Finally Landed Him!

Every year after the draft, I try to land an autograph of every Giants rookie to add to my collection. Last year it took me the full season but I was able to pull most off all but one. Which that one shouldn't be too hard to land despite his great season so far this year.

However, in the 2023 draft, the season is halfway over and so far I have only added one of their picks which was Deonte Banks, their first-round corner and that was only recently.

The one I have been wanting the most was their fast WR in the third round in Jalin Hyatt. I have been watching his cards for months and months and months stay at $40 or so average. I felt that was a little too steep especially for a guy that hasn't made much of an impact or much of an opportunity to do so with poor quarterback play. He also doesn't seem to be on the field much.

I guess a few days ago my patience finally paid off as I not only finally landed a Hyatt auto, but also landed Eric Gray's who is the Giants backup running back they drafted in the fifth round.

 

The card is from Leaf Vivid and is numbered to 5/8 and looks beautiful. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't feature the players in their big blue. That's the problem with buying non-NFL licensed cards. But, it's at least an autograph for now. I can always upgrade later.

There are still others from this year's draft I need to land and add to my want list for Giants autographs. I will hopefully add that tab back sometime on here.

In the meantime, I am keeping my eyes open for the next addition.
