*takes a sip of hot brewed coffee, gets ready for the new post*
In 2015, Topps included four lifelong friends who do stupid things to compete to embarrass each other.Those four were Brian Quinn, Sal Vulcano, James Murray and Joe Gatto.
These four make up the Impractical Jokers. A show that has been on television since 2011.
I personally didn't get into the show originally, despite multiple recommendations, until a couple of years ago and I loved it. I spent many days watching it on TV, watching reels as a distraction when I was on the treadmill, then spending time sharing the best moments/reels with others. Yes, I am one of those guys.
Everyone needs a good laugh and what better way to do it then with the stupidity. As my wife knows with me.
*takes a sip, almost chokes then laughs to himself about some stupid things that had been done*
Like with anything that connects to my life or past, I try to find cardboard related to it. Topps included Impractical Jokers base, relic and autographed cards in its 2015 Allen and Ginter product,
In 2022, I was fortunate to had completed the four base cards (which since then I have misplaced and am frantically searching for them the past month) and now I have completed the four relic cards.
Brian Quinn
Sal Vulcano
And I guess to fit the stupidity theme for the Impractical Jokers, Topps decided to not use the same layout design for Joe Gatto's relic.
These took me a few months to hunt down and accomplish with Joe actually being the last one. He is the most valuable of the group and is actually my favorite one of the jokers.
(let's just ignore for now the recent accusations against a couple of the jokers and focus on the show aspect)
They have autographs in the product as well but those go for a ton, so I am not expected to chase those. I am happy with the relics and the base (if I can ever find them or find someone who has them for trade again) anyways.
I hope everyone has a funny day. Make someone laugh today even if it's something stupid you do or at the cost of laughing at yourself.
*final sip for the post*
Don't forget you can start to nominate cards for the 2025 Coffee Card Hall Of Fame!! Cards don't have to be autographs, patch cards, super star cards. It can be whatever you think is Hall Worthy! Find details and current nominations HERE.

Oh heck no! This might've been enough for me to just not care about completing this set. LOL Awesome that you have them all, but I'm with you that having one that doesn't look like the others is a bit meh...
ReplyDeleteI am also one of those guys. I have watched many episodes while walking on the treadmill. Watching them makes the time go much faster on the treadmill. I need a refill! Enjoy the day all.
ReplyDeleteMy girl loves this show. I've seen it a few times with her, but it's not really my thing. But now that I know these exist, maybe I can lure her into collecting cards with these.
