Is it time for kickoff yet?

A couple of cards arrived today to increase my anticipation

Chris Johnson 08 Topps auto (non-certified in person signature)

I rarely buy non-pack pulled autos on eBay, but did a little research and was pretty satisfied that the sig was legit. I love the full Johnston auto, I wish he'd do the same for the sigs he supllies to the card companies.

case in point...

Chris Johnson 08 Topps Rookie Premiere Auto

CJ's 08 version of the classic Topps Rookie Premiere auto... damn initials.

also rec'd some goodies from goTitans member Monsta (the spoils of a trade I did with him for the PW Go Dogs! card). Most of it belongs in the Griff thread and will be posted there shortly but he did included a couple of awesome bonus redemption cards (that weren't part of the trade). One's a Griff but the other is a 2007 Donruss Thread Gridiron Kings Signature Jersey redemption (no scan as it's just a redemption at this point). DAMN!!!! Nice throw in... thanks Jerms!

I overspent this week. But was in the mood. I have never seen an Olajuwon/Jordan auto, and had to get it on the heels of the HOF Ceremony. Me love Olajuwon. But Jordan is the real keeper on this card.

Good luck with the redemptions. The CJ's are nice. First time I saw his full auto.

I didn't want to get 8 balled on the CJ Auto's, so in the 3rd QTR I decided to buy 3 of them before he begins to skyrocket. I feel now he is legitimate and we are about to face the inevitable jolt. I din't get in early, but not too late either.

Cool dual... but who is this Jordan guy? Never heard of him (you should try buying one with good players on it instead).

Love the Rice (the centering looks pretty good). I have a pack-pulled Rice, but the centering is awful. Can't stand even looking at the thing. I really have to get a nice one like that. What do they run these days on eBay $25 - $30?

How's the SPX CJ look in hand? I waited too long to pick one up... I'm thinking they're a little bit pricier than they were on Saturday.

You could get Jerry Rice for about $30-35 with three to four colors in auction. I saw one about a month ago and lost. They come up every so often. So I just bought this one for $70 because I had been wanting it for so long. I gave in and took the hit for pure meercat satisfaction. The actual Rice Rookie is in the same ball park I think. Bout 30$. But the centering as you said has been an issue.

Still waiting for all these cards to arrive. But I too will be interested to see if the CJ looks good in hand. Should know sometime this week.

I'm an idiot! I didn't even notice that was a jersey card... I thought it was a Rice rookie :ha: Beautiful patch.

Speaking of nice patches...

It's always hard to pass up a sweeet Campbell game used.

EARL! Nice

I think these were give aways at the games during the 2006 Thanksgiving weekend. Just a cheap oddball 2006 VY card added to the collection.
