2004 Press Pass Reflectors #R45 Eli Manning PSA 9 – A Rare POP 2 Rookie of a Super Bowl Legend

By 2004, Eli Manning was one of the most highly anticipated quarterbacks to enter the NFL, following in the footsteps of his legendary brother Peyton Manning and father Archie Manning. Selected first overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and immediately traded to the New York Giants, Manning was expected to lead the franchise back to championship glory. Over his 16-year career, he did just that, earning two Super Bowl victories (XLII, XLVI) and two Super Bowl MVP awards, becoming one of the most clutch quarterbacks in NFL history. His legendary upsets over Tom Brady and the undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII cemented his status as a Giants icon, and he retired with 57,023 passing yards and 366 touchdowns, putting him among the all-time greats at the position.

This 2004 Press Pass Reflectors #R45 Eli Manning is a rare PSA 9 example, featuring the Reflectors parallel, a more limited and desirable version of his Press Pass rookie card. The foil finish and reflective design make this card stand out among early Eli Manning rookie issues. The centering is strong, the corners remain crisp, and the surface is exceptionally well-preserved, making this an outstanding high-grade collectible. Given the limited print run of Reflectors parallels, this is a much scarcer early rookie card of Manning compared to standard releases from 2004.
