Figured I was overdue for a showoff thread of my Calvin Johnson PC. If anyone has anything to contribute to the collection, feel free to hit me up.

2007 had some really nice RC designs. I love the contenders most of all. Every year it's the best FB RC set out there, IMO.

I've always thought the Playoff RCs from this year were underrated. Really cool card design. This is the /10 version.

Topps Chrome also was a classic design this year. There are shorter-printed color parallels but I love a good team color parallel.

Also Finest. Why not, right? This is the /10 parallel.

Of course, everyone loves a good ol' 1/1. The Phoenix is coupled with a black /10. I think Phoenix is a very underrated product. Very cool card design. I love the Prizm Tie Dye buyback but that case is so scratched up. I would like to send it in to PSA to get a new case. Maybe. I'd like opinions on that.

This is another one of my favorite cheap cards. Not a very sought after set but I love a good action photo and to top it off with a cracked ice finish was a no-brainer.

This particular Obsidian set has a really sleek design. This is the /5 parallel but I would love to get my hands on one of those elusive white /7.

Another set that isn't very expensive but I love the look. The red parallels look awesome and are /25. Honestly most Optic card photos don't do them justice. Way better in hand. I am very much on the hunt for a /10 auto of this card.

I love the Optic Contenders RC reprints. I think they look awesome and are a great way for a collector to own a version of rookie cards that are otherwise out of budget. I just picked up a PSA 10 Rodgers one that is currently on its way. Excellent product.

And last...

Who doesn't love a shield 1/1?

So that's it for now. Will add to this thread as new additions arrive. Thanks for looking!

Those are sooo awesome. I love the team colored parallels as well. Megatron was a beast every year he was in the league.

Very cool CJ collection. Wish he signed more on card stuff.

senorlaverga · 07-24-2020, 03:33 PM

New additions for the week. Of course they were all purchased a few days before the 5% bucks, as it always goes.

Nice stuff.

Those 2007 Blue Chrome look sweet. The red /139 from that set are sharp looking as well.

Love the red but I can’t seem to find one for less than a small fortune.

Nice collection! The only sticker autos that collectors prefer.

jjohnson814 · 07-24-2020, 05:09 PM
