Well I was overly pleased to win it for this price...Its a $300 card.

whats everyone think, good or bad?

those have been highly faked. there was an article in Beckett a few months ago about them. especially the Leinarts. if the card says Player Issue on the bottom right of the card on the back that mean it is fake. these Player Issue's were given to the players to keep unsigned but somehow Leinart's got out and people began faking them.
I would request a scan of the back of the card first. I can scan the article for you if you want. lmk

not a steal, just what they sell for....infact, here is one that sold for $54 and IS REAL (stated having the holo on the back....no mention of it in your winning auction)....the guy's on IR and didn't look impressive at all when he did play....look for the BV to start to drop based on these sales

Man I wouldnt care for that price though! Leinart is still has potential!

Hagans, I think it's a nice price... in fact you beat me in the auction :( If I'd of known it was you bidding I would've laid off. As for the faking thing, I thought it wasn't really determined if those premieres were fake, rather that someone was obtaining them at the Rookie Premiere? Hopefully that's not the case.

As for potential, I think Leinart has a bright future. He was solid last year and may have regressed slightly. If nothing else he showed a lot more than other guys that people are speculating on...

All said and done, I think it's a nice pickup.

he had less than a TD/game, more INTs than TDs, 56% completion, and a 74 rating....thats not "solid" man

I'm sitting on one of his Contenders rc auto's at the moment.
I think that if he was to play this entire season and not have gotten injured i think he would've grown as a QB and he would learn from Kurt Warner.
I think he'll be good once he returns next year, if he can get the ball to his Receivers, awesome set of receivers, i think he can be a great qb.

im not about to "speculate" on his future....fact of the matter is his 17 games thus far have been far from solid, and reports in AZ before his injury were not good on his progression.....i just state the facts, i keep my speculations to myself (although everyone laughed when i said to buy kellen clemens last year)

I think it's a great pick up.
