The Top Wants (Again)

Roughly a year ago, I shared my Top Wants list on here which you can always find on the Tabs of the blog (linked in this sentence). But, not knowing if anyone ever looks there, I thought a post with an updated list would be better.

I have crossed off a lot from last year's list and added more to this year's list. One thing to keep in mind, I update this list throughout the year. I add more, I subtract the ones I add, and stare at the ones that have been on this list for an eternity since I started this blog with a cup of coffee in my hand.

There will always be a Top Wants list, but I am hoping some day that a lot of these cards won't be on it anymore. So, if any of you can assist, my email is always open at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

Updates And Thank Yous!

UPDATES:

 

Well, 2025 has been going smooth so far. Just as smooth as this delicious Green Mountain Coffee I got from the hospital yesterday when I went for my check up on the cyst on my cheek.

Update on that, well, good news and weird news. I went there thinking the cyst was on my left side because that's where I feel the lump, but nope, it was found to be on my right side in the scans. So, the ENT did a full exam of my face, said he doesn't feel the one on the right but does on the left. I asked him what my level of concern should be, he said, "I wouldn't say not to have any, but it's around 2%. There isn't much worry about them." He then said he would check in with the radiologist who took the scans to see what he has to say about the left side and to see if anything at all showed up on the scan. Other than that, I need to go back in a year to get an ultrasound done, possibly on both, and see if there is any growth.

All In all, good news.

THANK YOUS!

Well, to no surprise the man, the legend Night Owl Cards took home the trophy again with the Trading Card Database Favorite Blog. However, for the first time in 13 years and the 8 years they have held this, I made the list in the Top 3. Completely unexpected. So, thank you to the members of TCDB who voted for Cards Over Coffee. I appreciate this so, so much.

THANK YOUS:

I got another great trade mail day from blog reader Oren!

Lots of Allen Ginter love,

 

Then some other non sport goods,

(this reminds me that I need to finish this set, only 10 cards left!!)

And then there was a surprise at the end,

 

even though it's faded, still a cool rookie auto!

Thanks Oren for another great trade, looking forward to the next.

Hoping this year continues to be great like it has started so far. I hope your year goes well too.

Have a great Thursday.

2024:The Blog Stats

You thought 2024 was over, didn't you? Well, not quite yet on here.

I still have some loose ends to finish up before I move on with this year.

But even before that, I need my coffee.

*takes a sip*

Today's post comes thanks to an idea from Night Owl Cards who took the idea from Diamond Jesters. I wanted to make sure to backtrack this correctly.

I have never done a recap post like this one on here before, but I loved the idea and may do this post going forward.

Let's start:

• This is my 13th year blogging overall but going into my fifth year here on Cards Over Coffee. I have done some on and off postings on Sport Card Collectors (my original blog) and Big Blue Cardboard (my NY Giants spinoff blog) but have mainly focused on this blog the last few years. The only thing that keeps me going back to Sport Card Collectors is the numbers. Every post there gets 100+ views while this one gets less than half of that per post and I keep going back to Big Blue Cardboard because this blog doesn't do well with NY Giants posts.
• This blog had 151 posts last year, which was 44 more than the previous year but not as many as 2022 when I had 200 which is the highest amount on here.
• The month with the most posts was January with 23 which is followed up with May with 21. The least amount was October with 2 as both September and October I kind of took off from blogging.
• The highest viewed post last year was The Blogger National with 234 views.
• I don't have exact notes on the most commented post of last year as I replied to every comment, but I will say I had roughly 4-5 comments per post which is a yearly average high for me on here.
• This blog has 72 followers. Which is +3 from the previous year. My goal is still to reach 100 on here by year's end.

 

As for blog stats, I don't quite know how to read this chart and how this is broken down, not sure if it's views per month or what, but it appears this blog was on the rise in 2024. Which his good and has been the goal.

I don't have the card breakdown for last year for what I added to my PC, I am not that organized, and I had so many cards coming in and leaving through trading it would be impossible to fully track just like how many cups of coffee I had last year.

Well, there you have it. I think we are good with 2024 now and can finally move onto 2025 on here. I will do it again next year.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Drink that cup of coffee.

*final sip*

BASKETBALL UPDATE: We won our first game on Saturday 30-8 with the first half of the team, then lost the second game in a heartbreaker 13-12 after having a 10-4 lead at halftime with the other half of the team. There are definitely things to work on, but some huge improvements as well. Tonight is practice and that's exactly the plan.

My Top 10 Acquistions Of 2024

Before we get too far into 2025, I wanted to recap my favorite pickups of 2024.

First though, I need my coffee. So, hold on. It's temps in the negatives and the only way out of that ice coldness is coffee.

*coffee brewed. happiness and warmness achieved*

There is no particular order below for my Top 10 acquisitions as they are all equal. I could have added more and made this a Top 20. But I just wanted to narrow it down.

It's cold and I just want my coffee.

*sips*

 

First card up is Kyle Lauletta. I just love the patch on this card. It would have been really tough to leave this one off the list.

Next up, Karen Gillian. This autograph was a need for my Marvel PC and for the newer Jumanji movies I enjoyed. And I may have a little crush to.

Following that up is Coffee Card Hall Of Famer Craig T Nelson.

I think this Griffey could have been Hall worthy, it was by far my favorite Griffey add last year. Die-Cut, space is exactly what I look for in a card.

Another Hall Of Famer made this Top 10 list. One of my favorite shows on TV right now.

