Since the current US economy is doing so well, I see no way that this idea can possibly fail. Someone who's been spending a bit too much time collecting Eli Manning rookie cards has a proposition for you. How about 136 Eli Manning rookie cards with his autograph on them for the low, low price of......$8 million.Now, I know exactly what you're thinking. That seems a bit high for a set of cards that are collectively probably worth only about $50,000 (if that). Ah, but here's what boosts the price up friends:
Except for scanning, the cards have not been exposed to light, excessive handling, or a smoking environment.
All are currently in safe deposit boxes.

That's pretty good, but I need something more to make me part with my remaining $7,980,000. Perhaps the cards could give me a massage, or at least take me dinner. So what else you got?
Should I get an irresistable offer on the collection, I will also give the buyer the following items for sale.
2004 NFL Draft Class Autographed Football Eli Manning
2004 NFL Draft Class RC Autos Eli Manning Philip Rivers
2004 NFL Draft Class Autographed Football Eli Manning
2004 NFL Draft Class RC Autos Eli Manning Philip Rivers
A few more autographs? Well that's all I needed to hear, now where's my wallet?
Honestly, I'm not sure what the hell this guy is thinking. I don't care if these cards wipe my own ass for me, I'm not paying $8 million for a stash of autographed rookie cards of a guy that won't even be going to the Hall of Fame. And no one else will be either. Or at least I sure hope not.
