Awesome additions...going back, what was the obvious flaw that caused the 5 surface grade on the Brady?

I've been too lazy to crack it out. I'll try that out before too long to see what's up with it.

Down to one 2004 Finest card!

Sweet additions! Who's the last one?

Thank you!  Big Ben, the costliest of them all.  I plan on selling a couple cards so I can pick up a non-Gem Mint or raw copy.  My pack pulled Eli is a BGS 9 and in 2021 I picked up a BGS 9 of Rivers.  I really enjoy finishing off Finest sets from the years I didn't collect while I was in college.

I still remember the one box I bought five years ago of '04 Finest.  The three hits were an Eli auto base, a Bears Krenzel QB auto refractor, and a JP Losman auto gold refractor.  Would have been an insane box back in the day.

In my previous life as a sports editor I once interviewed Robert Gallery at Raiders training camp in Napa.

To this day he is the largest human being I have ever met in terms f both width and height ... literally blocked out the sun while I was talking to him.

That is awesome!!!

Latest add from 2010 Finest.  I'd love to find the non-refractor version for the set but happy to have an example:

One of the most underrated players of his era, gone too soon.
