DEVONTA SMITH – OUR HISTORY 

Before he ever stepped onto an NFL field, DeVonta Smith reached out to purchase a painting I did of his time at Alabama. That moment always stuck with me - not because of the potential transaction, but because it showed the kind of person he was. Humble. Intentional. A down to earth guy. 

Since then, we’ve built a friendship and have worked together on several projects. I’ve watched his quiet dominance take root in Philadelphia, winning over fans not with flash, but with route-running perfection, toughness, and championship pedigree. From a Heisman winner to a first-round pick to one of the most clutch wideouts this city has ever seen, every season he's elevated.

And then came the moment, when all of that potential, all of that quiet greatness, exploded into a play we’ll never forget. A play that will forever be known as The Dagger.

“THE DAGGER” – WHEN GREATNESS GOES SILENT

There are plays that win games and plays that end them. This one ended it.

With just over two minutes left in the third quarter, the Eagles led 27–0 on football’s biggest stage. Still, no one in Philadelphia was relaxed, not against a team like Kansas City. That’s when head coach Nick Sirianni made the call. Literally. He boldly stated:
“Just call it.”

Jalen Hurts took the snap. DeVonta Smith streaked down the sideline. And then came the moment called by Kevin Burkhardt:

“Now the Eagles get it back... or maybe... THROW THE DAGGER. HURTS GOING DEEP, FOR IT ALL... DEVONTA SMITH!!! HE'S GOT IT!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!”

The throw was flawless. The catch? Even better.
The broadcast gave it a name that stuck instantly: The Dagger.

That touchdown didn’t just stretch the lead. It sealed the game, shut down the Chiefs’ hopes, and became an instant part of Eagles lore. And now, it’s been immortalized.

THE ARTWORK

This design captures the electricity of one of the most defining plays in Philadelphia championship history, DeVonta Smith’s now-iconic touchdown catch, The Dagger. Every visual element explodes with intensity, mirroring the moment itself: a deep sideline shot, perfectly thrown, and hauled in with unmatched grace. It was the final moment that silenced a dynasty and secured a title for Philly.

At the center of the composition stands DeVonta in his signature pose calm, focused, and in total control moments after making the catch. Behind him looms a larger-than-life image from the same play, his mouth wide open in celebration, breaking through a cracked-glass texture that symbolizes the Chiefs’ hopes shattering in real time.

The words “The Dagger” are fractured across the backdrop, visually mimicking the instant the stadium and the city erupted. Subtle textural cues like "World Champions" and shattered red tones emphasize the magnitude of the moment without needing to say the name of the game.

Authenticity Guaranteed (COMING SOON)

All Immortals trading cards now come with a unique, pre-embedded QR code on the back, taking security and authenticity to a new level. When scanned, this code provides direct access to detailed, verifiable information about that specific card. Through our innovative Spector authentication system, each card’s specifications are securely recorded, allowing the owner to distinctly verify what they own. 

  

THE DROP

 What awaits you is not merely a trading card; it is a complete experience. Every facet of this project has been meticulously crafted with an unwavering commitment to detail.

RANDOMIZATION | HOW IT WORKS 

Each limited-edition card in this collection comes factory-sealed and is distributed entirely at random. Our goal is to offer an equal opportunity to all enthusiasts, whether you're making your first collectible purchase or you're a seasoned collector. The excitement lies in the prospect of uncovering something extraordinary. While every card guarantees proper value and excitement, the possibility of receiving something even more exceptional adds to the thrill. As a longtime collector myself, I can attest that the anticipation of the unknown is always the most exhilarating part.

It's important to note that all cards are randomized using two methods: name randomization and an even ratio distribution. Our aim is to ensure fairness for everyone collecting. All card variations are distributed evenly based on the ratio of each variation quantity to the total number of cards in the set, ensuring an equal mix. Names are entered into a random name picker to determine the recipients of each card. Without any bias.

Furthermore, if you purchase multiple cards, your name is entered into the selection pool corresponding to the quantity of cards purchased. For instance, if you order 10 cards, your name is entered 10 times, increasing your chances of pulling a more rare card. This randomized process allows us to maintain fairness while also enabling us to know who receives what card in the event of lost or damaged packages.

PARALLEL ODDS: 32% CHANCE

With every card purchased, you have a 32% chance of pulling a rare parallel variation from this set (details below).

GUARANTEED PARALLEL: 1 IN 4

For every four cards ordered, you’re guaranteed to receive at least one parallel variation. The more you order, the better your odds of landing something rare.

Upon concluding my high school football journey, I had no definitive plans to continue playing in college. Yet, fate had other plans in store for me. Shortly after starting college, I found myself missing football more than I had anticipated. It was during this time that I encountered a group of individuals preparing to try out for the Temple football team. Their determination ignited a fire within me, and the rest, as they say, is history.

For seven rigorous months, I poured my heart and soul into training, pushing myself to new heights. When Temple University's annual walk-on tryouts arrived in the 2012 season, I had a mere 30 minutes to prove myself. To my surprise, I excelled at the tryout, and a week later, life-changing news arrived—I had made the team.

This moment marked a turning point in my life—a small-town athlete earning a spot on a Division I team. It was a euphoric experience, and I embraced it wholeheartedly, giving my all on the field.

However, my football journey was abruptly halted after two seasons, cut short by multiple injuries. Though it was a bitter pill to swallow, I soon came to realize that when one door closes another door opens.

When Art Was a Hidden Talent 

Since childhood, I've harbored a natural interest for art, sketching from the moment I could grasp a pencil. Unsure of my skill level, I found solace and joy in creating daily, capturing the world around me with curiosity and wonder.

For over a decade, my art remained a personal sanctuary, a private pursuit, and a means of self-expression. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I began to glimpse the potential of my artistic endeavors. With the unexpected support of my art teacher, who submitted my work without my knowledge, my creations garnered multiple first-place awards in Montgomery County in 2011.

Simultaneously, during that transformative year, I ventured into the realm of sports art, a minor milestone that hinted at the creative journey yet to unfold.

When Passions Collide 

Throughout my life, my dual passions for art and football occupied the same space yet rarely intersected. By day, I was a football player, and by night, an artist—roles kept separate, known to few. Football always held sway, demanding more time and priority.

My football journey commenced at age ten and concluded at twenty, while my artistic journey began at five and, at thirty-one, feels like it's only just begun. Although one endeavor was cut short, I discovered that my other passion could breathe new life into it.

The lessons learned on the football field—dedication, discipline, and mental fortitude—shaped me into the man I am today. These experiences laid the groundwork for my foray into the art business.

In 2014, following the end of my football career, I reignited my passion for art, this time with a focus on sports. It marked a fresh start, a means to channel my love for football and other sports. Little did I know, this decision would propel me farther than I ever imagined. Sharing my work on social media garnered attention, leading to commissions from friends and family, including former teammates who have since risen to NFL stardom, such as Haason Reddick, Dion Dawkins, and Tyler Matakevich. Since 2014, there has been no turning back.
