Single Card Mail Day:2024 Mosaic Honeycomb Darren Waller

I don't know what it is, but I have been really into case hits recently.

They just look so much better than the regular cards in products.

So, when I found a Darren Waller Honeycomb, I had to bring it home.
 
Honeycomb parallels look exactly as you would expect, like a honeycomb.

These aren't numbered or anything. Just a case hit.

This isn't one of my favorite case hit parallels for Mosaic, I prefer Genesis still, but they still look pretty cool. Hoping to add a few more Giants, a Nabers would be real nice.

Single Card Mail Day:2024 Donruss Signature Marks Deonte Banks

Well, if you were to tell me when the season started that this team in its 100th season would finish 3-14, I would have laughed at you.

Now I am the one being laughed at as a fan.

And the Giants announced this morning they are keeping everyone and no firing of the GM or coach this year.

Welp.

Despite the team's output, I have still been collecting NY Giants cards and adding new autographs to my collection of players I didn't have yet.

 
I had a Deonte Banks autograph, but not one in a Giants uniform yet which is my preference. This one is from the new Donruss product that came out about a month ago. I was RAK'd this one by @willewillmcards on Twitter/X.

Back of this card is better than most Panini ones.

Thanks again to @willewillmcards!

Hopefully next year Banks will look like he did in his rookie year and not the guy he did this season that seemed to give up on plays. Would be nice also if they drafted or signed a guy to pair with him. That might help. It's all in Daboll and Schoen's hands now.
