Single Card Mail Day: 2024 Score It's Good Autograph Amani Toomer

It's Good!

Yes, this mail day was a good one.

It has also been awhile since I last added an Amani Toomer autograph or any Amani Toomer in general.

I prefer to stick to 90's cards when I collect Amani, but adding a cool new autograph isn't always bad either.

 

This card isn't numbered, but I like the design and sparkle to it.

I did recently just add another Toomer autograph I will post at some point. 

This Toomer doesn't move me up very far on Trading Card Database standings as opposed to my standings with other player collections, but, maybe I should focus on adding a few more of him to put myself up there.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Toomer Autograph RAK

 I have a lot of good friends spread across the blogosphere and on Twitter.

One of those friends is a fellow NY Giants fan, @Brent3323.

He always puts others ahead of himself and once he again, he did that acquiring this 2023 Mosaic Scripts autograph of Giants legend Amani Toomer and having it sent to me just because.

This is a new Toomer for my PC and I think the third autograph. This one is by far the shiniest.

Only recently did I discover that Panini added Toomer to some 2022 and 2023 products. It's always fun to see a player you didn't expect to pop up again. Other than this add, I don't have any others from those years of him.

Thanks goes out to Brent for his generosity again. I appreciate you!

Winning Monday Showoff

We won!! We actually won in dominating fashion.

Yesterday, the Gmen came to play forcing 6 turnovers, having an undrafted rookie QB throw for close to 250 yards and Saquon playing like his old self.

For all of those fans that think tanking was a thing, I am all about the win and that was a great one. The Giants are only 3-8, but a playoff run could still happen but still very unlikely with their upcoming schedule.

With a winning Sunday, let's show off a card to celebrate.

Which is a new addition to my Amani Toomer collection.

2001 Ultra College Greats Preview autograph.

This is one of three of the College Greats preview cards in the set. The other two is a base version and a redemption version.

I will hopefully add the other two at some point.

Not sure if one card makes me any closer on the list on TCDB to the top for Toomer or not, will find out in a minute when I add it. 

As always, I am trading for new Toomers and there are plenty out there! If you have any, contact me at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com!

Worthy Toomers

As I continue to chase the ones well above me on Trading Card Database in terms of Amani Toomer, I have been adding some cards on and off that will hopefully drive me closer.

However, I am not adding just any cards to play catch up, I am working on tougher and more fun finds. 

Especially those from the 90s.

First up, these 1996 Bowmans Best Best Cuts rookie insert parallels.

I already have the base, this is the refractor.

And this is the X-Factor. I do like the OG Ravens logo in the background and this X-factor puts today’s design to shame.

From my research, this is supposed to be a numbered parallel to 2000 Upper Deck Ultimate Victory. But, there is no numbering that I can find. Regardless, if it's an error, I still marked it as the one that is numbered until I can find a numbered version.

 

My last pickup was a cheap 1997 Finest Embossed Silver Refractor. These weren't easy to pull falling 1:192 packs. It is my first embossed refractor.

Even though it's only four cards and it didn't help budge me at all closer on the list, I really liked these adds. As I said, I am not going to focus on just adding cards to get closer, they have to be worthy enough to be added as well.

Kerry’s Cardboard:2004 Playoff Hogg Heaven Leather Quads Dual Relic

I have been adding many Kerry Collins recently, but most have been focused on the 90s end which features him on the Panthers.

But, that doesn’t mean if I find a cheap add with him featured in a Giants uniform I let it go by.

This card I landed for under $5 and it features 4 Giants players. However, this is only the dual relic version of this card but it does feature the man of the blogs relic swatch alongside running back Tiki Barber, another Giants legend.

The back features two of my favorite Giants players all-time, I really need to do a countdown list at some point, just as their base selves.

I am hoping at some point to find/land the full quad relic.

Thoughts on the card, players on the card and your favorite team quad relic you owned welcomed in comments!
