The Continuing Saga

*coffee is ready now, time to pour a cup and get ready for a new post*

*takes a sip*

The season of downsizing has continued.

If you are just reading about this, last year I made a big decision that I was finally going to start downsizing my collection.

First, it was unloading 75,000 base cards to my father. Then it went on to moving hundreds of relic and autograph cards and sending them to fellow blogger for trade around Christmas time.

And now, on Monday, my father came over for another visit and once again I took some time away from school to make a trade with him and continue the downsizing.

For about four hours, I dug through boxes again. Getting rid of base that didn't have any meaning and pulling out ones with great photography and from my favorite era of collecting, 1995-1999.

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, another whopping 14,403 cards left my collection. Yes, I counted them by hand so I can keep my numbers updated on here accurately. 

In exchange,

I added 41 cards. Yes, just 41 cards and nothing that is outstanding, just stuff I wanted.

Here are a few key ones,

(one of the top rookies in the NBA this year)

 

Like I said, nothing outstanding, just stuff I wanted.

The important part with a trade like this is the amount of cards I was able to unload. I am sure there is more to come from this downsizing when spring comes around and I get the opportunity to get on spring break.

I have a ton of 80's sets that don't interest me and possibly some others as well. 

My next move is to update my numbers on here which will probably also mean another new small milestone post coming up.

My goal this year was to trade/send more cards out I don't want for my PC, then adding more that I actually do. I am on great pace for this.

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday.

In comments, let me know how you are approaching your collecting. Downsizing? Adding? Trading? Selling?

Cards I Want To Acquire in 2026

Yes, there are close to 300 cards on my Top Want List, but some cards stand out more than others.

That's where today's post comes into play.

These may not be the most expensive cards on a list, but for me these are the key ones I am looking to add before the end of the year.

1. 2024 Prizm Caitlin Clark base rookie. This is the best rookie I think of the Jordan of WNBA. She made the sport popular and grew it. This is a must have for anyone.
2. 1994-95 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The New Season - Acetate Character PlastiCards #CS-6 - The White Ranger. Growing up a huge Power Rangers fan, this card is a must have of my favorite Power Ranger.
3. 1994-95 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The New Season - Acetate Character PlastiCards Lord Zedd My favorite Power Rangers Villain!
4. 1998 Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion Peyton Manning I once owned this card in my youth as I pulled it from a pack, it's time to bring it home again.
5. 1997-1998 Metal Universe Base Michael Jordan Cool, iconic card.
6. 1996-1997 Metal Universe Base Michael Jordan See Above
7. 1995 Summit Ground Zero Curtis Martin One of the last better cards I need for that set chase!
8. Pop Century Ed O'Neil Autograph. I loved watching him in many movies and shows!
9. 1997 Topps Chrome Refractor Jake Plummer Rookie. Have you seen the photo they used on this card? Super cool.
10. 1992 Bowman Mariano Rivera. It's the GOAT closer, so, yeah.

If I can get at least one or maybe even two of these accomplished, that would make my year.

Let me know in comments what are the top cards you are hoping to acquire before this year is out! They can be big or small or a little of both. 

The year will go by faster than you think, I mean I had this idea ready for the second week of January and here we are in February already!

And bloggers, feel free to use this as a new post idea if you need one :)

Have a great day full of blessings.

Unfinished Cup:1995 Summit Ground Zero Football

It has become apparent that I am not very good at remembering things, after updating my Set Needs tab on here, I began looking for new Unfinished Cups to feature and for some reason I found I doubled up on a few of the ones I already did. 

Ooops! That won't happen again.

First, it's walking into a room and forgetting why I was in there and now it's publishing the same blog posts twice. 

My forgetful 40's are kicking in.

Now you probably ask, why bother posting them when you already have them in your Set Needs Tab. Well, that's because I find that featuring them in a post may help get them the reach I need and hopefully someone will be able to help fill those needs.

Because I know not everyone clicks on the tabs to check them out and my set needs may never get out there to be seen otherwise.

I will say by posting them, I have had some help over the years, so I know these posts are useful.

So, let's get on with today's before I forget what it was.

This parallel is 1995 Summit Ground Zero which was found 1:7 packs of 1995 Summit football. The base card design for Summit was one of my favorites of the 90's and still ranks easily in my Top 10 for base designs.

So, we top that off with a cool looking parallel, one of my very first parallels to pull, and you have a chase.

I have come so close over the years, and I think and feel like it's time to finish up this bad boy. It's not every day you finish up a 200-card parallel set.

Here is what remains,

35,53,60,64,71,79,103,109,125,136,137,138,159,160,166,169,174,177,178,179,180,182,188,189,193,195,196 197,198,200

Thanks for reading, thanks in advance on any help and hope you brought your coffee.

The Moment From a $200 Card To A $1 Card

*staring at you through the computer screen wondering why you haven't signed up yet for Fetch or Cashwalk apps*

*proceeds to drink coffee....then stares back at the screen at you* 

They say hangers are bangers so with some gift cards I earned using the Cashwalk app I got to try out this theory.

I was also in shock that I actually found Prizm football in stock at my Walmart.

I am not sure why I ever buy Prizm. I have always had terrible luck with it. My best luck comes with trading for singles I want, but call me Kenny Rogers as I like being a Gambler.

These boxes come with 20 cards with plenty of shiny and costs you roughly $25. Or in Cashwalk terms, five $5 gift cards.

So, I used all of the ones I saved up to try the box hoping for the best.

Was this it...did I hit the motherload? Was this going to be the first time ever Prizm hit it big for me? Did I actually win the gamble and hit a $200 card??

