Wow, you've been doing work! Some really nice cards in there. I like the big, bold, border colors from Score 2001, it looks good!

Great stuff...did you notice that neither patch on 2005 Donruss Gridiron Gear Performers Jerseys Patch Double #18 Edgerrin James /25 actually match what it's supposed to be!?!

Indeed, Nate, thanks man! Seeing Edge in 2015 and 2016 product kind of reinvigorated me... making the push to 50% of all non-1/1 cards by the end of the year. At 48.1% right now, so we'll see.

Thanks Peter! I did notice the mismatch (and likely replica) patches. Contacted the seller during the auction, they claimed to believe it was authentic. Messaged again to work something out... obviously prefer this not go back into circulation since it's likely been altered.
update: seller wasn't responsive at first, but was easy to work with after I opened a case. Ended in positive feedback exchange so I'll chalk it up as a win-win.

Edge is all over 2015 and 2016 stuff! Didn't expect to see this much of him given he hasn't had more than 20 cards in a given year since 2009.

Any card that trashes Brady is a good card! #deflategate #paintgate :p I'll keep my eyes open for his newer stuff.

I like that Edge is respected and remembered enough that companies are still making cards of him in 2016... from the perspective of a Rob Johnson collector, must be nice!

Seldom are more true words spoken, hahaha! Appreciate the extra set of eyes.

For sure! Really hadn't expected to see new stuff start popping up in March (?), but every time he's in a new product it's a happy surprise. Panini should release a NT sub set "USC Greats" or something and include ol' Rob!

Unfortunately, I think it's less about respect, and more about getting rid of sticker autos they've been hanging on to. Sets like Certified and Prime Sigs are digging into old drawers and pulling out Bubba Franks, yup, Bubba, autos to put into their products. I like seeing some slightly older players in there though. I could be wrong, but that's my understanding behind some of these odd players. EJ should be in anyway, he was a great player!

Yeah, I figured it had something to do with secondary market... but you could be right about the stickers. Some of the Edge autos I've seen from new stuff are garbage, one even looked traced (poorly, it was missing some connections between letters) onto the sticker.

Geeeeeez! Someone has been super busy!! :p
So whats the plan once you've got all his cards?

OT: I am downsizing because I couldn't do like u! lol
Plus i'm trying to do all his RCs, 1/1s & anything short printed to /5,/6 or /7 BUT i want to BGS them & trying to get a 9.5 or greater on them, especially his RCs. I just haven't taken the time to print out the listing & mark them off as I go.


Btw, Edge making the HOF soon enough? People downplay his career though, especially considering all you heard that year was about Ricky Williams! lol
