Lots Of Blue

I have shown off most of the trade mail day I did with Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday, now it's time to show off the rest in what may.be the last post on here.

Why could this be the last post when football season is just around the corner? Well, the realization of running three blogs is starting to take it's toll. This one, the least favorite of readers, would be the first sacrifice I will make. Could there be another blog leaving after this decision? There may be. Am I shutting the door completely on this blog? No but for now any future NY Giants posts will take place on Matt's Wonderful Blog Of Hobbies.

So, I say let's go out with a bang if this is the way it completely ends by showing off some great Giants cards I got from Shane.

Here is the gallery,

 

Some great cards huh? I agree.

Thanks again to Shane for the trade.

And thanks to you guys for checking out today's post!

RAK Monday Adds

 Every Monday on Twitter, I run a RAK Monday where you post up wants and others try to help you out. If you are chosen to be helped out, you must pass it on to someone else. Or just give and not take, that's always great too.

Usually the thread goes pretty well and I see a good amount of both. I also join in and receive as well as the administrator of the thread.

One of my last Monday's I got a solid haul from @dtgordo.

 

Odell Beckham Jr. I really miss Odell, just not his antics. I am hoping their top pick in this years draft Kadarius Toney can be of similar in play style.

Anyone miss Upper Deck NFL cards yet...(I miss Osi's pass rushing)

Because I do.  They were always creative with their products.

Thanks again to @dtgordo for the mail day. I appreciate it. 

Random Card Of The Day #3:2014 Topps Odell Beckham Jr

A Christmas Breakdown

Gavin from Baseball Card Breakdown blog surprised me recently with a Christmas gift laden PWE.

As always, he nailed it in finding me cards I didn't have for my Giants PC which isn't very easy.

Of course it wouldn't be Christmas from Gavin without a cool custom to go along with the cards. I don't know how he does it but he can take a basic card and make it worthy.

Victor Cruz refractor. I wished he could had stayed healthy and stayed with the Giants at the end of his career.

Tim Carter didn't make it very long with the Giants, but I still collect him. I always liked the design of Topps Pristine but could never afford it.

I remember this photo like it was yesterday. Odell catching a slant from Eli Manning and taking it to the house, over 60 yards, for a game winning comeback touchdown vs the Ravens.

Majestic Eli Manning. Take that anyway you want.

Giants will need to make a big decision on Engram soon. Injury prone potential based player in his final rookie contract year. Will be interesting to see what they do. I would like him to come back as he has a ton of talent but needs to stay healthy. Would only take him back at a reduced price though.

Engram is also an "eBay 1/1"

Well, that does it.

Almost...

Found a perfect spot on my tree for the card ornament.

Thanks again Gavin for the mail day and hopefully we can make more trades in 2020.

Generosity Around The Holidays

Trevor over at Bump and Run Football Cards Blog has hit me up the last few years with a surprise around Christmas time. I believe he also hit me up earlier this year.

He always sends me Giants or 90's set help which I truly appreciate. The only problem I have is I always misplace his address for a return thank you, even though I know he doesn't ask for one, and everyone who I am in contact with doesn't have it.

Finally this time when he sent his latest mailing, I kept the envelope and made sure I sent a return which I hope you enjoy soon Trevor.

Anyways, that unexpected mail day showed up last week and I am just getting to post it as there are so many mail days coming in as of recent and I am falling behind.

Today, I am posting two together that seem to fit. They both were friendly out of the blue just because it's the holidays kinda mail days. Neither expects anything in return except a thank you. They probably don't even expect that but I am going to give one anyways.

Here is my mail day from Trevor first before I move onto the second one,

Phoenix "refractor" of Odell. I gotta admit I still do miss him and I think he would have paired well with Jones, Barkley, Slayton, Shepard and Engram but it is what it is. And Peppers and draft picks Giants got in return have played well.

Set help for my Same Game More Attitude chase. I gotta update all of the numbers now with these additions and a few others.

Herman Moore TD Kings

 

 

1995 Pinnacle base set help

Dan Marino is an Award Winner! What ever happened to great looking cards like this.

Pro Bowl die cut. Love these! Still have a ways to go on the set however.

Hakeem Nicks sticker. I actually didn't have this

Thanks Trevor once again for the mail day! Much appreciated!

Up next, my buddy Turk on Twitter said he found something while searching his 2013 cards and said it fit with me more...and he was right!

Topps Prime....those were the days...

Ryan Nassib....

Woooooooo. That's sure purty!

autographed booklet with a swatch of football, not sure what the pink swatch is maybe a towel for Breast Cancer awareness?

And the other side with a jersey swatch, maybe a sock or ugly sweater and then a glove. Pretty slick!! Card is numbered 10/15.

Big thanks to Turk for this card and for your generosity!

I did a few generous mail days myself to a few unsuspected individuals including multiple bloggers who may not have seen a mail day from me in awhile. Well, now you will.

There is nothing better than spreading the love this time of year!
