As I said over on TMV this evening, I had an enjoyable card show experience last Friday after a terrible one earlier last month. That quarter box success extended to my Wolverines collections as well as you'll see from my haul here:
Let's start with five great 90s/early 2000s base cards of coach Jim Harbaugh! These cards give me an excuse to post this tweet from Monday:
I love our coach.
And now for some horizontal inserts:
Arrington's card is a 2008 Playoff Prestige Prestigious Picks Red insert (#364/750). Beer/nachos/football lover Gerry Ford is represented on a 2004 Topps Presidential Pastime card from a baseball product, but he played football here, so in my football collection he shall go. WR Devin Funchess is Chromed out on a 60th Anniversary Rookies insert from 2015. Mike Hart
(109 cards) appears on a beautifully colorful draft-related insert from 2008 Playoff Prestige, making its second appearance here. The third is Super
Mario Manningham's (136 cards) Black version of the previously-seen Prestigious Picks insert (#275/500) for our third taste of Maize and Blue goodness.
For the rest of the bunch we go deep and go vertical:
Retired WR Jason Avant appears on a second-year Chrome Silver insert (#198/299) from 2007 Topps Draft. I found a pair of cards of fellow WR Braylon Edwards: a 2008 Topps Chrome Refractor (already had it, oops), and 2008 Triple Threads base card (#523/779). Leon Hall is my lone defensive player today with one of his several appearances in the SAGE HIT Big-10 insert. I then made a bit of progress towards
my Michigan Football RC collection with my second rookie of former transfer QB Jake Rudock, this one hailing from 2016 Panini. And finally, I found one last Michigan uni (heavily airbrushed though it may be) card, a 2001 Ultra College Greats Preview of Michigan WR great Amani Toomer.
Needless to say, this show excursion made both my wallet and
my Michigan Football inserts collection very happy!
