2016 Donruss Elite – Buffalo Bills
As I’ve posted on here before I’m a big fan of the guys at TradeCardsNowBoards.com. While the contests and the trading is what keeps me coming back occasionally I purchase a few cards from some of the guys on the site. I picked up some Buffalo Bills from the 2016 Donruss Elite football set from Rich who runs All Star Sports Cards The 2016 Donruss Elite set is 200 cards, 100 veteran/retired, 100 rookies with 9 parallels (Retail Green, Black #/199, Green #/99, Teal #/75, Red #/49, Purple #/25, Orange #/10, Gold #/1). The set also include a whole bunch of insert sets. I like the card design and while I hate that there are 9 different parallels this set is a perfect vehicle for the different colors. The scans don’t really do these cards justice. They are a good looking card on a pretty thick card stock. Three Base Cards Thurman Thomas #50 Sammy Watkins #55 LeSean McCoy #45 Two Etched in Time Inserts Thurman Thomas #ET-TT Bruce Smith #ET-TT One Pen Pal Rookie Autographs Jonathan Williams #PP-JW I think this might be my next set I attempt to collect. Not only are these some nice looking cards but […]
Ebay Purchase – 7 Buffalo Cards
Sometimes I find a random collection of Buffalo Bills cards on Ebay and, if the price is right, make the purchase. This is a 7 card lot I recently purchased for $14.56, including shipping. I think it’s a pretty good deal for some cards that will go into the personal collection. Take a look. 2013 Press Pass Silver Reflectors #29 EJ Manuel 016/299 2015 Panini Certified Mirror Gold #87 EJ Manuel 21/25 2013 Topps Platinum Autograph Rookie Refractor Patch Frost #ARP-MGO Marquise Goodwin 34/50 This is a great 4 color patch of the Olympic hopeful. While his chance at the Gold medal in Rio this summer may cost him his spot on the Bills roster, this card is great for my personal Bills collection. And it’s an autograph, and it’s numbered to 50. Let’s Go Buffalo! U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!!! 2013 Panini Contenders Playoff Ticket #117 Chris Gragg 22/99 2013 Topps Platinum X-Fractor #128 Robert Woods 2013 Panini Totally Certified Freshman Fabric Totally Red Signatures #241 Robert Woods 60/299 2015 Panini Playbook #37 Jim Kelly & Thurman Thomas 43/299
Jim Kelly – 2015 Donruss Years in the League
So I picked up a couple of these on eBay a while back. The first one (Numbered 5 of 11) was a huge find at $9.99 plus $2.54 shipping. It’s a great price as far as I’m concerned. A low numbered Jim Kelly card for 13 bucks, is a deal I’ll do any day. The second one (Numbered 1 of 11) was a bit more expensive at $17.50 plus $3 for shipping so I got two low serial numbered inserts for about $34. I also saw another one up for $49.99 or best offer but when I went to put in an offer it was gone. So I’ll probably won’t be getting that one. The ultimate goal for me would be to have every single card of a serial numbered set for Jim Kelly. I thought this would be a nice one to try but it’s probably a little unrealistic. If anyone sees one out there let me know.
