I realized tonight that I didn’t really have to do this card until next Friday, as there is still another week to go before the Super Bowl, but I had it all lined up, so I’ll figure something else out next week. Maybe I’ll find a cool Patriots card or something.
But the card of the week this week is a 2007 Leaf Certified Materials Eli Manning Fabric of the Game Team Logo card. The Card has a nice two color red and blue patch, with the cutout shaped like the Giants’ “NY” logo (hence the “Team Logo” part of the name).
I’m not a huge Eli Manning fan–haven’t been since he forced his way to New York–but you do have to admire the job he’s done in leading his team to the Super Bowl, even if he’s getting a lot of help from the running game and defense along the way.
The card is serial numbered 12 out of 25 made, and according to Beckett books at $20. I pulled the card from a pack myself, in the first pack of the third box of Leaf Certified Materials I busted this year–a box I happened to win at my local card shop.
Other big pulls from that particular box included a Dan Marino Fabric of the Game Prime (#24/25), Brandon Marshall Mirror Gold Materials with a three color patch (#18/25), and a Vernon Davis Certified Potential Materials Prime (#1/5).
The other Fabric of the Game cards I pulled in 2007 include a Jack Lambert Prime (#15/25), and Carnell Williams NFL Die Cut (#14/25).
Overall I’d say that this set was one of my favorites of the year, especially for a set I wasn’t expecting to collect going into the year. It definitely will make my list in 2008.