 

I added this one in July I think it was. He should be in the Hall, but isn't. That's why it's important to nominate cards! This is my only Nabers auto to. I would like one in a Giants uniform before next season.

It's real turf. Really cool card.

Hall Of Famer in real life, it didn't get a nomination for the Coffee Card Hall Of Fame, for $12 is a win and had to be on this list.

Another Coffee Card Hall Of Famer made this list. I had wanted this card for a few years and now have it.

 

And finally, this card had to make the list. This was one of my Top 5 most sought after cards last year as well.

Well, there you have them. Let me know which card(s) you thought should have made the list I left out or which one is your favorite and why.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Do good for others today and it will be good for you as well.

The Gift That Kept On Giving

At Christmas I received some wonderful gifts from hobby friends. 

Bloggers, former bloggers and even readers. It made a rough year better to know that so many cared.

Today's mail day arrived a day past Christmas, but that didn't matter to me. It was well worth the wait.

This mail day is brought to you by... blog reader Oren!

First, let's kick it off with some unopened packs.

I have never seen or heard of these packs. Will be a fun intriguing pack rip.

As soon as I saw this pack, I immediately thought of All For Love. The song by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.

  

And I thought these were interesting. I had no idea that Cryptozoic put this set out. They usually focus on television such as CW shows and a few movies.

I will be ripping these down the road as I try to integrate Throwpack Thursday on here.

This was just the beginning of the mail day. It kept giving.

 

Giants blue. Color team match parallels are some of the best out there.

 

This Wemby sat on my want list a very long time.

This gift wasn't done yet. It kept giving.

 

A new sweater card for the Christmas PC.

A couple Wandale relic cards. He is one of my favorite players on the team. Very underrated.

Eric Gray auto. Other than kickoff returns this guy hasn't really hit the field for the G-men. So, who knows what he is capable of.

I can finally cross this one off the want list as well. Been wanting a Mack auto as I try to get every player I can in a Giants uniforms autograph.

Was this it for the mail day after a want list item crossed off? Nope. I kept pulling more out. It kept giving.

Davis auto. His time was short with the Gmen but he was still in blue.

I can watch runs by Jacobs on YouTube all day. What a beastly man.

I really like the design on this Jones relic. Jones, no longer a Giant but he will forever be remembered in blue for the good and the bad.

 

I started collecting Jernigan back when he came out of the draft. He showed flashes in his couple years with the Giants. There is actually a guy on Instagram I follow with an incredible Jernigan collection.

This has to be it right? The end of the mail day?

Nope. It gave more.

Wait? What?!! A stinkin' Curtis Martin auto!!! Want list item achieved! And he is one of my 90's guys. This was really cool to find.

That has to be it right? Final card like that?

Nope. Oren had one more gift in there.

 

Phew. What a beauty! Rhett Bomar or not, what a patch!

Thanks again to Oren for his generous Christmas package.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

*Coffee Card Blogger Out*

A couple of side notes before I close out. We lost our first basketball game on Saturday 15-10. It was really challenging as one team had to cancel so we had to combine our team together again and try to fit 17 girls in a game of 7 minute quarters. We had a rotation with a group of Starting 4 that switched out every 4 minutes while the fifth spot switched out every 2 minutes. It was complicated to keep track of and the team didn't get the chance it needed to gel as momentum would start then would have to pull people out for a new group. This week has two practices and two games coming up.

ALSO, DON'T FORGET ABOUT NOMINATING CARDS INTO THE COFFEE CARD HALL OF FAME IF ANY FROM TODAY'S POST OR YESTERDAY'S WITH THE MAIL DAY FROM DENNIS YOU THINK DESERVE A NOM.

And lastly, read/follow Big Blue Cardboard. I will occasionally put up new posts on there. When I have time.

On The Good List

Every Year, Santa Dennis from Too Many Verlanders brings the joy of Christmas to many different mailboxes of those who have been good little girls and boys. 

I am happy to say I am always on the good list and have been one of those lucky recipients for many years.

By being on the good list and getting one of these mail days, you will find yourself immersed with a little bit of everything from your PC as Santa Dennis keeps track of your "lists".

I was good enough to add some Ken Griffey Jr. Both of us collect Junior so I am sure he sends me his dupes and I reciprocate when I can.

90's inserts were up next.

 

This was one of my favorite designs for Wave Of The Future and is one of my many set chases.

Then there as this Die-Cut, Acetate, wonderful piece of art.

I considered chasing this set, I still might, such a stunner. Feels very American baseball.

The 90's was followed by some non-sport.

Can't touch this.

And never tell me the odds that Santa Dennis knew I needed these.

After these two, well, had me feeling blue. In a good list kind of way.

Well except seeing a new Saquon. I still collect former Giants in blue, but he makes me sad with the season he has had.

90's, new, set material and a Giant. Wow.

 

Team color match-trippy card, love it.

I have wanted this card for a while. We will ignore the player's name and just look at it as the card. I really think the theme and background is where it's at with this one.

  

I was in double shock(ey) with these two. I must have been double good this year.

Not many remember that I collect Paul Perkins as a bigger side Giants PC, but Santa Dennis does.

And finally it wouldn't be Christmas or a gift from Santa Dennis if...

 

there wasn't an ugly sweater involved. Been needing this one for a while as I have been trying to finish up this dual relic set. Now just need the rest of them!

Thanks again Dennis for your generosity around the holidays again.

I will make sure to stay on the good list again for next year.

Hope everyone has a great Monday.
