One Down, Nine To Go!

We are only two months into 2026 and I just posted my Top 10 I want to acquire in 2026 list a few weeks ago and one of those ten have been acquired!

A couple weeks ago, I received a message from long time friend Stephen on Instagram, @keyon_korner, that he was about to acquire one of the cards from my Top 10 list and send it to me just because.  

What a great friend he has always been. 

Within a few days he did just that and threw in a very low numbered bonus card as well that I will show off below.

The main card he sent is the 7th card on my list, though none of these are in any particular order of which one is most important.

90's collectors, try to not be jealous of this one...
 
I now officially own the 1995 Summit Ground Zero parallel Curtis Martin card. One of the toughest ones I needed for my set chase!! I am not too far away from finishing this one now!

Only, 35,53,60,64,71,79,103,109,125,136,137,138,159,160,169,174,177,178,179,180,182,188,189,193,195,196,197,198,200 remain and I will finally complete this bad boy after 31 years.

I guess I should have added completing this set as one of the Top 10 cards I want to add in 2026. Maybe I should do a set version of this list.

Speaking of the Top 10 list, here are the other nine cards I am looking to add in 2026 if any of you have them,
  1. 2024 Prizm (not draft) Caitlin Clark base rookie. 
  2. 1994-95 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The New Season - Acetate Character PlastiCards #CS-6 - The White Ranger. 
  3. 1994-95 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The New Season - Acetate Character PlastiCards Lord Zedd 
  4. 1998 Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion Peyton Manning 
  5. 1997-1998 Metal Universe Base Michael Jordan 
  6. 1996-1997 Metal Universe Base Michael Jordan
  7. 1995 Summit Ground Zero Curtis Martin 
  8. Pop Century Ed O'Neil Autograph. 
  9. 1997 Topps Chrome Refractor Jake Plummer Rookie 
  10. 1992 Bowman Mariano Rivera
Now onto that really cool bonus card I mentioned above that Stephen sent along as well,

Check out this 2014 Select Blue autograph parallel /5 of Andre Williams, who is one of my bigger Giant player collections and this a new one for it. Really sweet card, more so in person.

Thanks goes out to Stephen for this great mail day and for helping me knock down a big set need.

I will hopefully be able to finish this set now that Stephen gave me the big boost. This was one of my favorite parallels of the 90's.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday night. I know I am after looking at these two cards again.

In comments, let me know what big card are you still missing in your set chase?
