2012 Certified Jimmy Smith Rainbow

[Rocketman12]

I am probably the only person in the world who cared, but Panini included six cards of Jimmy Smith in their Certified release this year -- his first new cards since 2006. I am very pleased to have found them all before the end of the year (got the Mirror Blue in the mail today), especially since the two Mirror Blacks are 1/1's. The NFL logo card does have some minor damage, but I'm still thankful to Panini for giving me something new to chase. And thanks also to everyone who clicked on this thread knowing they might have to look at Jimmy Smith cards!

Awesome Jimmy's! This set is one thing Panini did right this (last) year.

Card companies need more quad auto's of Brunell, Fred Taylor, McCardell & Smith for you to chase ! LOVE them !!!

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I would love a licensed dual auto of Brunell/Smith or triple auto of Brunell/Taylor/Smith, but none exist so far. I even thought about having Leaf make a custom cut of Brunell/Smith, but I can't find a Jimmy Smith signature that would fit on a card and isn't already in trading card form.
