When The Wrong Choice Goes Right

 Remember when I said I bought a box of cards on my way back from my vacation? 

Well, my choice was the wrong one.

Sitting on the shelf among other boxes of 2025 football cards, I saw a box of Phoenix and without even looking at it, assumed it was 2025 and walked out a happy guy.

That's until I hit the car and realized I had bought a 2024. Ugh.

Yeah, I could land another Nabers rookie, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I wanted to pull some Dart or even a Hakeem Nicks to go with my rainbow. Speaking of which, the updates on my chase for 84 will be found on my NY Giants blog, Big Blue Cardboard. Check it out if you haven't yet and go give it a follow!

Now back to the box (one of which I mistakenly deleted the box picture of).

Even though I was disappointed to have grabbed the wrong box, I still was excited just to open something again.

Each blaster box comes with 6 packs of 4 cards each, so 24 cards for $35. No guarantees in the box besides three parallels and a chance at an autograph or case hit.

I kicked it off pulling a new Giants card in the very first pack. I thought maybe that was the kickoff to something good.

DeVonta Smith,first of three parallels. I assume this is a Purple parallel. It's Unnumbered. This should have counted as a Giants card since the Eagles jumped ahead of the Giants in the draft that year to snag him.

 

JJ McCarthy rookie. I think he will be spending more time on the bench with Kyler there now.

My second parallel was of Travis Kelce who recently spent more time in the news about who he married over his sports season.

Here was a nice find. Rookie Rising parallel of Caleb Williams.

Then to top that off, a second dosing of Caleb Williams. This time a base card rookie parallel. Both are heading to my rookie card PC.

New Giants card. Two nice Caleb Williams pulls. I will call this blaster a win. One of the very few times a wrong choice goes right.

Let me know your favorite pull from my box below in comments.

I hope everyone has a coffee-filled Tuesday.

Card #100 Of 2026 Has Arrived

Well, I have reached the second minor milestone of 2026 and I reached it at the end of February, two weeks after I reached the first minor one. 

It's card #100 of the year. Doesn't seem like many when you really break it down.

With this newest update, this means I am now averaging 1.69 cards a day over a 59 day span which is more than what I was averaging two weeks ago when it was 1.14 cards a day.

Hopefully, my numbers will continue to increase as the year goes on.

Without further ado, Card #100 of the year and it's a shiny one at that.

This card, a 2025 Mosaic Bang Mosaic Parallel of Brian Burns, comes via my friend @TCovCards11, he sent me a few goodies and after I got down adding them to my yearly total, this was card #100.

Thanks again to TCov for the cards and for helping reach this goal.

Hope everyone has a magnificent Monday. Stay warm.
