SPECTOR X BRANDON GRAHAM - "BREAKTHROUGH" - Official IMMORTALS Trading Card II (DROPS 3/7)
ONTO THE NEXT ON…
On November 9th, everything in my world shifted. Releasing my inaugural trading card featuring Brian Dawkins marked a milestone, one met with an overwhelming response. To those who embraced this momentous occasion by adding my first card to their collection, I extend my deepest gratitude. And to those who are just joining the Immortals journey, welcome aboard.
Crafting my premier trading card was a journey in itself, yet it served as just the genesis of a grander vision. It wasn't merely about creating one card—it was about igniting a revolution. As I pondered how to follow up with a sophomore card of equal magnitude, the answer became clear: Brandon Graham.
As the longest-serving Eagle in history, Graham epitomizes the essence of Philadelphia, endearing himself to fans as a true favorite. More notably, his pivotal sack stands as an indelible moment in Eagles history, etched in the hearts of fans forever.
IMMORTALS TRADING CARDS
Immortals trading cards offer a redefined perspective on remarkable individuals who have undeniably shaped our sports world. These cards celebrate a legacy that transcends time, a career that remains unforgettable. Immortal trading cards capture a unique moment in history, one that has never been portrayed quite like this before. It's not just the person and their legacy that endure, but also the timeless artistry of the cards themselves.
“BREAKTHROUGH” THE SACK HEARD AROUND THE WORLD
That 2 and 2 play with 2:16 remaining on the clock in the biggest game stands as an indelible moment in the hearts of Philadelphia Eagles fans, a triumph that will be cherished for generations. It marked the first title in the history of the City of Brotherly Love, a crowning achievement celebrated with pure passion.
Among the myriad of memorable moments and standout players from that game, one play stands out above the rest—the Brandon Graham sack on Tom Brady. This singular event, arguably one of the most pivotal in Eagles history, resonates as a defining moment of the game. It was more than just a sack; it was the decisive blow that sealed the fate of the match, signaling to all that victory was within reach. In that instant, Brandon Graham ascended to legendary status, inscribing his name into the chronicles of Eagles lore.
What makes this moment all the more iconic is Graham's distinction as the sole player to secure a sack and force a turnover on the Eagles defense. This play immortalized BG and solidified his place in Eagles history for eternity.
For me, there was no better player to collaborate with than BG. His prowess on the field is matched only by his character off it. His boundless enthusiasm, radiant personality, and infectious smile have endeared him to fans, making him a true favorite. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to immortalize this iconic moment with Brandon, and to relive the magic of that sack like never before.
THE DETAILS
Since that pivotal moment, this single play has become a centerpiece adorning the walls of countless Eagles fans' homes. While numerous images capture this iconic tackle, there remained an angle yet to be explored. True to my artistic approach, I was driven to reimagine this moment in an unprecedented way. Picture witnessing this play unfold in real time: witnessing BG's impactful collision and savoring the expression of defeat on number 12's face. That was my vision, and I brought it to life.
No existing images capture this particular angle, but I sought to authentically recreate what it might have looked like as the events unfolded. Brandon Graham surges forward, catching Brady off guard. With flawless execution, BG wraps up Brady while expertly dislodging the football. Brady's discomfort is palpable as he succumbs to defeat, falling backwards. Yet, this moment is just the beginning. In the background, the glass reaches its breaking point, shattering into countless pieces. This shattered glass not only symbolizes the literal impact of the sack but also the metaphorical significance of the Eagles breaking through decades of struggle to claim their first World Championship.
Within the glass reflection, a montage of moments unfolds: Brandon Graham celebrates in triumph, kisses the Lombardi trophy, and a side view captures the famous sack, while Brady sits in defeat on the ground.
On the reverse side of the card, the narrative deepens, adorned with intricate details. Logos for Immortals, Operation Kids Next Door Foundation, and the Team Graham Logo take center stage, accompanied by the signatures of both the Artist and the Athlete. Further enriching the narrative are personal quotes from both Brandon Graham and myself. Notably, BG reflects on achieving his first double-digit sack season during his 13th year as a professional.
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.
THE CHASE | HOW IT WORKS
Each limited-edition card in this collection comes factory-sealed and is distributed entirely at random. Should you come across rare card variants, they will replace a base card inside the box. Our goal is to offer an equal opportunity to all enthusiasts, whether you're making your first card purchase or you're a seasoned collector. The excitement lies in the prospect of uncovering something extraordinary—perhaps it's the elusive one-of-one card or a emerald galaxy parallel card adorned with an autograph. While every card guarantees proper value and excitement, the possibility of receiving something even more exceptional adds to the thrill. As a longtime card 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. Parallels are distributed evenly based on the ratio of parallels to base cards in the set, ensuring an equal mix. Names are entered into a random name picker to determine the recipients of the parallel cards versus base cards. 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 parallel 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. It also ensures that we can verify the original recipients and holders of these cards, safeguarding against potential forgeries.

INTRODUCTION: TWO PASSIONS CONVERGE
The Walk-On Triumph
As a child, I was deeply rooted in two passions: football and art. Little did I imagine that someday, these two worlds would converge to shape my career. From the age of 5 to the end of high school, I indulged in art as a hobby, a talent hidden within me. Alongside, I pursued my love for football, balancing both with enduring passion.
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 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.
Brandon Graham: The Sack Heard Around The World
Brandon Graham, a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles, is a beloved figure in the hearts of Eagles fans. Since his draft in 2010, Graham has been a stalwart presence on the field, earning accolades and admiration for his unwavering dedication to the team.
However, it was one moment that etched Graham's name into Eagles lore forever. In the biggest game, he delivered a game-changing strip sack on Tom Brady, securing the Eagles' first-ever World Championship victory. This iconic play epitomizes Graham's indomitable spirit and unmatched determination.
Beyond his on-field heroics, Graham's vibrant personality and genuine interactions with the community have endeared him to fans. His infectious smile and playful demeanor embody the spirit of Philadelphia.
BGs unforgettable Tom Brady Sack and his one-of-a-kind personality are two things’ fans alike will never forget
The Time Has Come
As we transitioned from 2020 into 2021, the world witnessed significant shifts, simultaneously so did the cards and collectibles market. During this period, Topps, a leading entity in the industry, introduced some of their most successful projects yet, including Topps 2020 and Topps Project 70, among others. These ventures were marked by collaborations with various artists and boasted sales figures in the millions.
It became increasingly apparent to me during this period that I held the reins to pursue my trading card aspirations. After meticulously crafting the blueprint and unveiling my inaugural trading card featuring Brian Dawkins in 2023, everything shifted. This wasn't merely the introduction of a single card; it marked the birth of an entirely new brand—Immortals Trading Cards. Now, in 2024, Immortals ventures forward with Brandon Graham at its forefront.Top of Form
