Is 84 An Insane Number Or Is It Fun?

Hello and good morning, Coffee Card Enthusiasts! Whether your here for the cards, the coffee, or both I hope you're having a great day.

Today, I am going to talk about a crazy thing I recently found out.

 

I was mailed this Hakeem Nicks and thought, how cool is this parallel? I wonder what some others look like. Upon doing my research on that part I was beginning to think of another rainbow chase. 

Sadly, despite how great of a player Hakeem Nicks was, his cards are cheap. Which is sad but also falls perfect for me.

So, I was like, let's do this. 

Before I do any kind of set, player or rainbow chase, my main thing is to start up a spreadsheet. 

I began to set up my spreadsheet then went to copy and paste the parallels to the spreadsheet.

That's when I uncovered something.....

Something shocking...

Something uncanny and unheard of...

There were 84 parallels.

Well including the base, which I count as a part of it.

EIGHTY FOUR. You are not reading this wrong.

Is 84 an insane number or is it fun?

I will let you decide in comments.

I didn't know what to think at first, but I realized that maybe it is fun. I know I won't get all 84, but how far can I get? Sometimes it's more about the journey then it is about the finish.

I know I won't get any of the 1/1's, but let's see how far I can get. Let's keep this a new segment for the rest of the year. What do you guys think? And what should I call it? The Chase For 84? Nicked Off? Let me know your thoughts in comments on the chase and a name for it. Can't wait to hear it.

In the meantime, Happy Monday.
