TTM Success Jordy Nelson!!

I had sent to Jordy way back in September.  I had meant to send to him when I did a big Packers mailing in May, but for some reason didn't have any single base card doubles to send.

 If you read regularly you know I'm a huge Jordy Nelson fan.  I'm guessing he's had a little time to answer some fan mail while recouping his hamstring.  Either way I'm super thrilled with this return and can't wait to see him on the field again.

I sent Jordy two of his 2012 Topps Football cards.  One for me and one for my brother who's also a big Jordy fan.

Jordy, Jordy, Jordy!

Man what a great year this kid is having.  I mean he was awesome in the Superbowl and then just carried that through to this season.  Just incredible.  Mix with that the season the Pack is having and that they just offered stock again. It's a great time to be a Packer fan.  Jordy's cards are starting to get some notice with his new found popularity. Luckily I scored this card early last year before he was on a lot of collector's radar.  That's when I picked most of my Jordy auto's and relics.  I can't remember what I paid for this relic, but trust me I got it cheap.  A great rookie card here. Yeah I know that this is all stuff Jordy touched or wore during the Rookie Premiere in 2008, but who cares a great multirelic card.

I remember seeing these cards and thinking wow that's cool. Of course when I got it in hand and saw that it was a Stamps.com stamp, I was slightly less impressed, but the little multicolored patch on the card makes  up for it, that and it's numbered to 25 and a rookie card!  Plus it Jordy Nelson who is with out a doubt my favorite Packer right now, yeap even more favoriter than Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews, and AJ Hawk.

Whew number 40 already.  Getting close to the half way point and like I said your going to start seeing more and more cards from my team and player collections.  I have to say out of the Packers Jordy is my favorite.  I have a totally hetero man crush on him.  I started picking up his higher end autos and relics back in 2009.  He was mainly a punt and kickoff returner, but I could see greatness in there.  And he had his best game of his short career in the Super Bowl last year.  I guess if you're going to have a career game why not in the big one.  Jordy's card prices have slowly been climbing and I've slowed my grabbing, but I ended up getting this sweet SPx  auto jersey for next to nothing last year well before the Packers were contenders.  Probably pretty close to the beginning of the season after Rodgers got hurt and I thought we were done. The only thing better would have been some color in the swatchs.  Anywho...

I've been working my way around my blog family posting various things.  I finally found some time to scan a bunch of stuff.  And I just got a nice rookie card lot of Jordy Nelson in the mail yesterday.  In my opinion one of the most underrated players on the Packers Superbowl team this year.  He's really stepped it up with all the injuries this year and it's nice to see Jordy coming into his own. Once relgated to punt returner he's moved right in to #2 reciever very well.  I've been snatching up auto's and jersey cards for cheap all year. 

The framed UD Masterpieces is a blue parallel numbered to 150.  Plus in the lot was two super shiny chrome rookies and two UD star rookies, one first edition, and an SP.

Here's a look at the backs.  I'm expecting big things from this kid in a few weeks and next year.

I guess I can officially say I've started my Jordy Nelson super collection and I don't expect prices on his cards to stay in the dumper much longer.   Just look at Rodger's prices going through the roof.  I picked up a bunch of base and inserts for Rodgers a few months ago from my LCS.  Don had packs of 25 cards for 5 bucks and I ended up picking up all three Rodgers packs.  I'm glad I did.  Seems cheap now.

Enjoy your Thursday.
