Much of the discussion surrounding 1990s Metal Universe parallels is focused on Precious Metal Gems. And for good reason. Their popularity and values are among the strongest of the era. In 1998, SkyBox added Gem Masters to the mix. With each numbered 1/1, these take scarcity to the ultimate level.
1999 Metal Universe Football Gem Masters marked the second year for the parallels. Seldom seen today, with most finding their way into personal collections, this card features Hall of Famer and New York Jets legend Curtis Martin pushing his way downfield, bolstered by both the eye-catching Gem Masters pattern on the front and definitive ""The Only One of One Gem Masters"" statement on the back.
