ONE LAST CARD FOR THE PLAYER COLLECTIONS. THIS IS A BIGGUN
1997 TOPPS GALLERY JESSIE TUGGLE PLAYER'S PRIVATE ISSUE
THIS WAS A LAST-DAY OF THE SALE PICKUP. I FOUND THIS PLAYERS PRIVATE ISSUE VERSION OF TUGGLE'S GALLERY CARD WHILE TRYING TO BOOST MY TCDB RANKING. IT WAS A GOOD PRICE BUT WASN'T ACTUALLY ON SALE SO I LEFT THE TAB OPEN TO THINK ABOUT IT AND THE NEXT MORNING I SAW THAT THE PRICE HAD GONE FROM BLUE TO GREEN WITH A RED DISCOUNT PERCENTAGE NEXT TO IT AND HAD NO MORE EXCUSES. PRIVATE ISSUE CARDS TRADE GALLERY'S USUAL PICTURE FRAME DESIGN FOR THIS BLACK STEEL STAIRCASE KINDA THING THAT LETS YOU KNOW PRECISELY HOW OFF-CENTER THE CARD IS. IT WORKS WELL WITH THE BLACK IN THE FALCONS' UNIFORMS AND WAIT, IS THAT A JERRY RICE CAMEO IN THE BACKGROUND?
THE OTHER FUN THING ABOUT PLAYER'S PRIVATE ISSUE CARD IS THEY ARE LIMITED TO 250 TOTAL CARDS ISSUED. SO NOT SUPER RARE, BUT NOT TERRIBLY COMMON EITHER. THANKFULLY IT'S NOT ACTUALLY SERIAL NUMBERED BECAUSE 90S CARDS + SERIAL NUMBERS = $$$ NOW THAT DEALERS HAVE CAUGHT ON THAT NOT ALL 90S CARDS ARE JUNK. IT'S NICE TO FIND ONE OF THESE ODD 90S PARALLELS AT ALL AND ESPECIALLY NICE TO FIND ONE FOR A PLAYER YOU ACTUALLY COLLECT. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY NEW TUGGLE CARDS SINCE THIS ONE (OR UPDATED TCDB PLAYER COLLECTIONS IN A WHILE FOR THAT MATTER) BUT MY CURRENT TUGGLE COUNT IS 103 CARDS OUT OF A TOTAL 276. BUT! 33 OF THOSE ARE FROM 2020 OR LATER AND MOST OF THOSE ARE AUTOGRAPHS OR SERIAL NUMBERED UNDER 100 OR BOTH. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING 37.3% OF POSSIBLE TUGGLE CARDS I'M WELL OVER 40%. WHICH, TO BE FAIR, AIN'T GREAT BUT IT'S STILL GOOD ENOUGH FOR #1 ON TCDB. PLUS I'VE STILL NEVER PLUNDERED MY SORTED FOOTBALL SETS FOR MORE TUGGLES. I COULD BE OVER 50% IN NO TIME! MEANWHILE THERE'S PROBABLY A DOZEN HARDCORE FALCON FANS WITHIN 50 MILES OF ME WHO HAVE THEIR COLLECTIONS IN ORDER THAT HAVE EVERY ONE OF TUGGLE'S CARDS FROM HIS PLAYING DAYS. BUT THEY'RE NOT ON TCDB
