My #d 264/xxx SP Authentic Collection..., (...and maybe other "variants")

[BrewCrew06]

Sankey and Starks are sharp cards. I want to get my hands on a few of those actor cards, that Chaplin is real nice.

[OZTATAR]

Very nice Starks, but that Chaplin is unbelievable.

Thanks, gents (as always).
----------------------------

First off is a freebie, after I got refunded. Postal service turned into an accordion, since the seller didn't at any other protection, aka filler card.

2002 Sweet Spot Sage Rosenfels 264/450



A couple freebies from slugger3469, Joe Monge. I met Joe at the Nationals this year and found a card that I wanted from him (see below). I received it recently with these two fine "variant" additions.

2006 Elite Eli Manning / Phil Simms 0264/1000



2012 Crown Royale Courtney Upshaw 264/399



Another freebie from my friend down under, thanks Alex (OZTATAR).

2014 Elite Johnny Manziel 264/499



Another Elite, but better since he is a Packer....

2014 Elite Jeff Janis 264/999



An awesome older "variant"....

1998 Collectors Edge Len Dawson 0264/2000



Ebay find and actually have 3 of the 4 now (Black, Pink and now Camo. Just need the Purple).

2012 Topps Chrome Randy Moss Camo 264/499



So while at the Nationals, my son and I happened upon a seller who had Luck, RGIII and Tannehill Camos recently RCR'd, all 9.5. He said his three cards were part of the complete camo set he was trying to sell. I got to talking to him and my collection came to light and recognized it from Blowout. I asked to check his set. Low and behold the last card, the first one I checked was my number. I made arrangements to try and replace it and swap it out, as long as he hadn't sold it. I found a replacement, sent it to him and then waited patiently. The post office took about 3 times longer than they should have, but obviously since the two above came with it, it made it. Thank you Joe for helping my collection and being a great hobbyist.

2012 Topps Chrome Tom Brady Camo 264/499



#133 for this year's chase.....

2013 Topps Chrome Von Miller Camo 264/499



Another Nationals story. My son and I were walking through the maze of tables and ran into another Blowout member whom recognized me (I had a freakin' 264 jersey, what isn't to recognize) and said that he just busted some boxes and pulled a Fitz camo 264/499. It was in the car and when he got home, he would send it to me. Well, he did just that. Thank you jackmac1983 (Jack), this makes #134 of this year's chase....

2013 Topps Chrome Larry Fitzgerald Camo 264/499



Finally, a card I chased a few time in razzes and pretty much said the heck with it. Winner of the card contacted me, and we struck a deal.

2012 Black Andrew Luck 264/349

Love the cards but really enjoyed the part about you collecting with your son. Keep it up dad and there will be memories that will last long after the cards are gone.
