I picked up the Jessica Long superfractor of card #158 a few months ago. It completed my rainbow, and I thought I would have had it for a long time. Well, a few weeks ago I received a message from someone who turned out to be her brother. He was only missing the super to complete the rainbow and he even had one of the printing plates. I knew exactly what I needed to do, and I sold him the card.
Here are pictures of me holding the card and Jessica herself holding it. ![]()

Well, according to her brother, she doesn't care too much for the cards. She's had some lower-tier cards in the past, but Chrome is a whole new ballgame.

Won't lie my cynical side questioned breaking up your own rainbow as soon as her brother messaged but that's why I don't receive cool things like this in the mail lol honestly though that's super cool and I'd honestly rate it above the card due to it being personal. I'm sure her brother told her who it was for so the personal factor makes it that much better, it's almost like having your own inscriptionlol
