NFL LCM Mirror Black 1/1s and Logo Patches

An interesting lot was posted on eBay lately, and I must say, it is quite impressive. Is it $20,000 impressive? No. But that doesnt mean I dont want it. Here is what I know, the guy used to be on one of the message boards and was buying up all the Mirror blacks for his collection.

Secondly, as with most Mirror Blacks, most of them were quite chipped up beyond acceptability, and it became obvious that you get what you see, hence the far away pics in the auction rather than the scans we are used to.

This brings me to another discussion, which has intrigued me for a number of months. If you have the money to listlessly buy these types of cards, is it cooler to have these, or a plethora of other cool auto memorabila cards. For instance, the Mirror Black Peterson should go for about $1100-$1500 these days, and for $1100, you could buy quite a bit of other Peterson stuff. You could definitely buy my collection and a few others. Yet, that slew of cards just doesnt have the pizzazz of the NFL logo cards. They just dont, because you could show a million autos to a guy and he would be impressed, but show him an NFL logo card of a top player, you are going to get a much more enthusiastic reaction.

As for me, I love the logo cards, as long as they are well done. The problem is that while I am a quality over quantity guy, with the logo cards, the quality is there with the cards I would get instead. I would much rather have an Equisite RC Patch Auto than the Mirror black, even though it is 100 times more available. Thats me though. Obviously this guy wanted the Mirror Blacks and logos of a number of good players.
