Some That Stood Out

A few months have passed since I got my big box mail day from reader Grady M, Box Ol' Grady, and I have yet to share any of my fun finds from the many mini boxes.

As I have said before, there isn't even enough cups of coffee in the world to share everything he sends. But, a cup today will be good enough to share a few eye keepers.

*coffee is hot and ready to go*

Let's start with these stand out Judges. They may be some of my favorite Judge cards I now have.

Topps Chrome All-Etch refractor.

2024 Topps Chrome 1989

Panini Crusade

Then these two hockey cards from 2023-24 Upper Deck Allure really stood out.

And upon research on these, I guess each player can build a colorful rainbow combination of different colors. For example, the Lafreniere also has a card the same color as the player above once you get to that part of the rainbow by laying the cards side by side.

Wonder if I should choose one of these players and build off from them.

Finally, I love nothing more than a creative flashback to the 90's, 2024 Stadium Club Triumvirates.

I was pretty stoked to have found these.

They look great!!

I considered trying to finish building both three-part team cards, but I think my time would be better spent getting the Yankees team one and the Ken Griffey Jr one.

So, if any of you have any of those cards available, hit me up for trade at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

Thanks again to Grady for another great mail day. I can't wait to dig for treasure next time.

*takes a final sip before finishing up today's post*

I am still working on taking care of the cards from this mail day so if I come across anything else I think should be shared, it will be.

Thanks again for reading and have a great day.

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.

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.

Cards From Pops: Box 1

It's time.

It's time that I finally get to sorting (and posting) out the two trades I pulled off with my father. I haven't had a lot of time recently to do so with sickness and family visiting.

Before I go on with today's post, I must admit I would be lying if I didn't say I already went through the cards once for a quick glance. Sorry, the cards I post won't be unknown to me as I post them. I do promise there will be a lot of amazing stuff to post along the way in this miniseries.

However, it's going to take some time.

This time around will be a more in-depth look along with sorting them into the piles they belong in for my collection. As I sort the cards out, I will be pulling out favorites to post so it won't be every card as I don't have time for that.

Nor would you guys reading it.

Some boxes will have more cards to show off more than others.

Today's box didn't have a lot to show off as it was mainly base cards of hockey and NASCAR, two sports I don't dabble in a lot but do collect some of.

That doesn't mean that there wasn't some that caught my eye.

This one is pretty cool. The window on the other side is die-cut opened.

You can never go wrong with a Dale Earnhardt card. This one is a film cel type of card. It may be my favorite card of the box.

Another Dale, this time with some dufex action from Classic.

1999 Upper Deck Bronze John Mabry /100

Igor Kravchuk 1999 Upper Deck Bronze /100

Jeremy Roenick Will To Win insert. 

HoloGRFX had some great looking inserts.

HOF rookie card. I didn't have an Action Packed of him.

This is the closest to $1,000 I will ever hold in hand and be able to keep. I thought the photo on this phone card was great.

 

Joe Smith shiny Rookies insert.

There were a few others I could have featured, but decided these were the best of the best.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

There is more to come from this series as there are a lot of cards to go through. This is the only box I have sorted through so far as I have other stuff to post as well. My plan is to mix these posts in as I go.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

*Coffee Card Blogger Out*

Is It Working?

*takes a sip, stack of cards next to me, and I am ready for a new #CardsOverCoffee*

I had my three-month bloodwork check in this week to see how my A1C was doing and I am happy to say it has dropped from 6.4 to 5.8. So I guess the exercise, the 16.5 pound loss so far and the small dose of medication is working.

However, what is not working is my diet overall. My cholesterol was also checked for the first time in five years and it didn't look good. My overall cholesterol was good, however, the triglycerides were three times what they should be and my good cholesterol was way too low. Almost a third of what it should be. I guess you can't win every battle despite the weight loss so will have to make some better food choices. I will not take away my coffee though.

I have to see what my doctor decides next week and if I will have to be on yet another medication.

*takes a sip of coffee, tries to think of a healthier breakfast alternative to a bagel*

I also believe blog reader Oren is working on a plan to make me a hockey card collector with our last few trades. He knows I fall for anything shiny, so he finds the right cards to plug in and somehow they happen to be hockey.

Take these Center Of Excellence inserts. Not only do they have kind of a cool background, but an added shine at the bottom.

I apparently have eight of these out of the twenty in the set. Will I chase more of these? Possibly. They are kind of cool, but maybe not at the seek-them-all-out cool level yet. Nice try Oren.

