Mail Day! Finally completed a Favre 98 Black Diamond Rainbow!
#1

Mail Day! Finally completed a Favre 98 Black Diamond Rainbow!
Got this in today from the bay, thought I would share a rainbow that was 14 years in the making:

Here is the completed rainbow:

And here is the base card rainbow for good measure:

Still need the quad from the Black Diamond Rookies set that year, but otherwise I have 'em all (well, except for the 1/1 White Onyx card, but one can dream...)

Thanks, guys! The older stuff is pretty hard to find these days. I only got the quad horizontal because I contacted a guy who was selling off a collection on ebay. Was able to get almost 400 more that I needed including that card and the 1997 Upper Deck MVPs, which I had never even seen until then!

WOW, great pickup, I got all my Jets quads when a set got broke in 2000 ish, as well as Vinny Testaverde, Bryan Cox and Curtis Martin who all became Jets in 1998. After that finding all the triples was hard work.

The two Black Diamond Premium Cut Curtis Martin's were a challenge, congratulations. Those quad black diamond rookies were also tough to find back then, I think there 150 of each quad.
