Description
1997 SkyBox Metal Universe Emmitt Smith (Precious Metal Gems-Green) #126 PSA EX 5 - #'d 015/150 - Pop One, Four Higher! Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher and a three-time Super Bowl champion, remained one of the most consistent and productive backs in league history well into the late 1990s. In 1997, the year this card was issued, Smith led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 12 and surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the seventh consecutive season, further solidifying his Hall of Fame résumé. This 1997 SkyBox Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Green, #126, is serial-numbered out of 150 and represents one of the rarest and most coveted inserts of the era. Graded PSA EX 5, it captures a living legend during the prime of his dominance with the Dallas Cowboys.The Precious Metal Gems (PMG) series debuted in 1997 as part of SkyBox Metal Universe and immediately redefined high-end insert collecting with its futuristic, foil-heavy designs and ultra-limited print runs. Featuring bold, etched foil with a near-surreal aesthetic set against metallic backgrounds, PMGs stood in sharp contrast to traditional card designs and helped usher in a new era of visual innovation and scarcity in sports cards.
Nearly thirty years later, PMG Green are among the most sought-after parallels in the entire hobby due to their low print run, groundbreaking design, and cultural influence, especially in basketball and football markets. The 1997 issue is widely regarded as the origin of the modern chase card, and owning a Green PMG of a legend like Emmitt Smith offers both historical significance and long-term collectibility. As the modern hobby continues to value iconic parallels and pioneering sets, this card remains a cornerstone of 1990s football card history. Limited edition - #015/150. One of one graded EX with four higher.
