No, YOU check out MY cards: October purchase: football awards and excessive title colons edition

Yesterday I covered the baseball and hockey portions of the PC cards I picked up from COMC.  Today you'll see the rest of the package, all of which is headed to my Michigan football collection.  You've seen just about all of these players before, and as such there's not a lot more to say about them, so this time for fun I thought I'd make up an award for each of them.  Please to enjoy the 16 newest members of this PC on this, the day before the Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe:  

Alan Branch 2007 Bowman Chrome auto RC:  Outstanding achievement in the field of making me go "DAMN, Bowman Chrome, you looked FINE in 2007"

Anthony Thomas 2002 Fleer School Colors jersey:  Bipolar Award for making me love the card while reminding me that the Tigers are one game away from losing a pennant

Braylon Edwards 2006 SPx Swatch Supremacy jersey:  Award for the jersey card most likely to make me yawn

Braylon Edwards 2008 Elite Prime Targets jersey:  Serial-numbered jersey most likely to make me yawn (#29/50)

Mike Hart 2008 UD Premier Signature Premier auto:  Best autograph of an Eastern Michigan assistant in this package (#84/99)

Prescott Burgess 2007 Topps Draft Senior Standouts jersey:  Welcome to the PC, you are tremendous award

So after all that, how about some stats:


  • I'm up to 367 cards in my football PC
  • Prescott Burgess became the 55th unique player/coach
  • Braylon Edwards jumps up to 32 cards, leapfrogging Chad Henne (30) for second place, one card behind leader Jake Long
  • David Terrell moves up to his 27th card but remains in 4th
  • I now sit at 241 autographs (including autographed relics)
Well, the way things stand I'm not sure when I'll next acquire anything, be it via a purchase or a trade.  I can promise plenty of complete set content, plus of course I'll come up with other stuff.  Besides that, if there's anything specific you guys would like to see here, please let me know in the comments--I aim to please.
