I have to say my Rollie Fingers player collection has really taken a back seat to just about every other collecting goal and aspiration.  I blame the total lack of new Rollie this year.  Yes there have been a few auto cards and I've been picking them up pretty cheaply here or there.  But Rollie hasn't been featured in a base set in a couple years by Topps so there's not too much to chase.

So we'll dip into the old collection.  

Here's another color variant or parallel or whatever from Donruss' Playoff Prestige Prestigious Pros set.  There's a whole rainbow to collect.  The red cards are numbered to 700 and look like all the other variations, just this one has red foil.

2005 Donruss Champions Impressions Red parallel

Nothing like a mid 2000's Donruss set with a ton of parallels. Here we have the Red Foil Impressions parallel.  By my count Rollie has 8 parallels in this set not counting the printing plates and one relic card.  The only difference between this card and the base and all the other parallels is the foil color, the impressions stamp in the center of the card, and that it's serial numbered to 250.

Basically this card is designed for the relic and autographed versions that some of these cards have.  But as a base card and as a silly parallel to the base card this card has so much wasted and unused space. Really the whole right side of this card is nothing.  It's one of the main failings of a lot of inserts and parallels from this time frame and still happens all the time today.
