Random Cardboard Of The Day: 2020 Optic Luis Robert

Shiny And Numbered

My recent trade with Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday gave me some shiny and numbered Giants cards.

Up first,

A Kadarius Toney Prestige Pink parallel /50. I started a rainbow chase of these, but then backed off from it. Rainbow chasing is very finicky and unless you are set in your mind of chasing one, then don't bother.

Prince Amukamara green parallel from Bowman Platinum /499. I wished Prince could had proven more for the Gmen, but he had some success afterwards, It seems to be a Giant way of things.

Kyle Lauletta was supposed to be the Eli Manning replacement, so wasn't Davis Webb and so wasn't Daniel Jones. I am not sure when the Giants will find their next QB. It could be Jones still, but almost feels unlikely at this point. I would love to bring in a proven veteran whether that's through Free Agency or trade. Come on Russell Wilson!!

 

And finally, speaking of QB's, the Giants also went through a really rough dry spell after this guy retired before finding their next Super Bowl winning QB. I must also note, I can't ever say no to a Collectors Edge parallel.

Thanks to Shane for these additions.

Thoughts on my cards today welcomed in comments.

Chasing Lamar:2018 Donruss Football Blaster Box

Okay, Okay, I know, I know. I once again got sucked into the hype of the hobby, first with hunting down Zion, which I still haven't landed and now it's Lamar Jackson.

I think the Lamar hype became real again for me after I traded away my best two cards of him so I wanted to replace those with something and was hoping to do so by ripping some packs. This isn't going to be the only blaster box in this mini series. There are four.

Did I have any luck with them? Did I pull it in this one? Well check it out below,

I landed this blaster box for $15 shipped which is pretty solid knowing how much Lamar has gone up.

And we have a no. No Lamar in this break and not even a NY Giant or Saquon rookie. But Anthony Miller was a great find along with Michel. He is putting up solid numbers.

No Giants to be found here.

My red Press Proof was a QB, just not Lamar. It's Kirk Cousins which if far from Lamar.

Dominators Kareem Hunt. So much I can say about that...

Drew Brees insert

Derrius Guice Matthew Berry insert

And a Raven.....Rookie Phenom Jersey!!!....and it's Hayden Hurst. Sigh.

Well, there are a few decent cards in here so it wasn't a complete bummer. I really like the look of those Matthew Berry inserts and there was really a low risk/high reward with this box break. I also have been a fan of Donruss football since Panini has done it so that's fine with me as well.

Til the next break!
