Holy
crap, it is amazing what an insane output in a game will do for a players
card prices. Yesterday I was writing up my post that I planned on posting tomorrow
where I was going to highlight a couple of Nick Foles cards that I just picked
up to add to my University of Arizona personal collection. I had even pointed
out that with the way things were going for Philly Foles’ card prices had
finally begun to level out to a realistic price point.
He
went in to today’s game against the Raiders with only 90 pass attempts for 622
yards and 6 TDs-0 INTs, which gave him a 101.3 QB Rating. This was a game where the Raiders were favored
by 3 points, Foles was just supposed to play his best while Vick rested up his
hamstring but instead Foles went freaking loco on the Raiders defense. He ended
going 22-28 for 406 yards, a record tying 7 TD passes and a perfect 158.3 QB
rating.
While
I am extremely happy for his great game, I am disappointed because I was just
looking forward to adding some more of his cards to my collection and now the
prices are on the way up again. As much as I hate to say it, I don’t expect to
see his stat lines looking like this too often, this was a once in a lifetime
game for him but at least he can be proud of the record that he earned.
