Time for Defensive Players?

This stuff is all on my IG, but if you want to see the others I haven't shown off yet shoot me a follow and I'll be posting them eventually!

Truly incredible collection. Congrats. What led you to collect Jalen Ramsey?

I removed the photos so that this is not a huge post. My favorite Ramsey card is the Immaculate with the Jaguars Eye staring me down!!!

Thanks! It was really the perfect storm.

1) I’m a player collector and very picky about who I chase.

2) I’ve always appreciated defense in football as much and usually more than offense. The hobby isn’t represented that way in pricing, and the gap was even worse 3-4 years ago, it was and remains a really good niche. Defensive superstars are still so affordable.

3) I am a Jaguars/FSU fan, so a player of his caliber was easy to latch on to. He’s the only active athlete I collect actually!

Thanks! It’s actually game used too, that one would have really tested my strategy of buying game used only on patches if it wasn’t though, haha!

Have bought so many “base” of this card since last September I’ve lost count. Never thought I’d own the grail but made an offer to the owner (best Myles pc around bar none) and he somehow accepted. Over the moon to add this one to the perm pc. Imo one of the best modern defensive cards but I’m also a browns fan with heavy blinders on for days:

Congrats on a sick card. Definitely his best RC card.
Any idea where the Select XRC Black is?

Appreciate the perspective. We are certainly aligned on a lot of these points. Are you still picking up Ramsey cards, or did you push pause when he made the move to the Rams?

Isaiah Simmons seems to get quite a bit of love from members on this forum. Love the gold and cosmic Selects. Can’t say I know much about Brian Burns

Wow. This one’s a monster… I’d love to add a black finite to my PC players one of these days

People are posting some awesome cards in here. Keep it up

As a Jaguars fan it would have been easy to push pause but I "pushed" through haha. That 2017 season still haunts me on a daily basis though..

Just missing the Black and Black Disco 1/1's to finish his Mosaic parallel and insert runs from 2020 if anyone runs into them!

Thanks man. Absolutely respect your stuff, think when I realized FL wasn't happening that allowed me to go higher on the prizm and so glad I did. No clue on the XRC. I'm cashed so go get it if it pops up lol.

Thanks man. I've always been on defensive guys here and there so love the thread. I think QBs have gotten so high (not a bad thing, product of what we turned the hobby into), new folks entering will see prices of those guys and see defensive guys for a fraction of the price and see immediate value. So imo it's only going to gain more traction from here.

Exactly this anymore in the age of a gajillion different products and parallels & hype/flipping. I like D players but really only buy a couple of the 1's I like or stuff for sets. I did collect Ty Law some & a couple others.
Have more that needs rescanned/pic'd...

Love the certified patches. Those TX Exclusive autos are really nice as well.

Nice, I agree - prefer his Optic rookie over his combine Prizm card. Picked up a low-end parallel recently:

I apologize in advance for all the pics but I don't get to show these bad boys off very often. I've added more (namely another Gold Prizm RC /10) Always looking for NT autos if you have any for sale. I own 83 of the 183 National Treasures autos of DeMario Davis. There are (4 plates--need 1, 1/1--need, /5--need 1, /25--need 9, /49, /99)

Contenders 1/1's and Variation Autos

Holy crap man. That is quite the super collection. Just curious, what led you to super collect DeMario Davis?

[weeds73]

Love the flawless ruby four color patch you have for Ty Law. Great looking cards

Thanks man. He went to college at Arkansas State, same as me. We rarely turn out good NFL players, and even more rare that they have NFL cards. Other than that I love the way he plays 110% all the time and is a great leader who I've enjoyed watching for many many years.

It is great to see guys from lesser-known programs have long careers in the NFL.