My heart was filled full of excitement. It was the kind of rush you get when you are speeding a little and happen to pass a cop car sitting in the U-turn making you wonder if they will turn their lights on or not.

Well, that thrill didn't last long. The moment went from a $200 card to a $1 card.

Guess the cop car didn't move.

However, finding this as one of the next cards wasn't too bad. It didn't make up for the price of the box, but wasn't a bad find either and probably my best ever Prizm pull.

This kind luck probably won't stop me from opening another down the road. But, will have to get to saving and unlocking gift cards first.

*takes a sip before closing up today's post with some information*

Well, not to sound like a broken record or an infomercial, I just wanted to remind you of the two apps I use to get gift cards. There is a third one I use to get Visa gift cards I will save for another day.

Coffee Break:2024 Donruss Football Blaster Box

 

It's the first Sunday without football so thought I would bring some football to you!

With my recent lack of ripping and a big urge to want to, I wasted some of my Christmas eBay gift cards and did a trade with my buddy Shane just so I could have something to open. I will post all of the breaks on here.

I know I shouldn't have wasted resources for it, so save the lectures, but I wanted to.

I needed it.

Just like this cup of coffee.

*takes a sip*

My rip today was a blaster box of 2024 Donruss football.

There wasn't too much excitement in the break, but I did pull a few cool cards.

After the season this guy had, everyone needs a rookie of him.

Red Press Proof parallel.

Throwback Design Insert. Because what longstanding product doesn't include those now-a-days. Especially Topps brands.

Red Hot Rookies. Not a bad one to find here. He looked pretty good last season.

Champ Is Here. I wished they had won it this year. Ugh Eagles.

 

This is a great looking insert. Action All Pros. I will have to see if there are any Giants on the checklist for this one. I like it.

*Here's to another Coffee Break, hope everyone has a great day and remember, coffee is best served warm. Coffee Card blogger out*

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.

UNO!

Who is up for a game of Uno?? Or who is up for collecting the cards?

Yes, Uno has not only became a classic game but also has what I call collectible cards now.

With more than 2000 cards to collect, there is a lot to chase.

Before, I show off some, I need to chase down my first cup of coffee today first.

*takes a sip*

I ended up finding one of these "packs" to open for fun by the gaming section in Walmart. No, not the video game section, these things called board games that once existed.

These "packs" cost $5 and comes with 56 random cards plus 4 cool looking foil cards.

 

Breakdown on the back.

I never looked into how to play this version of Uno as I wanted to collect them, but I am sure it's fun. Will it be as fun as the original game? Probably not. I haven't found one spinoff of a good board game to be worthy of its original.

Here is a peek at the cards,

They feature the game play, a die-cut kind of thing and a player photo.

I believe that each of these cards for every player has a different colored border variation as well. Which is why the checklist is so big. What the different colors mean, I don't know.

But what I do know is that the foil ones are completely fire.

 

I believe these are the "valuable" cards to chase in the set. I just like them because they look really nice, and I want to see if I can chase some of the Giants now to.

Now to figure out if I should binder these or keep them in the box.

If you would like further info on the game or cards, I included a link to the Mattel website HERE.

Thanks for checking out today's post.

The Top Wants (Again)

Roughly a year ago, I shared my Top Wants list on here which you can always find on the Tabs of the blog (linked in this sentence). But, not knowing if anyone ever looks there, I thought a post with an updated list would be better.

I have crossed off a lot from last year's list and added more to this year's list. One thing to keep in mind, I update this list throughout the year. I add more, I subtract the ones I add, and stare at the ones that have been on this list for an eternity since I started this blog with a cup of coffee in my hand.

There will always be a Top Wants list, but I am hoping some day that a lot of these cards won't be on it anymore. So, if any of you can assist, my email is always open at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

And there you have it. A lot of card wants and when I add more to this soon, it could reach a list of 300.

Thanks for taking the time out again today to read this post. Hope everyone has a great Friday, I know I will, I have basketball practice tonight before another double header of split team games tomorrow.

The Three Blog Mailings

With so much to catch up on, I have been using nighttime to get some blogging done and trying to keep pace with what I have to get posted. The only problem with this is that I am using the little bit of free time I have to do this. Which means blogging is taking place of sorting cards or playing a game of Madden.

As I get caught up, I will have to find a better balance so I can enjoy all three downtime things.

But here I am until then.

When I took a couple months off in the fall, which by the way was a nice refresher, I struggled with getting mail days which led to no content to post about and led to thoughts of retirement from blogging. 

Things started to change in December as my mailbox found quite a few mainly from bloggers, former bloggers and possible future bloggers. 

Like Crocodile Sports Cards who I won a football prize pack from his contest. 

The box was loaded with vintage (like actual vintage in the 70's, 90's is not vintage), 90's, and even cards from today. A mix of teams, players, rookies and a few stars.

Some examples to follow,

(absolutely adore this card)

Thanks Croc!

Then there was a very generous mail day from The Diamond King that arrived pretty fast despite how slow the mail was around the holidays,

A Trout for my player PC

Shiny!

Then came the eye candy of an Shohei Ohtani rookie! Pretty stoked to add this one.

Thanks DK!

And finally, Johnny's Trading Spot saw my comment on one of his recent posts

 

About this Keenan McCardell and how I didn't have it for my set chase. Guess what, the always generous guy sent it my way. Now I can cross this one off! With this addition, I now have 36 of the 120 or so autographs. I am not sure I will ever be able to tackle the big boys but would be fun to try and get close. Here is my list of needs if you are curious or have some help for me:1995 Pro Line Autographs

Thanks as always Johnny!

This is just the beginning of the fun mail days I have to share.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday! I have basketball practice tonight to prep for our first game tomorrow so I know I will have a great one...and busy one.
