Giant's Sunday: Brent Sent These

It's Sunday and another Game Day for the boys in Blue. Today, the Gmen are on the road after their home beatdown by the Seahawks.

It doesn't get any easier today on the road either as they face one of the league's best teams in the Miami Dolphins.

It could get ugly fast with both sides of the ball playing terrible.

 

All I can hope is that this guy can get healthy and play this week. They will need him.

I keep waiting for the guys from last year to step up their game as well. Kayvon had a sack last week but otherwise wasn't around. WanDale was probably the best receiver last week but that's not saying much.

It's almost like they forgot about this guy as well. He is a speedster who has decent hands that hasn't even been apart of the offense this season. 

Well, what offense they have had.

Okay, enough with my disappointing rant about this season.

Let's just look at some cards.

Always been fond of Landon Collins. Last year's Pick 6 that pretty much secured the Giants playoff spot against the Colts will always stick in my mind as the biggest play for this team since the Manningham catch in Super Bowl 46.

My third Darnay Holmes autograph.

Two relics I didn't have in my Darius Slayton PC. I am thinking some days maybe I need to put my Slayton PC on TCDB as well and see where I rank.

  

Julian Love autographs. I think Panini liked using this photo a few times.

Another Love autograph, but with a different photo this time.

 

The X-man is on the roster, but on the practice squad. He hasn't lived up to the hype that was around him for a while. I kept hoping he was going to help this pass rush that needs it.

Well, I am sure I will be watching today's game, maybe covering my eyes by the beginning of the second quarter.

Thanks again to Brent (@Brent3323) for the Giants cards. Even with a lost season, I at least have these cards to enjoy.

I must also note that Brent also sent me some stuff to help me build up a Christmas gift. Great guy!

Random Card Of The Day #5:2020 Phoenix Fanatics Fireburst Xavier McKinney

Lewis and Robert

It had been a long time since @Brent3323 and I did a trade, so we thought we would make up for lost time with this one.

I always keep an eye on what Brent posts for sale just in case it's something I want to try and trade for. Recently he broke a box of 2020 Diamond Kings and had two cards that caught my attention immediately so I inquired. Fortunately, we got a deal done pretty fast as Brent is amazing to work with on trading.

Not only did I trade for those, but some new Saquons I needed for my PC as well.

 Gridiron Kings. Always wanted this one.

Playoff Goal Line parallel

Playoff Bowl Ticket parallel /99

Donruss Rated Rookie

 Unparalled relic

Then Brent tossed in a huge other stack of Giants that included these,

Evan Engram Phoenix rookie

 

Crown Royale rookie

A bunch of 2020 rookie cards I need.

And then the two cards that caught my eye from his Diamond Kings break

 

Purple border Robert (he tossed in the base one) I don't have much for Luis. These help

 

And then the main card in the trade, Kyle Lewis auto. This replaces the Bowman's Best one I had I shouldn't have traded this summer. I like when I am able to do that kind of move. I probably won't be able to do that with the Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard Prizm rookies I had and want back.

Thanks again to Brent for another excellent trade. As always I appreciate you as a friend, trader and for your generosity.

CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019 Panini Phoenix Football

It's amazing to me how fast this 2019 football season has gone. Felt like it was already yesterday when I first suited up in Giants blue jersey and hat and screamed at my television and now we are only weeks away from the playoffs.

As the football season winds down, so doesn't the NFL releases which puts me at a very sad place knowing my team isn't going to make the playoffs and knowing how much I love football cards.

One of the latest releases by Panini is 2019 Phoenix. Which is a product that has been around a few years now and one I rather like. I mean, who doesn't want another chrome-type product in their life?

I have yet to have much success with it, but hopefully this time? Let's check out how my break went below!

In every box of 2019 Phoenix football there are 12 packs with 5 cards per pack. You will also find 2 autographs and one memorabilia card per box as well. Boxes have dropped some in price and you can now find them roughly at $115.

