An ultra-rare and highly coveted 1997 SkyBox Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems (PMG) Red featuring Daryl “Moose” Johnston, one of the most iconic fullbacks of the 1990s and a key contributor to the Dallas Cowboys dynasty. PMGs from the 1997 Metal Universe release are among the most legendary inserts in the hobby, widely regarded as one of the first true “super-premium” parallel sets.

This example is the Red PMG version, individually serial numbered 50/150, making it one of just 150 copies produced. The Red PMGs (cards numbered 1–100 in the set) are especially desirable due to their striking design, featuring a shimmering foil background, bold red finish, and the unmistakable industrial Metal Universe aesthetic that defined late-90s card collecting.

The card delivers tremendous eye appeal with its vibrant red foil, intricate etched detailing, and strong overall presentation. As with most PMGs from this era, minor surface or edge wear can be typical due to the sensitive foil stock, but these cards remain among the most condition-sensitive and sought-after inserts ever produced.

Precious Metal Gems have become cornerstone pieces for serious collectors, with demand continuing to surge across all sports and player levels. Even non-star and role player PMGs like Johnston are increasingly difficult to locate, especially with clean surfaces and strong visual appeal.
