They owe Peyton Manning money. They owe Tony Romo money. They owe Kareem Abdul-Jabbar money. They owe Drew Brees money. They owe Adrian Peterson money. They owe Dan Marino money.
And you still see them staying in business? I laugh and I laugh hard.
I would hope they pay everyone back and settle the issues, but I do not see it happening. The only way they get their NFL license back is if they show some effort in paying what they owe already........................................ And they aren't going to do that anytime soon.
I flip them usually.
elite football cards, read up on it man. Don't get sucked in by UD.

Oh yeah. Almost forgot... They owe Tim Tebow money!
How in the world do you owe Tebow money?!?!?! They going straight to H3LL for that one! Lol
I know the story on them. I did a paper on sports cards for one of my MBA classes. They made mistakes. They aren't sucking me in. I just feel like they have top notch designs and high quality cards.......

"Do you remember Tom Brady at Michigan?" - Was down 10 heading into the 4th quarter against top 10 Penn State after just throwing a pick 6 and led Michigan to a comeback win against one of the better defenses he faced in his career.
" Arian Foster? Undrafted..." Yup. Tennessee was driving to put the nail in the coffin in the 2006 Outback Bowl and Arian took a handoff off the right side, took a hit, fumbled and it was returned for a touchdown.
"If I say, Matt Forte," - 2,000 yard rusher for the Tulane Green Wave. If I remember correctly, he went for about 350 on either Houston or SMU.
"How about Dan Marino?" - Ranked #1 and had a 14 point lead on Penn State, only to see Penn State rattle off 41 unanswered points. That's what I think of Dan Marino when I see his name.
"Many don't even know where Peyton Manning went to college" - Now you're just being facetious. I remember him lighting up Kentucky for more than 500 yards passing. If I had to guess that record still stands as they haven't really had anybody since Tee Martin.
RGIII and Andrew Luck will be a Baylor Bear and a Stanford Cardinal for life, like it or not.
Your argument holds no water. Its an opinion and nothing more.
"To me" are the key words here. Nobody else really cares what a rookie is to you. I, like many others, consider first year cards of a player their rookie card, whether they are in a college uniform, spandex bike shorts, combine gear, NFL helmet and practice jersey with no pads and shorts on, NFL helmet with practice jersey WITH pads, NFL jersey with no helmet and no pads like Topps Rookie Premier, NFL game uniforms and any other combination you can come up with.
I would MUCH rather this

Thank you. I like the card comparison and the reference to bike shorts ha. And noone really does care what a rookie is to you. Your one collector and just one opinion.

Both RG3 rookie cards to me but the exquisite design just looks so much nicer and superior
