Always loved trying to decipher the UD3 card number code... lol 3 different variants to each card, but different photos and effects... then a die cut version of each of those! might as well be 3 separate sets. Each one is cool, tho... Too bad they don't do as many parallels now! .....oh.... wait.....
 
I take it you were not the Arkansan that hit the 1.7 billion Powerball jackpot the other day or that Irvin card would have been gold and diamonds!
Sure wasn't... don't know who won, but ticket was sold a little northeast of Little Rock. About 2 and a half hours away. Fun "what if" question is what would your first big purchase be if you won the lottery... mine would be a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO Aperta. Then a congressman. lol

I'd buy the Polish women's national track and field team. For my own use of course. LMAO!!

On a not as fun side I'd buy a high grade 1965 Topps Football set.

Now that's a really interesting question, if limited to a collectible purchase. Maybe a 1914 Ruth RC or a Cracker Jack Joe Jackson or a Mantle rookie or a National Chicle Bronco Nagurski. Something old in the highest grade possible.
 
Man o' man did this guy have himself a game yesterday!! #4 on the All-Time Rushing TD List. Could very well move into #3 by the end of the season.... let's play a game.... he's got 122 (#4). Marcus Allen has 123 (#3). If Henry gets 3 more in the next game he'll be at 125, 20 shy of Tomlinson who sits at #2 comfortably with 145. How many more seasons does Henry have? He'll be 32 in a week and has been in the league 10 seasons. He's averaged 13 TD's over those 10 seasons... if he plays 2 more seasons he'll be 34, and assuming he gets 3 TD's next week and 13 the next 2 seasons (each) he'd be sitting nicely at the #2 spot with 151 Tuddies... only 13 shy of tying Emmitt at 164. That could all be "Best case scenario".... If he goes 0-fer next week he'll need 23 to tie Tomlinson and 24 take the #2 spot. There's a breaking point for everyone, what if he just loses his mojo and can't find it (ala Austin Powers) and tanks the next few seasons "only" getting 10 rushing TD's in each of his next 2 seasons? He would be sitting at 142 Touchdowns for his career. 3rd behind Emmitt and LaDainian, with 3 more needed to reach #2. Does he have 3 more seasons in him? Hard to say... he's 6' 2'' and 252lbs. That's alot of beef to be performing at his expected level going into season 13, if he gets to it at all...
Personally, I'd love to see him tear it up next week and move to #3. He'd be salivating for 20+ and could very well will his mind and body to 146 in 2 or, more likely, 3 seasons. I don't think he'll get the crown of All-Time Leader, though. There can only be one King in that regard, and his name is Emmitt Smith.

Strange how no one ever seems to go after his cards. It seems the NFL and football card collecting has devolved into a QB only hobby and has been that way for years. We both remember the 1990s where Emmitt and Barry cards were as sought after as any QB but those days seem to be over.

Like my Cowboys PC I try to get a RC, Multi-Colored Patch Card, and Auto of each player... try to carry that over into the Football PC but if I find a patch card or auto of someone I like I usually talk myself into getting a Cowboys card.
I do have a RC and Patch card of Henry, his auto might take a while to get... but man he is awesome!! Have a cool lower end card of his coming that's a keeper...
