Heck yes!!!

Not for sale but I'll take the opportunity to show off my PMGs:

1998:



1999:



The baseball cards are sort of burying the lede, though, since I have these two football ones:



Plus the regular red versions of these two and Lorenzo Neal. The Back of the Dilfer (first 15 were green, last 135 red):



And the regular/50 1998 Dilfer as well as the unnumbered bankruptcy version, and the Gem Masters 1/1...unnumbered bankruptcy card.

Heck yes!!!

THAT CONSECO IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I HAVN'T SEEN ONE ON EBAY IN YEARS. LOL.

Oh wow, I think we're looking at the best Trent Dilfer cards money can buy right here.
Not only do they appeal to Dilfer collectors, but also PMG collectors.

I used to collect basketball cards, but have since moved onto baseball/football PMGs. I'll post here periodically!

I bought a 98 Damion Easley a few years ago just to see what they looked like. If I ever unload it, you'll be the first to know. I'm bummed they never did the green/red PMGs for baseball.

I love the background that Easily has, and would love to buy it from you if you want to sell it.

Thank you!

I totally forgot for a bit that I actually pulled a football Green PMG from a box back in the day. Christmas 1999 I got a box of 1997 Metal and pulled this (forgive the old terrible scan):



Kordell Stewart 1997 Green Precious Metal Gems 007/150 (first 15 green). I wanted to trade rather than sell but I wanted cards for my main collection (Trent Dilfer) so it was tough to match up with anybody...I ended up trading it to a Steelers fan for a 1999 Pacific Blue/75 Brett Favre and some other low-end stuff. This was back when Favre was the man in football so it's not quite as bad as it sounds, but with hindsight it was pretty awful. I can't remember if I ended up trading or selling the Favre, but the biggest Dilfer collector at the time lived in Wisconsin so there's a good chance I did at least end up trading it to him for some nice stuff I still have in my collection. Kind of makes me wonder where the Kordell Stewart is now, though.

Haha man, don't blame you moving Kordell for Favre. Who would have known these cards would have exploded in terms of popularity and value.
PMG's truly are one of the most beautiful cards of all time.

Hey, that Kordell is kickass. I kinda met the guy when I was at CU back in the day. I was throwing the football around with some buddies when the ball flew out into the street. He was walking by and threw it back in, and one of the guys said hey, that was Kordell Stewart! We all said that was pretty cool, and went back to what we were doing. This was before he was "Slash". Nice memory.

And a badass card too. Especially since you pulled it! Kordell was a legit dude.
