Chasing Lamar:2018 Donruss Football Blaster Box

Okay, Okay, I know, I know. I once again got sucked into the hype of the hobby, first with hunting down Zion, which I still haven't landed and now it's Lamar Jackson.

I think the Lamar hype became real again for me after I traded away my best two cards of him so I wanted to replace those with something and was hoping to do so by ripping some packs. This isn't going to be the only blaster box in this mini series. There are four.

Did I have any luck with them? Did I pull it in this one? Well check it out below,

I landed this blaster box for $15 shipped which is pretty solid knowing how much Lamar has gone up.

And we have a no. No Lamar in this break and not even a NY Giant or Saquon rookie. But Anthony Miller was a great find along with Michel. He is putting up solid numbers.

No Giants to be found here.

My red Press Proof was a QB, just not Lamar. It's Kirk Cousins which if far from Lamar.

Dominators Kareem Hunt. So much I can say about that...

Drew Brees insert

Derrius Guice Matthew Berry insert

And a Raven.....Rookie Phenom Jersey!!!....and it's Hayden Hurst. Sigh.

Well, there are a few decent cards in here so it wasn't a complete bummer. I really like the look of those Matthew Berry inserts and there was really a low risk/high reward with this box break. I also have been a fan of Donruss football since Panini has done it so that's fine with me as well.

Til the next break!

One Of These Things Don't Look Like The Other

Earlier in the celebration on here known as 90's week, I busted a box of 1996 Stadium Club football. I landed a few decent cards and was happy with my results. However, upon sorting the base cards I found something that I hadn't seen before.......

Up close these two Anthony Millers look the same.

But if you flip them around, you find out that they are not.

Match Proof parallel is what I had found. Not something I had ever seen or heard of and most of the time never would have noticed if I hadn't sorted the cards by number. So I did a little research on them.

Match Proof in Series one fall at a tough rate of 1:240 packs. Each card in the 90 card set has a Match Proof parallel and they are numbered to 120 sets of each. The only thing that separates them from base is the gold foil on the back as you see above. The ones in Series 2 are much easier to find at 1:150 packs, however those are only numbered to 100 sets of each.

I think this was a great find for my 90's PC and I was fist pumping the air when I saw that I had pulled something cool. It's both something unique and rare. This is the kind of fun that busting older products can bring.

You knew a topic was coming with this one. Have you ever found a great card that you may have missed the first time around in a card pack or random stack you bought? Maybe it was even already in your collection? I want to hear all of the details! Your reaction, what it was you found and how you discovered it.
