It's The Only One

It's the only one.

You might at first think I am referring to my wife (even though she is my only one) or this morning's cup of coffee (sip taken), I am actually discussing a card I recently got in the mail.

My latest X/Twitter trade landed me one of the very few NY Giants 1/1's I own, well, outside of my Rodney Hampton collection. I have a few in there.

This trade came together and ended fast. It helped that I had traded with the person before and also had plenty of interactions with them. The only surprise was it being two years since I last traded with @kemptribe, not sure why, but it appears the wait was worth it with the whopper I landed for my Giants collection.

It's the first Laundry Tag in my Giants collection and I believe in my entire collection.

It's stunning!

Kyle Lauletta was the possible QB of the future in NY when the Giants drafted him in the 4th round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

But it didn't quite work out and he bounced around a few practice squads instead. With the QB's the Giants have now, I would welcome him aboard with open arms.

 
I have quite a few Lauletta cards after buying into the idea he was going to be their next star QB but this one by far is now the centerpiece to that collection.

I should learn not to do that. It has happened too many times now.

I do however want to chase down this rainbow now and there isn't too much to chase. I need the following to complete it, Base Relic /100, Purple /75, Prime Yellow /25, Prime Green /10, and Super Prime Blue 1/1.

Thanks goes out to @KempTribe for our latest trade, hope the next time we won't have to wait two years but if we do, I wouldn't mind landing another only one :)

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

  1. Very nice. I'd love to add a game used laundry tag to my collection one day.

  2. Nice 1 of 1! That is something I don't have in my collection. 1 of 5 is the closest I get to that. I do have coffee (just took a sip). Got the Vikings on as the kickoff just happened. SKOL!!!! Have a great Sunday.

  3. 1 OF 1's are always nice gets. In fact I just pulled one out of a dime box (yesterday) that cost me.....a penny. Of course I am sure they were unaware it was a 1/1, it's also a logo-less card of a non star 2 year old rookie parallel. Getting one of your team (like yours) is icing on the cake!

    1. Hey I liked that card! I like to build rainbows and it starts with one/one

  4. 1/1's aren't something that I pursue, but I suppose if I had the chance to trade for one that featured a player I was collecting, I'd probably try and go for it.

    1. Well especially if it is an easy fair trade off

  5. I can’t believe there has been a 2 year gap since we have traded!
