Let's see your mirrors

I have a bunch but to keep the initial post semi short, I'll start with the early years. Feel free to post yours.

For me, this will be day 12 with no Joe Louis cards to buy. Uggghhhh. His rare cards take forever to turn up. "Bartender, I'll have another chocolate milkshake, with extra chocolate syrup. Bartender, if you won't serve me another one here, I'll just get one somewhere else".

Go kick his ass.

I was just wondering if there were cards of any particular player that the OP likes to collect?

Matt, back to your topic..... I mostly collect vintage players, so nothing to contribute, but I wish I did! Tippett is my favorite player of all time and he missed 95 select by one year!

I feel ya. I like seeing Emmitt on throwback style cards just like I'm sure it would be cool for you to see Tippett on some 90s styles

Great idea for a thread, mine aren't graded, but here are a few

Not just mirrors, but here is my Curtis Martin "rainbow"

Nice cards Abe. I loved Curtis Martin. He was such an under-appreciated back during his playing time and even by collectors now. And also who doesn't love 96 select certified mirrors? Pure awesomeness

Sometimes I have to vent my frustrations about not being able to locate Joe Louis cards. Sorry for the irreparable damage I caused everyone.

Morning Matt

While your cards are way too cool, I don't remember buying any Pinnacle that year?

Are those cards numbered on the back?

Thanx for sharing buddy.

I'm a big Martin fan and have been collecting his cards for a long time. I haven't gone the graded route, was too far in to switch gears. I collect up to the end of his career, 2007, I'm at about 70% of all that Beckett lists.

Not every thread has to be about you Randy. Once you learn that you'll be okay

Hi Mike. No, these are unnumbered. I remember hearing on the 1997 golds, there was only print run of 30 but you know how that goes.

I say this about every player I see in the series but if you haven't seen Curtis Martin's "A football Life", be sure to check it out. He's such a good person. It's always interesting to see what motivates and drives certain players. The series really delivers on that aspect.

I would say that the Curtis Martin and Roger Staubach episodes are my favorites, no surprise as they are my two favorite players, but I agree with you Matt, the entire series does a great job of clearly revealing the personal drive and motivation of the players featured.

Totally agree! I'm not ashamed to say it either but the Staubach episode made me cry a little.

Not a mirror card, but I have no choice but to show it anyway. The famous, Czech Stadion gold redemption MJ.
