Sometimes I Just Start One

I have to give credit where credit is due, but I am digging the parallels in the new Topps product.

I am still mad at them for taking all of the licenses, but, this first product is sharp so I will give them a break....for now.

I had started to grab parallels to the team card in the 2026 Topps base set because I was thinking how cool it would look to build the rainbow of it. 

But, looking at all of my other rainbow chases, I said, no, can't go down this rabbit hole again and not be able to finish it.

So, I just stayed at my four.

 

The four I have though look really good.

Another reason I didn't feel like chasing more was the cost of the others and that there were so many to chase in so many different levels of Topps products. It would be impossible to finish.

Will I add others that I find cheap? Probably. Do I call it a rainbow chase at this point? No.

Sometimes I just start one.

First Cards Of 2026

Now stands only one.

One company that is for NFL trading cards.

With Topps owning exclusive rights to the NFL license this season will be a lot of Topps product chasing for my Giants collection.

That's unless I go back into the 90's and fill in spots.

But, new cards of new players is always nice to have as well.

Here are my first cards of the 2026 season. I still have more of the base chase to go, but I did take out a big chunk including their three best rookies this year.

 

I actually really like the base card design. I do wished the photos were better, but flagship hasn't really ever been known for those. I will have to wait for Stadium Club. The team color match and the helmet strip design really help these stand out.

I hope to eventually add the other missing base from Topps before the next set comes out, which probably won't happen knowing that it will be out this week. But, hopefully soon.