BASE CARDS

 

The base cards are printed on chrome technology and are team color focused and single player focused. There are 200 cards in the base set split up between 100 veterans and 100 rookies.

 

The rookie card design is just a tad different than the base.

PARALLELS

Here is an overall view of the parallels in Phoenix
Silver, Color Burst, Fire Burst , Red /299, Pink /199, Purple /149, Orange /99, Yellow /75, Blue /35, Green /25, Black /10, Gold 1/1, and Printing Plates 1/1.

 Silver. It seems today collectors are chasing the basic silver parallels more than colored ones

 Pink /199

 Color Bust which fall one per box

 Purple /149

 Red /299

 Orange /99

 Yellow /75

INSERTS
Insert cards have the following parallels, Red /299, Pink /199, Purple /149, Orange /99, Yellow /75, Blue /35, Green /25, Black /10, and Gold 1/1.

 Adrenaline Rush

 QB Visoin

 QB Vision Purple of my boy Daniel jones! /149

 Comeback

 Rookie Rising....there he is again!

 Catching Fire

Catching Fire parallels. Moss is a red /299 and Fitz is a pink /199

HITS

I love the inclusion of legends of the game and this card sparkles like no other, however, I don't like player worn jersey material. Such a great looking card too!!

 The Michael Egnew of 2019, Hunter Refrow gets pulled often

Not a bad find here despite his very poor autograph showing. K'neal Harry has big time potential with the leagues best QB throwing to him.

Other hits not found in my box but could be in yours includes,

• Rookie Autographs
• Retired Signatures
• Rising Rookie Material Signature
• Veteran Autograph
• Dual Patch Autographs
• Triple Patch Autographs
• RPS Memorabilia
• RPS Jumbo Memorabilia
• Veteran Materials

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Solid effort again in this product. I didn't hit it too big once again but at least the Harry is a decent pull. I would like to see the veterans in this product have more game used stuff and not so much player worn stuff. The inserts were a tad bland for my liking as I feel they need to be upgraded some for next years edition.

Box price isn't terrible for three hits and some potential big ones. I like the addition of Veteran and Retired signatures as there are some great names on the list. I suggest at least getting yourself into a box break of this product if nothing else.

Wanna use a breaker, I strongly recommend using Midwest Box Breaks for your breaking needs. They are always hitting the big pulls so if they are breaking this, you could put yourself in a good spot. They also SHIP ALL CARDS! Get what you pay for!

SAVE 10% on your next break with Midwest!! Just use code SCCBLOG to do so. Don't miss out on those big hits any longer! Code ends at the end of the year!

Please thank Panini America and Tracy Hackler for providing this box for me to review to giveaway some of the hits in a BIG CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY coming up soon!!! Please follow them on all social media sites and visit their website for all your card needs, HERE.

Trio Of Future Talent

I have been coming across some great new trading partners recently on Twitter, the most recent was @719Broncos4Life.

He posted some NY Giants cards he had FS/FT and I jumped quick as I spotted a few I really wanted. It only took a few days before we came to a trade deal. It's great when trades are that easy.

 Some new Darius Slayton for my Absolute rainbow I am partially attempting. How far will I go with this? Who knows. Those darn 1/1's are always so tough.

Saquon has had a down year since his injury.

Daniel Jones!

Now introducing, a new Daniel Jones!

Finally! Been needing a Jones Prizm rookie

Score Gold parallel

Phoenix Red Parallel

Baker auto. This guy has been subpar so far. He should get a lot of experience though and should help him next year.

Julian Love auto

 Darius Slayton auto with a nice patch.

And a Slayton autograph I have wanted for some time. I really thought Panini made some unique and beautiful autographed card in Elements. This is signed acetate.

A thanks goes out to @719Broncos4Life for the trade. I know you still have a few other things I want to trade for and hopefully will when I get the chance.
