For today, since I'm still waiting on a big one in the mail, I'll go with a card that got me really into card photography.
I have always cataloged my collection by taking pictures and organizing them into albums on my phone. This card was like looking into a mirror in person, but was like the most boring and dull card in photos. That sent me on a journey to figure out the best ways to coax out the beauty of my 90s Larkin collection.
These days, my photobox setup against a black backdrop seems to be my go to method. But natural light is always king. So this photo was taken outside at about 2 pm on a sunny day with a nice blue sky with a few scattered clouds reflecting off the mirror like surface of the card.
The card is a 1999 Fleer Brilliants Gold parallel numbered to 99. There is an even more shiny parallel in this set called 24 Karat, numbered to just 24. I am still searching for that one. Until I find it, this beauty will have to suffice.
