Some new Ashley Lelie PC items, game-used and cards

Re: Some new Lelie PC items

He played in the XFL?

I don't think he did, he was still in the NFL during the XFL's one season. If I remember right he last played for the Raiders in '08, they hardly used him. Nice kid, I met him while he was still playing for UH.

Yeah, I don't think he played in the XFL or any other Non-NFL league. Once he left Denver, he bounced around with a few teams. After being released by a horrible Chiefs team during the 2009 preseason he decided to retire and go back to Hawaii to finish his degree and help the football team.

Sweet memorabilia and I really like the signed mini-helmet because it's with his college teams mini-helmet that's really cool.

Thanks, as he bounced around the NFL with a few different teams, I thought it would be best just to have a generic NFL logo helmet signed rather than one for each short career stop but the Hawaii helmet was an easy choice.

I made the XFL comment because the Hawaii helmets always make me think of the Hitmen helmets from the XFL.

Re: Some new Lelie PC items

I wanted to share a few of the recent additions to my collection. Slowly, making progress with my attempt to complete the 2002 master set, at least one of every RC card produced.

This Jersey Numbered card 10/50 finishes off the 2002 Hot Prospects Set

Another jersey numbered card 10/50, this one autographed.

A rare jersey that I have had a hard time finding

Not the best looking card (giant silver sticker auto) but it's his only 1/1 RC autograph and has a nice Hawaii jersey picture.

The gold refractor auto is a new pickup and should complete the Finest set, as I've never seen a 2002 year RC xfractors auto of any player.

While the last couple of months have been really slow on my 2002 year rookie card set (nothing new to show), I was able to recently acquire some really cool memorabilia,

2003 road game-used jersey.

The new centerpiece to my collection, rookie season (2002) game-used helmet.

As usual, I'm always interested in anything that would be new to my 2002 year collection

Love seeing the new pickups - how many cards are you down to needing for the complete run? Any aside from the Finest X-Fractor that you don't think exist?

 

[auburn35]

This is my need list (around 30 cards) but I would be interested in anything "new" (different color GU pieces, special serial numbers,…) for duplicates that I already have.

The 2002 SP authentic patch auto (redemption) was never fulfilled, so my only hope is that Ashley kept a few copies from Upper Deck. I asked him to look, when he has the time to go through the boxes of manufacture cards he received.

Just so you know, in the mid-2000 guys super collected Mo Morris of the Seattle Seahawks, I never saw him having a Finest xref auto so I am pretty sure that they don't even exist.

Yeah, I don't believe they exist (at least were never released) but it gives me something to search for, while trying to complete the 2002 year player set.

It's been a few moths since my last update, as I haven't been able to find that many new cards but this one stood out from my recent pickups.

I now have NFL gamers from all of the teams he played for.


2006 Atlanta Falcons Home jersey that the medical staff removed because of a separated shoulder. Not the greatest memory but an interesting story.

Oakland Raiders Road Jersey with Gene Upshaw patch

San Francisco 49ers Home Jersey

Not a real update but I should have a nice mailday soon (signed jerseys from above and some other items) but first wanted to share an interesting addition to my PC.
Does anyone keep/collect electronic signatures? I thought it was cool.

 

[auburn35]

I will get photos of the other autographed items up in the next couple of days but wanted to share this item, as it was created with the assistance of a couple of very nice FCB members.

@JBel4331 Was very helpful with the design of the custom card.

@sneekc Took the design and was able to construct the card.

Both of them did great work, I truly appreciated the help and think the card (with auto) turned out great.

 

[auburn35]

A few more updates from my recent mail day.

Two autographed game jerseys and the missing "0" from my rookie jersey pieces that I acquired after someone decided to transform a Lelie jersey into another Broncos player, after he was traded. As the "1" was already autographed I thought I would have Ashley add an inscription to the "0"
Someday I hope to find a blank 2002 year jersey and recreate the rookie jersey with these pieces.

Nice collection of jerseys etc...

That's a damn good looking custom card

The last couple of weeks have been really good at knocking a few more cards of my want list. More "new" cards found than the previous couple of years total.

This card completes the 2002 Leaf Certified set


This card completes the 2002 Adrenaline set



My first printing plate additions. I have been looking for 8+ years only to have two of the only four pack issued plates show up during the same week, strange but very nice.




These Pacific cards were never pack issued but thought they were neat and fit nicely into my 2002 master set attempt.



This nice Football patch gets me closer to completing the Sweet Spot set.


And my new signature shows off the completed 2002 Elite set (with the 2002 National promotional variations /5)

Another neat pickup. Rookie year Broncos playbook with all kinds of interesting notes.

If you happen to find a duplicate of this, I would pay handsomely!

Sure, I will keep my eye out for another.
