Description The Ultimate 1/1 for the Ultimate Collector: Printing plates are the actual metal plates used in the production process to create the final trading card. Because each color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is represented by only one plate, this card is a guaranteed 1-of-1. There is not another yellow plate for this specific card in existence. National Treasures Prestige: National Treasures is widely considered the "Holy Grail" of modern football card sets. Owning a 1/1 from this specific product—especially of a legendary quarterback like Drew Brees—is the pinnacle of any Saints or NFL collection. Condition: Printing plates are notoriously difficult to grade due to their metal composition and the wear they sustain during the actual printing process. Securing a BGS 9 MINT grade with straight 9 subgrades is an exceptional feat for a plate, making this an elite registry-quality item. Shipping & Handling: The slab will be shipped with extreme care, double-boxed and insured for the full purchase price.
