The Shield


Along with the Pirates I'm an avid WVU collector.  This is a dual NFL shield from National Treasures featuring Jamal Charles and Steve Slaton.  This was my first NFL shield and it is numbered 2/2. I previously featured a logoman of Devin Ebanks.

Slaton cards continue to hold decent value as he is often featured with other running backs from the 08 draft. The RB heavy class featured the likes of Matt Forte, Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson and Ray Rice.  It is a shame that Slaton is no longer in football.  Injuries and fumbling issues derailed a career that started off so promising.

If anybody out there has some good WVU or Pittsburgh Pirates cards I'll be happy to trade.  Just leave a comment or shoot me an email and we can work something out.  I have a trade bait link on the blog, but that is not everything.  Just let me know who you like and we'll get the ball rolling.

      Thanks! I was happy to get it. Normally I stay away from those type of cards because the price is too high, but I was able to get this one at a reasonable price.

    Matthew -- I just followed your blog. I'm a Brewers collector who just started a blog as well at offhiatusbaseball.blogspot.com. I'd love to swap cards with you if you have any Brewers sitting around.

      Hi Tony! I'm sure I have some Brewers sitting around. Obviously I collect Pirates, but also have a large WVU collection. When you get some time email me your address and we'll go from there. I'll add your blog to my reading list.

      Ha. I miss the old rival games. Conference realignment is just depressing. Our closest opponent in the Big 12 is Iowa St and that is about 1200 miles. Seems weird not playing VTech and Pitt. I'll add you to my feed as well.

    Although I am not much into football collecting, that is a sweet looking patch.

    If you ever want to swap some Rockies for some Pirates email me @ hiflewATyahooDOTcom or comment on my blog