However, I won't let the sunset on Oren's plan yet. This card is pure beautiful and these, I would totally get into taking many of these. His plan worked on this card as I want more.

The rest of our latest trade were baseball cards that worked their way into my collection,

Gold Boggs from 1994 Donruss.

1996 Score All Stars Eddie Murray (love this card)

And final card was Big Bats from 1996 Score.

Thanks again to Oren for the trade...and the effort to try and work hockey cards into my life.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I am hopeful I can get my cholesterol under control soon. My grandmother on my mother's side died from multiple mini strokes and my other grandmother on my father's side had a pacemaker so some heart issues run in my family as well.

In comments today, your thoughts on my mail day and if you collect hockey cards at all?

*Coffee Card Blogger Out*

Dazzled

*only 46 degrees this morning, the feeling of fall is turning more towards the worry of winter and this is only the last day of September. Just gotta hope the temperatures don't dip too much further*

I bet a lot of you when you saw my post yesterday were thinking, why didn't he mention that it was National Coffee Day? How can he be a #CardsOverCoffee blogger and not whisper a word about his National Holiday? Well, to be honest, I forgot it was yesterday until I found out later in the day.  By then, it was too late to save myself on here. However, I can say that I did celebrate it like I always do, by drinking coffee. I guess you can say it's probably National Coffee Day for me everyday.

*takes a sip*

I have poured my heart out on here about my passion of the Donruss Unleashed cards, now it's time to unleash my love for another insert that came out this year, Upper Deck's Dazzlers.

I hadn't seen these cards before, mostly because I don't buy or collect hockey normally, until blog reader Grady M sent me a few in my first mail day from him this year. They immediately made an impact on me and I was even more excited when I found a bunch more in my second mail day from him not too long ago.

The design is simple, a colored background with a firework design and player in the forefront that makes the player jump off the card. It's really sharp, especially when caught in the right lighting.

*takes another sip, trying to make up for lost time on here yesterday from not posting about National Coffee Day*

Upper Deck Dazzlers have four variations and different odds for each. Those offerings are Blue, Green, Orange and Pink.

The Blue falls 1:24 packs.

Orange falls 1:10 Fat Packs

 

And the Green falls 1:7 in Blaster boxes.

I have yet to see a pink version up close yet since they fall 1:144 packs, but I would say between these three, the blue stands out to me the most and not just because blue is my favorite color.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post. thinking some breakfast also sounds good*

I put all of these in a binder and they look stunning together. I hope to add to this collection and if any of you have some available for trade, let me know.

Thanks again to Grady for passing these along.

In comments, let me know how you celebrated National Coffee Day and your thoughts on these inserts and your favorite color of them.

Coffee Break:2020-2021 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Blaster Box

*coffee has awoken the beast, well, me. It's early but a few sips will get the blood flowing and the typing hands working. I will also need my hands to open up a hockey card product. I am not a huge fan of collecting hockey, but I am a huge fan of Upper Deck and have always been. Just ask Chris Carlin who knows this as well*

 

2020-2021 Upper Deck Series 2 Blaster Box

6 Packs, 8 Cards Per Pack

1 Jumbo Young Guns Per Blaster

$19.99 Per Blaster

Summary: Upper Deck Series 2 picks up where Series 1 ended. It includes a new batch of base cards which are cards 251-450, but most importantly Young Guns which is what the big draw is for Upper Deck's flagship product of hockey. Series 2 will include 50 cards,451-500, that fall 1:4 packs and includes the skaters not in Series 1.

You can find the following parallels as well for the base cards and Young Guns that includes, French, Clear Cut, Exclusives, and High Gloss.

The product also includes an Update Set for O-Pee-Chee that is rookie heavy alongside other inserts and Sp's. The Dazzlers insert continues to be my favorite and dazzling to say the least.

The autographs and relics are both rookie and veteran laden.

*takes a sip, begins to rip*

Here are the key cards from my break:

 

(jumbo Young Gun)

 

*takes a sip before finishing up today's break and post*

I didn't land one of the top Young Guns but being a rookie card collector I was pretty happy with just one. The O-Pee-Chee Lafreniere was a solid find for an update rookie for O-Pee-Chee being the top rookie going into the season collectors were hunting for. Also being a Rangers fan of the past helps with that one as well.

*takes one final sip, well for the post more sips are coming today, Coffee Card Blogger out*
