In My Spare Time

In my spare time, I have been able to put more focus on collecting than ever before.

• I am completely caught up on sorting, it helps that I don't have much coming in and not boxes/packs to break.
• I have done a couple PWE trades and was finally able to hit some people back I had been waiting to do
• I am considering re-doing my entire collection from binders to all boxes (would need supplies first)
• I pulled off a couple of bigger trades, risked going to post office doing so, and landed two great cards for my collection (more on those soon)
• Cut down on some set needs for a few sets including m 2019 Optic football chase.

Speaking of that chase, I got in a couple more mail days that came with set help.

@ENSportsCards1 passed along these six just because. Thanks again man!

Then @BoSox1978 sent these needs along. Much appreciated!

I have also been blessed by a few bloggers who are hosting Free Card days and this one recently came in from Brian over at Highly Subjective and Completely Arbitrary who passed along a couple of cards.

I can never turn down a rookie card, especially a Young Gun I don't have

And this Stephen Piscotty autograph rookie was also staring at me in the face for my rookie PC.

Thanks Brian!

While I am at it, also in my spare time I have revived my NY Giants PC blog in Snagging Cardboard (blog name change may come). I will be posting most of my incoming NY Giants cards over there with a few exceptions of ones I have already put posts together here for. So if you have sent me any NY Giants recently and wonder why they are not being posted here, well, you will need to follow that blog to see my posts. Also, please add that one to your blogrolls if you haven't yet!

And while you are at it, Cards Over Coffee is a new blog I started not too long ago and will hopefully have some posts soon. It originally was a blog unlike this one, then I switched it to a 90's blog, and now I am going back to the original plan I had for that blog. Those posts will be ones I take more time on and hopefully give you guys something fun to read. It's not like this one which I still hope you enjoy. Please go give that one a follow and add it to your blogrolls as well.

Thanks again to the guys above for the mail days. If you haven't followed them on Twitter yet or checked out Brian's blog, please do so.

Now I am curious, what have you done in your extra spare time (assuming you have had some)

Nuttin' But The Hits:2017 Donruss Football Blaster Box

My 2017 rookie card collection for football is as weak as it gets. So when I found a markdown blaster box of Donruss I scooped it up.

Not only did I scoop it up for hopefully rookie card help, but I am a fan of the product line. So let's take a look at how I did.

**for some reason my blaster box picture didn't upload so all I have to tell you is that each box marked down was $15 roughly and came with one hit and one parallel**

My Giants from the box.

 

Rated Rookies from the box. Got a huge one with Watson, my very first rookie card of his.

 

Joe Williams Press Proof parallel.

 

Eli Manning Legends Of The Fall. The Diamond King of the NFL. I really like the look of the card.

 

Von Miller Up Tempo insert.

 

And the promised hit of the box isn't too shabby, a Leonard Fournette relic. I still need his rookie card however. So if you got one, let me know!

 

 

Pretty solid break for what I paid for it. I was pretty happy with the results. Much happier than I was with the Score blaster box I showed off recently. I picked up both of these the same day.
