In The Mail Today-Jersey, Epix, Chrome and more!

    The newest editions to my collection...

Today was an amazing mailday. First thing to talk about is my new jersey that arrived today. I have a rare Reebok Practice Red Shirt jersey, thanks to troynicole33 on eBay!


    One of my favorite sets of all time is the 2013 Rookies & Stars set. It was so colorful and full of awesome designs, I just love the set. So I found this Holofoil card, thanks to sjosing on eBay, #ed 19/99. Take a look!


    Just to let people know, Rookies & Stars used to be an annual set released by Leaf every year. However, Leaf lost their licensing, and sold the name to Panini.

    The parallels are called "Holofoils" in this set, traditionally named by Leaf, with the "Longevity" in the backround. Leaf always had sold the Rookies & Stars Longevity set, which was a higher end release of the product, and that often get's people confused because of the Longevity on the cards.


    Continuing with my 2010 Epix collection, the Epix Silver Parallel arrived today. This one is very much like the gold one that came the other day, it's just #ed to 250, and isn't gold foiled. A special thanks to sm3inc on eBay! Take a look!


    My 2013 Topps Chrome Xfractor arrived today. If you're not sure what an Xfractor is, check out the Refractor Explanation label on the right sidebar of the page. Thanks to desertlvr49 on eBay for this one!


    A 2008 Leaf Rookies & Stars Gold jersey also came today. It's not numbered, but it sure looks pretty! Thanks to yankeephanatic609 on eBay for this card!


    There's my Mail Day! Sure was great!

JMJ + God Bless!

Game to Remember- First 400 yard game


    September 20th, 2009. Rivers was the second week into his 4th season as the starting QB for the San Diego Chargers, coming off a fantastic Monday Night late opener in Oakland where the Chargers had just outlasted the Oakland Raiders 24-20. Against a fantastic defense led by Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Ed Reed, Rivers hit home on 25 passes gaining 436 yards and 2 TD's, still just missing the win by loosing 31-26. Darren Sproles AND Vincent Jackson both shared 100 yard receiving games. It was the first of 6 400 yard games in his career, and remains the 2nd highest total in his personal history,
