Breakin' Wax:2014 Topps Turkey Red Football

My buddy @NYCollects was at it again sending me another surprise mail day. He recently messaged me said he had a little something for my Christmas stocking to open. Well, it was hard not to open it ahead of time and I did so. Even though I feel now I should have waited a little longer just to secure some cards for Christmas I may not get.

He sent me a long of 2014 Topps Turkey Red pack that comes with a guaranteed autograph. This is a product I had always thought about opening but never have.

So let's rip

Every one of these packs comes with 11 rookie cards and one autograph.

I pulled a ton of Tre Mason in 2014. Too bad he never panned out.

Van Noy doing big things on the Patriots defense.I am not sure how they turn no name players into somethings. It's gotta be simply good coaching. Something my Giants are lacking.

Ryan Shazier was a great piece on the Steelers defense before his injury. I hope he comes back strong

Clowney is helping the Seahawks stay up as one of the better teams in the NFC this year.

Jace Amaro was another player I pulled a ton of in 2014. A TON. This is a mini card parallel.

And finally, my hit. A Charles Sims autograph which marks my third autograph of his. Once again, a player I had hoped would pan out.

Thanks goes out to my buddy @NYCollects for the fun rip. I really like the look of the cards and it's fun to know there is an autograph waiting to be found. There are some decent rookies from that class still. I know I was really hoping to find Odell despite not being a Giant anymore. The guy still is talented.

What's something you are hoping to find in your stocking to rip a pack of?

Best Panini Rewards Mail Day Yet!

With my recent run on Panini Reward points, saved up 950, I knew I either had to trade them away or find something that catches my eye. The first time I used Panini Rewards I didn't find anything I really wanted, but this time something stood out to me and I had enough points to grab a few nice cards.

2014 Panini Certified had some beautifully done Freshman Fabrics this year and when I saw a Giants player as one of them offered, I had no choice but to snatch it.

I first snatched this, yes Sims didn't get much playing time, but it's sometimes important to take a chance on the future. And for 150 Panini Rewards, I would have been stupid not to have.

Then I went on to grab TWO of these for 250 Panini Rewards points a piece. Normally I am not a person who likes to do doubles on things like this, but I think Andre Williams has a bright future and with him being a Giant and the cards looking as nice as they do, I couldn't walk away without a least a couple.

Really liked this one especially. Nice patch!

Overall, I spent 650 Panini Rewards leaving me with 300 for another future pickup. I will say I am a bit antsy with holding onto them and was tempted to pick up another Williams. I still might. Whatever I decide on will be posted on here of course! Stay tuned!
