Seeking Help:1995 Score Red Siege Parallels

Since Let's Talk About Sets isn't taking off all that well, I thought instead I will post my set needs in a new series called Seeking Help on here.

I haven't given up on the other blog, but I want more exposure/reach on my set needs and think that the blogging community is the best place to find those items.

So I will begin re-posting the sets I already have on Let's Talk About Sets and start to add some new ones in.

These posts will be simple, they will feature a front and back of a set I am seeking along with my haves/needs list. That's it. I will be posting these possibly once a day for awhile which also means you will be getting double the posts for a few days.

I hope someone out there can help me knock some of these sets down. Let me know if you can in comments. Thanks!

 

Here are my haves, (this means I have these numbers listed)

1,4,5,7,8,10,11,12,15,16,17,19,20,22,23,24,26,28,29,30,31,33,34,35,37,39,

Last Weeks Mailings

It's Friday again, that's crazy to think about.

I don't know about you, 2020 has been crazy, but the days are flying by. Which is a good and bad thing. I hate to see life flying by, but I don't mind seeing 2020 come to an end before anything else happens.

At least I always have cardboard no matter what 2020 throws my way.

Recently, I pulled off another trade with @CardpocalypseNC who always brings the fire. And this time, brought some set help fire.

A ton of Red Siege needs. TONS.

And look at that, the white slime relic was sent by Tim which finishes up this extremely tough and rare Ghostbusters Slime Set for my Master Set.

And the last card this Game Breakers set help of Bobby Humphrey. (later on I realized Tim helped my RJ Barrett PC with a Panini Sticker)

Big thanks to Tim for all of the set help. I have started your next pile already!

My next mail day came via Cards On Cards who passed along some NBA love.

My boy John Starks. I always forget he didn't always stay with the Knicks as he went to the Warriors and the Jazz. To me, he will always be a Knick.

And Allan Houston, my latest PC chase. I am pretty sure the Rookie Sensations card I don't have

Big thanks to Kerry.

And the final mail day is a tease of a mail day. It may have been one of my greater mail days all year so far. Not that all aren't great, but this one hit close to heart/nostalgia.

The Diamond King brought the fire. But, hate to say it, well not really, the only way you will see what's in here is if you go follow/read Cards Over Coffee. You can check that out, HERE.

Thanks to The Diamond King on this trade. I will be trying to send some cards your way at some point.

I had a great week of mail days, I hope the streak continues!

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 26:1995 Score Red Siege Parallel

Roxanne...you don't have to collect the Red Siege.....Roxanne...collect the Red Siege...collect the Red Siege.

If you thought when we had sets a few volumes ago that the 1995 Score looked good, well, throw some red foil on it and take it to amazing.

Score Red Siege is a 275 parallel set to the base set and I knew when I started it there was a huge battle uphill to complete it.

But, here I am trying to tackle it regardless. I like challenges.

Thanks to @CardpocalypseNC, I was able to knock some big names down.

Emmitt Smith checklist

Kordell Stewart

Jerry Rice Star Struck

Erik Kramer

Barry Sanders

Man I love the look of these.

Here are the Red Siege current HAVES,

272,273,

Once again, I may have taken on more than I can chew but being rough sets or not, I am up for the challenge.

Episode 18:1995 Score Football Box Break

I recently made a big trade with my friend and fellow 90's wax buster Shane. He is the one who runs the Cheap Wax Wednesday and Other Stuff where he breaks boxes that cost under $50 from 80's, 90's and today.

In my trade, I not only got some set help along with some sweet singles,I will show off on here, I  was also able to land some boxes of stuff from 1995-1999 that I will bust and show off on here as well.

One of my main wants in the trade when it came to busting boxes was to help myself out with some sets I was building. That's where this 1995 Score football box comes into play.

 

Each box of 1995 Score football has 36 packs of 12 cards each. So a lot of cards. This box was snagged at $12. Yes, $12 to relive this wonderful memory.

 The base cards feature the rip design but has some really fun photos on some of the base

 

 

The back of the base even has some great shots as well. Remember a time when card backs had more than writing?

 The rookies are in the box folks and ready to break out on the field

Imagine these two on a same team? You thought having TD did Denver wonders for a Super Bowl run...

