some photos of cards that I've added to my collection ready to go, I'll continue showing some of these cards.


This Braylon Edwards card is from the 2007 Fleer Ultra - Feel the Game Jerseys insert set.

I like Braylon Edwards' smile in the photo on the card. I guess for a while he was happy with the Browns.

The patch on the jersey was celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Browns franchise, and has both the white and orange helmets on it. A white helmet was brought back as an alternate helmet for the Browns this year, and was worn on last week's Monday Night Football game against the Steelers.



Here are two different versions of inserts from the 2007 Upper Deck Artifacts set.

The top card is from the AFC Apparel Patch insert set, and is numbered out of 50.

The bottom card is from the AFC Apparel Gold insert set, and is numbered out of 99.



I was a big Brady Quinn fan, partly because I grew up as a Notre Dame fan. I like cards like the one to the left that can combine my Browns and Notre Dame fandom in my collection.

The Brady Quinn card is from the College Materials insert set from 2007 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia, and is numbered out of 100.

The card to the right is from the 2007 SP Authentic set. It is an autographed rookie card of Eric Wright, numbered out of 1199. Wright was drafted in the 2nd round, out of UNLV, and played four seasons with the Browns.



Derek Anderson almost led the Browns to the playoffs in the 2007 season. They missed out with a 10-6 record.

This card is from the Winning Materials insert set from the 2008 SPx set, and is numbered out of 149.



Here are two more memorabilia cards of Derek Anderson, with the one on the left from the 2008 Donruss Elite - Stars Jerseys Silver insert set, numbered out of 199.

The card on the right is from the Pro Gridiron Kings Materials insert set from 2008 Donruss Threads, and is numbered out of 250.



The top card is a Braylon Edwards card from 2009 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia. It is from the Absolute Heroes Materials Spectrum Prime insert set, and is numbered out of 50.

The bottom card is an autographed rookie card, numbered out of 999, from the 2009 SP Authentic base set. The card is of Kaluka Maiava, a nephew of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Maiava was a 4th round pick of the Browns out of USC. He played four seasons with the Browns before moving on to the Oakland Raiders.



Here are a couple of different cards of one of the three Browns 2nd round draft picks from the 2009 NFL Draft. Mohamed Massaquoi was their second receiver drafted in the round, at pick number 50, out of Georgia.

The top card is from the 2009 Bowman Sterling set, and is numbered out of 749, while the bottom card is from a college card set, 2009 Press Pass SE. It is from the Gridiron Graphs Gold insert set.



Brian Robiskie was also drafted in the 2nd round of the 2009 NFL Draft, drafted at number 36, out of Ohio State. His father Terry was a coach with the Browns from 2001-2006, including a short stint as the interim head coach in 2004.

The top card is from the Relics insert set from 2009 Topps National Chicle.

The bottom card is from the Autographs insert set of the college 2009 SAGE HIT set.



The Brady Quinn card above is from the Jerseys Prime insert set of 2009 Donruss Threads, and is numbered out of 25.

The bottom card of David Veikune is also from the Autographs insert set of the college 2009 SAGE HIT set. Veikune was the third of the Browns 2nd round draft picks from the 2009 NFL Draft. He was drafted with the 52nd pick, out of Hawaii.

Veikune played in ten games of the 2009 season, before tearing his MCL during the last practice of the season. He was waived by the Browns in September 2010 and signed with Denver in November.

  1. That Quinn college materials is a great looking card. The ND die cut is very cool. If only they had this creativity now-a-days

  2. That Edwards relic you kicked the post off with is pretty cool. Interesting to see the 87F design used for a football card set.

  3. I like the Brady Quinn ND card too. It would look really great if the swatches were green, or at least if the clover was.
