Trading With Da Dufus

I am so far behind on posting these mail days, I did today's trade a couple of months ago.

It was my very first trade with @Da_Dufus and it went great, even with the USPS being a little obnoxious with the arrival of my mail day. 

It showed up after being in limbo for 2 weeks if you were curious by that last sentence.

@Da_Dufus is a Super Collector of Anthony Miller, so when I saw a Kerry Collins I needed he had posted for sale or trade, I jumped.

The trade went further than just the one Collins card as I hauled in some 90's inserts as well.

Side PC guy TD. Think this is the first time I have owned a Platinum Portraits.

Donovan McNabb rookie and a Playoff Fantasy Team insert of Steve Young. Those inserts have a sparkle in the background. This is my second one of these...feels like a set chase is needed.

Spx Gold! I have roughly 12 of these towards my set chase of these now.

 

And finally, the Collins card that started the trade, a 2009 Score Inscriptions Gold Zone /50.

Thanks again to @Da_Dufus for the trade, hope we can do this again!

Breakin' Wax:2021 Mosaic Football Mega Box Part 2

Recently, I acquired two Mega Boxes in a trade I made with my father and was hoping for the best. I can't turn it away for some reason. I thought I had learned my lesson on trading for wax but I haven't. 

At least not for Mosaic football.

Let's hope that box two can match box #1.

Every mega box of 2021 Mosaic football comes with 10 packs of 4 cards. Each box has no guarantees other than some shiny stuff and boxes run $60.

I didn't take a picture of every card from this break and just focused on the inserts and shiny stuff.

4 inserts

BANG! Green parallel of Jalen Hurts

Another Davis, sweet! Justin Herbert isn't too shabby either.

Josh Allen is okay I guess :)

The Bus silver parallel

Blue Reactive

Kadarius Toney! PC pull!

And a nice card to end the break, Trey Lance blue reactive rookie. He is marked to be the 49ers starting QB.

Break two wasn't too bad. There wasn't a case hit but that's okay, the Trey Lance is decent.

Thoughts on today's break welcomed in comments.

Marvel At This Mail Day

For the first time, @AlexK245 and myself pulled off our first trade despite interacting and following each other for many years.

It all started when he posted that he was looking for soccer cards and I knew soccer cards were something I have been wanting to unload and have been. For a first trade, this one went so smoothly. It was a quick, short and efficient as we both got a few things we wanted.

Here was my haul from it,

Bob Clatterback that becomes the oldest NY Giants card I own now

Rueben Randle, I am sure I have one of these already in my Randle collection but I don't mind others.

DJ Hall

Victor Cruz alongside Larry Fitzgerald. Speaking of Larry, what ever happened to him?

Terrell Davis rookie. One of my favorite 90s backs but not top. That's saved for Rodney obviously.

And I had to focus on the defenders face as I am sure there was a lot of that when Davis ran the ball.

The ELIte series....

And then came some non sport goodies. Now, honestly I am not much of a Marvel guy as I am more DC with Batman who is my favorite super hero, but I don't turn these types of cards away still. I do remember watching a little bit of the Xmen series on Fox when I was younger.

(they do always say a storm is coming, I might be okay with that)

Beast is probably my favorite of the group. This wasn't all of the base from Marvel that was sent to me either. There was others but I was trying to not drag this post on any longer than I have to. Don't want to bore you guys too much.

Thanks to Alex for our first trade, maybe there will be more down the road. I still have plenty of soccer to go.

$25 A Week Challenge Week 13:90's And Today

Another week is over and you know what that means, another week of additions for a value under $25.

First up, I found these 90's jersey cards. What's interesting about these, they are called team threads but have no specific player wearing them, no word if they are game used.

From my research after the purchases, they have a replica jersey swatch embedded that is not game used or even worn by the player. Must be where some of the companies today got their idea from for player worn jerseys.

  

First up, Eddie George I grabbed for $2 shipping

Up next, Kauffman for $1.25 plus .99 shipping

And then a Davis for $5 plus .99 shipping. I originally thought about doing a set up until I found out they are not game worn. I should had known by the price. I will say though, incredible design and good size swatches especially on these 1998 ones of Kauffman and Davis. They should do these designs for companies today.

I needed this Daniel Jones rookie so for $3 plus $2.90 shipped for an Optic, I will take that.