 Star Struck subset

 Offense Inc. Wow, that's sad, pulled the same player twice :-! These fall 1:18 packs

 Artist Proof fall 1:36 packs

 And Red Siege time! They fall 1:4 packs and should find 12 per box.

As many of you know, I am chasing the parallel set of these and am happy to report that 11 of the 12 were new for my set!!!

For 12 bucks, I added 11 new Red Siege, a ton of new base for that set and a whole lot of memories and fun. That was a worthwhile break.

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 11

Let's talk about sets baby
Let's talk about it with me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be

Let's talk about sets....

1991 song by Salt-N-Pepa was about a much different topic than I am turning it into. You see, I am staying on topic with cards. Not,well, what they were talking about. This newest segment about the 90's will focus on my set chases (the ones I have already used for a Origins Post or don't plan on using) and new additions to them along with updates on how far I have gotten.

It's time for us to sit down and have that discussion between your parents and you that you tried to avoid. You know, that conversation you have with them about the Flairs and the Pinnacles. Kids, it's time to Talk About Sets.

Today's sets talk is from my trade with @card_a_holic who I said caught my attention from having set needs for me.

So let's check out the sauciness today.

Three Red Siege cards. Two I needed, thought I needed all three but I have a good home for my dupes now.

Ground Zero baby! Both new. One of an underrated WR in Bruce and Westbrook who was supposed to be the next Jerry Rice. Didn't quite pan out that way.

I hit Paydirt right here!!!! Biggest player I needed left for my set. Only two more to go! Just need Natrone Means and Deion Sanders.

And Ground Attack. There's another player on the back, but I put key focus on John Elway for this post.

Plenty more to show off from this trade for set help. Tune in for the next part and take a trip back in time.

Today's sets talk is from a generous mail day from fellow blogger Bulldog  who runs the Nothing If Not Random blog

So let's check out the sauciness today.

I mentioned in the two posts of mail days how he sent along some Red Siege set help and he nailed it with all new ones!

Kerry Collins. Double PC card!

Bryant Young. The red mouth piece really stands out on the red foil.

Mark Bruener

Jack Del Rio

Troy Aikman

Steve Young

Junior Seau

Star Struck subset Junior Seau

Bam Bam Morris

Gus Freotte

Eddie Goines

Ken Harvey

and finally, Robert Brooks.

Thanks to Bulldog for the help with these sets. Really appreciated. Thanks to your help I am now up to 60 cards out of the 275 in the set. I have a very long ways to go but glad to be closing in on 100 and shouldn't be too far of a climb with them falling 1:3 packs.

Variety Of Cardboard

It doesn't take very much to catch my attention when it comes to 90's cards. Well, late 90's cards. To be quite honest, anything before 1995 in the 1990-1994 range scares me. Yes, I fear the junk wax era.

But, anything from 1995-1999 I will always keep an eye out on. When I saw someone post about about a 1995 Fleer Aerial Assault card, I started a conversation on how I am chasing the set. That's when @J1Burris sent me a DM on Twitter that he may be able to help me with that.

Even though he didn't find any of those, he did pass along some other great stuff.

Like Kerry Collins,

 

Topps, I remember this card like it was yesterday.

 Same goes for this one. bought a ton of Impact back in the day.

 Absolutely dig this one.

 I have seen lots of Crash The Games in front of me, but never Kerry. Now it's mine.

 I am building this set as well. I do have Collins, but glad now I have a copy to stick in my PC to.

One of my favorite products in 1995 was Skybox Premium. Now I can add this card towards my set and my PC

 Never argue with Stadium Club

 There was a Kerry Collins rookie in the first series of Ultra and in the second.

Like I said, I am building this set but I do have this one as well. I never mind doubles from this era though.

 One of my favorite all-time RB's, well besides Rodney and Barry, TD!!

Ike Hilliard gold medallion. Other than the 1995 Gold Medallions, this was my favorite design when it came to that popular parallel.

Tiki Barber Ultra rookie

 Strahan parallel /50

 Some more set help with two Ground Zero parallels

And a Red Siege!! Great looking McNair card.

Great thanks to @J1Burris for the cards!! I still have one more to show off but that will wait for a Rodney's Cardboard segment.
