These Colors Aren't So Gray

You ever just start a colorful chase just for the fun of it? Well, that's what I did with 2023 Prizm and Eric Gray.

Why did I choose Gray, well, for one reason, Saquon Barkley left so I am assuming Gray will be playing a bigger role on the Giants offense. Two, he's dirt cheap.

So, for fun I added these through trades and a couple on eBay,

Green Wave

Silver

Red White and Blue

Green Pulsar

Green

Pink

Electric Lazer

 

Orange Disco

This was a short-timed chase just to add some color to my Gray (collection). If anymore happen to fall in my lap, I will welcome them but it's not something I am out seeking currently. Panini put some many parallels in this year's Prizm and so many low numbered ones I will never get them all.

But it was fun in the meantime and isn't that what the hobby is all about?

Have any of you started a chase just for the fun of it?

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.
