Eli Countdown To 1.5K: 1007,1008,1009,1010,1011,1012,1013,1014,1015(plus bonus card)

With my latest trade from blog reader Oren, I jumped up quite a few Eli's on my journey towards 1.5K.

It's amazing how many basic Eli cards I didn't have.

1007:2022 Score Gold

1008:Leaf Limited base from 2008

1009: How did I not have this one from 2012 Topps?

1010: Contenders base. Looks cooler in person.

1011:2012 onruss Elite base

1012: is from 2012. It's a Topps Magic base card. Topps Magic was very underrated.

1013; 2014 Absolute Football retail red parallel. Very hard to store these.

1014:2016 Donruss Production Line

1015: Phoenix base card.

And for good measure, Oren surprised me with a bonus jersey/patch card.

 

Great addition to my Gallman PC.

Thanks again to Oren for all of the Eli's and for the surprise patch card.

Here's to hoping more Eli's arrive soon!

First Gmen Of 2023

Being able to trade online is the greatest. With my finances not great, trading is my go to.

My latest trade though was actually in person. This time it was with my father who recently busted some Score and set his Giants aside for me.

These mark my first 2023 Giants.

Dexy!

Big year coming up for Kayvon!

Hodgins looked good against the Panthers. Could pick up where he left off.

This guy has made some plays in preseason and in training camp. Hope he stays on the team somehow.

This guy made a drop against the Panthers then made up for it on the next play with a completely wide open 33 yard touchdown grab. Pretty excited what he can bring.

Well that does it for my first 2023 Giants. I still need more from Score, all from Legacy and probably from any other product coming up knowing I won’t be buying much.

Thoughts on these adds or 2023 Score welcomed in comments!

Pack Pulled

I have never had good luck in pulling NY Giants from packs, this includes even base cards. Usually I have to work out a trade to acquire my needs.

However, I bought a pack of Absolute football from Walmart a few weeks ago and actually pulled two Giants cards from it.

This is the Saquon Barkley base card that was the top card in the pack. I like the look of this year's design.

 

A few cards later and I found a green rookie parallel of Kayvon Thibodeaux.

I would call that a successful break.

Let me know if you ever find your teams or favorite players in your packs rips in comments below.

My 2021 Prizm Base Giants

Finally! I get to put up a new post up on this blog!

Today I am showing off my Prizm base card adds.

Since this year's Prizm base was such a deep set, there were extra Giants in it instead of the usual three or four.

This year's Prizm included seven Big Blue in the base set including,

Former safety Jabrill Peppers.

Leonard Williams

Kyle Rudolph (who also has an autograph I want in the set to go into my Giants autograph PC)

Blake Martinez who I hope has a big year back.

Darius Slayton (let's see if keeps his roster spot)

Saquon Barkley (I just traded for him in Fantasy)

And Super Bowl 42 winning catch....

 

Plaxico Burress.

Missing is Daniel Jones from having them all. I will have to chase him down.

Missing from the set that should be in it is Eli Manning. If you can put Kyle Rudolph in, Eli should be in.

Thoughts on this year's Prizm welcomed in comments.
