Through The Air And On The Ground

We move onto Cube #12 in this series and we head back to the land of the NFL.

Does it get any better than two of the greatest running backs in the NFL to kick off the top of the cube??

Next, we find one of the best runners in the game now, well besides my boy Saquon as I won't give full credit to a Dallas Cowboy player, but Zeke has proved he can take over a game all by himself.This Rookie Introduction is also a well designed card. The 2018 versions look just as good and I need one of that Saquon guy.

The Walter Payton!! Some day I will own his rookie card. It's on my want and bucket list.

Vintage and look at that 49er logo. Very cool.

Roger was one of the Dallas greats. I don't mind holding onto a legend even if he is a Cowboy.

Gridiron Gods is printed on metal and these cards are very heavy unlike a printing plate.

One of my favorite throwers in the 90's, well, let's be honest, there were many.

 A trio of autographs, no big names, but pads my autograph collection some.

 

I hadn't heard of this guy but guess he is a WR for the Miami Dolphins still. He was drafted in the third round of the 2016 draft. Hope he pans out like this Leaf Trinity card did. Very sharp.

We are closing in on the finals of this cube series. What's left to be seen? Well stay tuned to this Bat Channel!

P-Town Football Finale!

It's time to take that final dive into that big box of goodies that came from P-Town of Waiting Til Next Year blog.

It's been a wonderful journey full of fun items along the way.

Today we take a fun trip in time with football.

Memories come in full burst when I see Topps football. I know many of you complain about Topps baseball, but, when you take a look back at something you can't have anymore such as Topps football, it makes you appreciate having the baseball opportunity. Exclusive licenses are the worst thing, YES THE WORST THING, in this hobby. I would take a redemption card in every box if I could have companies with multiple licenses to give us variety. And I won't take that statement back.

I love the sideburns for Mr.Cook. You don't see those today either.

My man Walter! I have always been a Sweetness fan. Happy to add any of his cards when I can. I really want his rookie. Hopefully someday.

Normally a card without action photo bugs me, but this '69 Topps is so bright and colorful that how can you complain.

Steve Largent. One of the Seahawk greats. I really like the Seahawks throwbacks more than today.

John Jefferson. Gotta love a good sideline shot sometimes. I actually like the design on this set.

Bo doing some Ballet. Pro Set put out some great looking photographed cards.

I don't mind early Fleer too much, unless it's 91 baseball. That's just terrible.

Randall Cunningham was a very versatile QB. Played on a few teams but I will always recognize him as an Eagle.

Jack Concannon 1965 Philadelphia Philly Eagles QB. This is a sweet card.

 

Jaws.

Jaws 2.

 

Sorry. No Jaws 3.

A big thanks goes out P-Town for the awesome box. Much appreciated. I still have some stuff set aside for you to go PWE when I buy some more stamps.

Project Pedro Trade Recap Part 19:Double Sweetness

October has officially been named, Cards I Got From Project Pedro Blog Month.

Today not only marks the 19th post of this series, but it also marks my wife and I's 14th anniversary. So I guess I could have called this post Triple Sweetness.

But, when you think of the word Sweetness if Walter Payton doesn't come to mind first (I mean it's second to me because of my wife), then you haven't ever seen him run.

Up to this point I didn't own anything but a few newer base cards of Walter Payton and really wanted to change that. I am still in the need for his rookie card too but it's out of my league to buy.

So I got these two that are numbered in the trade. I really like the Gold Label one (wished my picture had come out better).
