Yep, I'm doing the five minute post thing over here too because, why not? I'm betting if I allow myself to be ok with shorter posts I'll write more often.
And anyway this is a good time for it since I have a single card to show off, my only eBay purchase so far this month, which I won for a bit under $12 shipped:
This here is a 2014 Prestige Cyan Plate of my favorite football PC guy, Chad Henne. I'd had my eye on it for quite a while before giving myself the green light as the seller also had a card I was chasing for a trade package. I didn't win that one and its free combined shipping bonus, but I was still very happy to add another Henne 1/1 to my collection. That's #7 (hey, his jersey number!) and leads my football collection by a lot since he's the only guy for whom I've nabbed more than two. It also represents hit #120 (also a huge lead) and my 113th total plate/one-of-one. I also noticed as I was updating my PC page that Henne continues to creep closer to Charles Woodson for the #1 spot in terms of my football player collections. I mean, he may as well top all the lists, right?
Showing a Henne card is particularly relevant this week as Michigan prepares for the annual battle with Michigan State. Chad was partly responsible for the insane triple-OT comeback win against the Spartans during his true freshman season of 2004. He also tossed three TDs in another overtime victory in '05, three more in a three-score blowout in '06. Henne finished his Michigan career against MSU with a game-winning pass to Mario Manningham in the 2007 matchup in East Lansing, one four he tossed in the four-point victory. Yep, he never lost to the couch-burners!
It's definitely been more than five minutes, but once again at least that got me to post! I'll leave you with a scan of the base version of this card as well as the Yellow Plate which I also own. Half the plates are mine!