And then I grabbed this Dwayne Haskins Prizm for my Prizm rookies for $5. Haskins showed some life down the stretch and took control as the Redskins QB. Should be a good year 2.

Overall this week, I went under $25 again with $21.13.

What will I pick up next week, only time will tell. You just never know what you will see me find.

$25 A Week Challenge Week 11:Gotta Wear My Shades

I wear my sunglasses on cards......So I Ken...So I Ken...keep track of myself in my eyes....

Sorry, Corey Hart came to name when I saw this Ken Griffey Jr 1997 Pinnacle Shades pop up. It was one of those cards I had wanted for awhile and finally made the decision just to grab it.

Especially since I landed it for only $4

I have been really addicted to these 1997 Collectors Edge Game Balls after grabbing two Kerry Collins ones for cheap. I especially like the Playoff ones as 1996 had some great games that I still remember to this day.

   

One of those games was in 1996 between Jacksonville who barely snuck in as the 5th seed taking on the mighty Bronocs. The Jags had just upset the Bills the week before and went on the road to face the Broncos who looked unbeatable. Problem was, it was just a look. Jags took a ten point fourth quarter lead and held on to win 30-27 which coincidentally was the same score of the Bills game. However, a week later they lost to the hated Patriots 20-6. Guess you can't win them all. But, being a big Jags fan, once again my second team, back then it was memorable to see those two victories.

So when I can grab this relic for $6+$1 shipping without a doubt it was worth it just for the memories alone.

When I have a NY Giants autograph need, I grab it. And so I did for only $4 and free shipping. Kaden looks to have secured a spot on this roster for next year or at least I hope so. He can block in the run game, make the tough catches in traffic and reminds me of another Greg Kittle. This guy could be big next season. He almost had 100 yards in the Giants finale vs the Eagles.

To me, the Giants wouldn't have made their Super Bowl run without Plaxico. He was the one guy Eli relied upon and nobody could stop that combo. The Giants won Super Bowl 42 because of Plax who played the entire playoffs hurt but helped lead them anyways. Not to mention caught the game winning TD in the Super Bowl. The Giants were blowing away opponents the following year as well up until Plax's shooting himself incident. Giants fell after that. But, a Super Bowl I won't ever forget combined with his game winning touchdown and talent he had when he played, I couldn't go wrong for $6.95 plus free shipping.

I showed off a souvenir stamp of Darkwing Duck before on here, so for $1.50 and free shipping, it was a no-brainer that I grab two more.

$1.50

$1.50

This weeks total was close at $24.95 but once again I was good and stayed under budget.

Some pretty cool PC adds this week which is what I like.

So now I gotta know, what would you have picked up this week for $25?

$25 A Week Challenge Week 10:TD Salute!

Can't believe this is the 10th post in this series already. That's crazy!

So far this series has had mixed reviews in terms of views and comments so not sure how much longer I will continue with it, but for now I still have some cool things to share so who knows.

Today, I had to make the 10th one, a special one with a nice round number and boy did I find a great card to do it with.

I think I got a big time steal on this one.

1999 Playoff Prestige Terrell Davis Salute autograph!

  

Card is numbered to 150 which is not much for those times.

The other crazy part, nobody bid against me. A Two-Time Super Bowl winning, record breaking, Hall Of Fame, rare card running back for $15.99+$3.50 shipping.

How could one not one to pull the trigger?!?

Next up, I snagged another pretty good deal when once again nobody bid against me on it.

 

1997 Scoreboard Gems Of The Game Terrell Davis for $2.00+$1.50 shipping. Not too shabby at all! This makes my second one of him however so one I will dangle to a Bronco trader buddy of mine. The first one I paid $7 for. I really want to build this set, but that's an adventure way down the road. For now I would just like to add the Kerry Collins one for my PC. There is only one listed and its for $20 so may be awhile unless they drop down the price to affordable.

 

The final card for this win, pink pulsar refractor of my boy Saquon Barkley for $1.50 and free shipping.Couldn't turn that down could I?

This weeks grand total was $24.49. There was nothing for .51 I needed so I was happy stopping there.

I forgot to mention above, but that's really my first official TD autograph so knocking down a big time autograph for less than $20 was the way to go.

So now I gotta ask, what would you have spent $25 on this week?
