Player HITlights: Owamagbe Odighizuwa

Today's featured Player HITlight has a really tough name to spell out without having a card next to you to type it off from.

Owamagbe Odighizuwa, okay I cheated this time and copied and pasted the name from my post title, was a third round pick of the Giants in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was supposed to be that missing pass rushing piece the Giants needed after losing Osi, Tuck and Strahan years prior and was to pair up with JPP.

Well, like a lot of draft picks during that time for the Giants he didn't quite pan out. Injuries took up his rookie season and in 2017 he got caught with PED's by the NFL and shortly after was released by the Giants.

He signed with the Bills in 2018 but didn't last more than a few months of the offseason there.

His NFL career ended with 6 total tackles.

I collected quite a few of his cards and was sent some from other collectors as well,

I also have plenty of base and rookies of him as well. Will need to sort them out better to figure out how many I have total of him.

More Player HITlights soon.

Breakin Wax:2015 Panini Black Friday 3-Pack Break

For the first time ever, I actually had the chance to open some Panini Black Friday packs, a hobby dream of mine. Yes, I dream small.

So with a purchase (which I will show the results of at a later date), I managed to land three packs. Yes, it was sadly only three packs, but three is better than zero. You can only fit so much into your budget.

In every pack of 2015 Panini Black Friday packs are two cards and one "filler" card. You can land these through different online sites, eBay or by visiting your LCS on Black Friday if they are participating.

Pack 1: Not bad, Beastmode and Anthony Towns.

Pack 2: Not too shabby either. Tom Brady and Bears first rounder Kevin White.

And the final pack had some boom. Nolan Arenado and then Devante Parker cracked ice Breast Cancer Awareness towel prime swatch. This card has a place in my collection. My Mother In Law went through chemo and radiation this year for it so it's a great card to have to celebrate her braveness and the card looks sweet.

Here is the hit up close. Really nice looking card done by Panini here. I like the uniqueness of the towel swatch too.

 

Overall, can't complain with this three pack break. Some big name players and a nice hit. I am not sure what the numbering is on these as Panini doesn't like to release that info but I would assume /25 or less.

 

Now I gotta ask, how many of you busted some Black Friday packs? If you didn't, what are your thoughts on my break?

Rookie Card Reveal For Panini's 2013 National Set

Another day, another Panini preview of their 2013 National Sports Collectors Convention cards.This time they did a sneak peek of the numbered Rookie Cards that are included for the show that begins on July 31st with some big name talent to brag about as well in the checklist. Not to mention, some well done designs on these rookie cards as well.

  

Top QB pick in the draft. Not a bad have for any fan.

 

Bright future ahead for Nail and for the Oilers.

 

This guy has looked great so far in the Summer League. Grabbing and finding anything with his name on it for cardboard is a must. I like how Panini included some of this years top picks into the lineup.

 

This pitching beast as well!

And of course this guy....

 

Each of the base 2013 National Rookie Cards from the four sports will be numbered to 499. There will also be scarce Cracked Ice versions and Progressions cards limited to just five copies of four different colors.

Let us know your thoughts on these cards and if you're going to the 2013 National Convetion
