Depends what shape the exquisite is in. Can't go wrong with one of his best.

I don't collect baseball but I know enough about those cards to give an opinion. Personally, I would prefer to keep the 3 different cards. I don't know why, but I have always rather have a variety of great cards rather than one "white whale" so to speak. But everyone is different. Just my opinion. Don't know if it helps. In the words of my grandmother, "did I make things as clear as mud?"

the first... you have 3 future HOF players on 1 card
hypothetically rodgers could get hurt and never touch a football again... thats a big gamble

RE: fork in the road of my pc collecting..
the 1st road..
1st card...i wouldnt need becuase i would have the exquisite
2nd card..easier to come by the then exquisite
3rd..a little risk since he still has to come back.
2nd road..
proven qb with seems to be a even righter future. BV may go up and become harder to get

A little truth...Rodgers isn't has durable as Favre, and 3 future HOF on 1 card is nice.
If i can figure out a way to use 2 of the 3 and keep the triple baseball.

RE: fork in the road of my pc collecting..
Is the SP the RC parallel jumbo patch card? If so, keep that one. Much nicer than the Exquisite. Also, the SPA will eventually be the one everyone wants hands down, with only 130 total copies made vs. the Exquisite's 199.
NVM.... I just saw which one you had... I hate to say it, but go Exquisite. I almost would buy the SPA before the Exquisite though. The SPA RC is actually signed on-card. The Exquisite is nothing more than a cardboard insert the players signed. Along with the lower print run, the SPA is the way to go in my opinion.
Trying to finish these sets:
1999 Upper Deck Strike Force Quantum /100
2000 Score Complete Players Green/ Blue
2000 Leaf Piece of the Game Preview 4th Down Isaac Bruce
2008 Premier NFL Equipment /25 John Elway
Let me know if you have any available.

i would like the SPA /99, but thats already out'a reach for me. and barely shows up any more.
the exquisite is a nice 3 color patch. I NEED IT.
i could part with the SPA gold /25 and the strasburg , no problem, its the triple auto that i've gorwn attached to.
