Recall Mailday: Playoff Cards

The past 2 weeks have brought 2 more Playoff Rookie cards to my collection, so I figured I'd take a minute to talk about them.

1. Playoff Hogg Heaven 2004 Rookie Hoggs insert (#ed 084/750)

From what I can tell, Playoff made, in 2004, a set called Hogg Heaven and included several insert sets within the set. This insert card, Rookie Hoggs, was a numbered and rare insert. The set is not listed in the monthly Beckett card values, but this is still a nice card I estimate is worth around $5 to add to the collection.

Also, in 2014, Playoff released a high end set, Honors, where all of the Rookie cards were jersey relic cards. All of the pieces were used at the 2004 NFL Rookie Premier, the most authentic NFL Rookie piece you can get in a card before the season starts.

So, I added a 2004 Playoff Honors Rookie Tandems card, booked at $20 (I payed $5 for it) where Rivers is teamed with Saints WR Devery Henderson. Not exactly sure why they are teamed up on this card.

So there you have it, today's look at my Rivers collection!

Sorry About the Delay!

I'm sorry I delayed on my posts. First my work hours increased, and then my computer broke and I don't exactly need it at the moment with my smartphone around.

I'm going to work on re-cataloging my collection, showing you what I have in the collection and try to take the time to post something whether about a new item received in the mail or a Rivers fact.
