Sometimes you just have to buy something that doesn't fit in any of your sets

I just got this in today. After the auction I e-mailed the seller and we agreed on a price under his minimum bid. Favre is one of my favorite players, and the 1991 Stadium Club super bowl parallel is damn tough in any grade. I consider this the premier modern oddball football card, and I've wanted one for years. This is the only PSA 10 out of 14 graded. There are 388 PSA 10's out of 6270 graded of his base Stadium Club RC. I still can't believe I paid 4 figures for a 1991 card. 
I hope my inevitable buyer's remorse isn't too acute

That is one great looking card Joe.
Most modern cards look like a monkey on LSD designed them.
What a concept ... a card with the name of the player and a cool picture of him on it.

Time will tell how the hobby untimately views parallels. They were scorching hot at first off course, now people just don't care (with notable exceptions like '93 Finest Refractors). I have a hunch that when the hobby matures some of the tougher parallels will have a renaissance. But then again, I've always been biased towards the oddball stuff.

I saw this one, but was scared off by the minimum bid..lol
I think you said it best " the premier modern oddball football card"...As popular as Favre is, I think there will always be a market for a card as rare as this one.
I wonder if there is anyway to find out the total number of these in existence?

according to my values and my needs. Nothing holds dominion over me, I stand alone as the ruler of my life.
I've heard estimates of 200-300 sets. Singles can be found but not very often and not in much quantity, so the estimate is probably not too far off.

Congratulations on the nice pick up. I was also seriously eyeing it up and was waiting for it get relisted with a lower opening price. Favre is one of the throwbacks in the NFL and will always have a large collector following.

Awesome pick up. I was tracking the auction as well and thought about dropping the change for the card but 4 figures was out of... no, WAY out of my budget!!! Even still, that's a great, great pickup! Enjoy!
