Justin Jefferson

I think it's pretty universally accepted by collectors that pulling Panini Rewards points from a pack of cards is a bit of a disappointment, especially when you're expecting to get an actual autograph. However, on their website they do actually release some pretty cool cards. One such card that I found was a Justin Jefferson Legacy Rookie Patch autograph. This particular card is numbered /199. I went on their website right at 8am the day this was released and used 900 of my 1000 Rewards points. It's a good thing I was on there right when it was available because they were immediately gone once I picked it up. As you can see below, it's a pretty cool card and the patch seems to be part of his number because you can slightly see some purple cloth next to it, which is game used. I was also debating on whether to get the Aaron Donald or John Stockton auto cards that were also released. Overall, I like my choice.

John Stockton

 One of the notoriously tough autographs to get among all modern era sports figures, I saw recently that John Stockton was going to be doing an ultra rare signing. After looking at the prices, I decided that they were on the pricey side, so instead looked into getting a card off eBay. It is often the case that signings are more expensive than getting an auto card from Panini or Topps, etc. because you can send in exactly what you want to get signed. I don't typically complain about pricing for signings, but I did observe that the cost to send in my own card was 4-5x what buying a John Stockton signed card off eBay would cost. Therefore, I found a fairly priced one and went that direction.  As you can see, I went with an Obsidian auto and this particular card is numbered /35.

John Elway

 My Hall of Fame and elite quarterback train is still steaming along, as I just added a signed John Elway card to my collection. This card comes from 2023 Prestige football, is numbered /25. I saw that a lot of people were having a lot of luck with their hits in Prestige megas in retail, though the few boxes I opened were crap. I jumped into the eBay market to get this card, as card prices have come down and you can get some of these all time greats for much less than even a year ago. Honestly, I bought this card for the price of two mega boxes, so I'm not sure what I'm even doing buying sealed product in the first place.

 Much like the Dan Marino and John Elway autos I have posted about recently, I also acquired a Joe Montana Panini autographed card.  Like the Marino card, this is also a blue cracked ice numbered /75. Of the big name, all tike great QB's in the league, I believe the only one I might be missing still is Tom Brady. It might be a while yet before I find a way to get something he signed into my collection.
