Here is one Burge just sold - real or fake? The Unitas looks off.

I almost sniped it but figured out who was selling it. It looks real but who the hell knows. Burge is a flaming taint lickin ball gurgler.

It's rare that a card matching a rookie and a HOF ends up where the rookie is the better player.

im pretty sure that card was of mannings second year and not rookie year

The card is '99 so it is a second year Manning.

I did confirm that Unitas had serious hand issues late in life. I have not found a link to confirm this but I was told once that Unitas had to learn to write with his other hand due to his throwing hand being so mangled. If that's true it's no wonder the sig varies so much.

I had no idea that burge was selling that other one. I had a bid in and was outbid leading me to purchase the one i posted. Glad i lost given the fact that my money would have been going to that idiot. Thanks snyper for the nice compliment.

Likely no better Colts card ever made. Congrats on the pickup! I'm sure you'll never regret that one.
