Coffee Break:2025 Donruss Football Holiday Tin

Good morning Coffee and Card friends!

As expected, I didn't expect a lot of cards for Christmas from family as it's been that way the last few years.

Unlike my blogging family who sent me some really cool stuff, that's for another day.

I did get a few things to open to satisfy that craving and a couple gift cards as well so I was a happy "kid". 

The first thing I got to open was a 2025 Donruss football tin.

Last year I did pretty well when I got one of these pulling some key rookies and pulling an autograph so I was pretty excited to be able to break another one this year.

Each tin comes with 3 packs of 5 cards. Depending on where you buy them, price ranges for these can be between $12.99-$19.99.

There are no guarantees in terms of hits other than 15 cards.

Instead of boring you with mostly base cards, though I am still pro-base, I summed up the key cards I got in this break.

My best rookie pull which was Omarion Hampton, no relation to my guy Rodney.

I pulled one purple Press Proof parallel in each pack,

Mark Brunell, who still is one of my favorite quarterbacks of the 90's.

Kyle McCord. Not sure this guy will ever see the field.

This poor guy got traded to the team featured on the card with him.

Next up, inserts.

Shedeur Sanders Bomb Squad, probably my best pull of the tin.

Dominators Bijan Robinson. What a season this guy had!

 

Eric Ayomanor Elite Series Rookies. Love that shine!

Well, that does it for the tin. Nothing too great, nothing too bad. It was meh. It was what you paid for.

Let me know your thoughts on this break in comments and if you have broken one of these before.

I would also like to point out the new way pictures will be taken this year. Hope you like it!

Have a terrific Tuesday.

Coffee Break:2025 Mosaic Football Blaster Box #1

It is time!

I am beginning my show off of retail wax that I got in the 9-card lot of autograph Daniel Jones cards I traded away. If you missed that, here is the ARTICLE.

I thought I would start out with the football blasters first.

Without further ado, let's start to rip and take a sip with these highlights,

Dillion Gabriel rookie card. He started off okay as the Browns starter, now he is riding the pine for the other Browns rookie with a bigger last name and background.

The next three rookies are base card variations. But, before you get too excited, they are actually worth less than the base rookies. I don't know why.

Cam Ward is an okay football player on a really bad team. I am kind of glad now the Giants got who they got in Jaxson Dart.

Judkins has shown flashes this season. Could be a big part of the Browns next season.

And Ashton Jeanty. This guy was real fly in college, than he came to the Raiders where all NFL players hopes and dreams die.

Next up, insert pulls. The inserts in Mosaic unless they are parallels are really dull like the base.

Not bad names on the insert pulls, it's just that they aren't worth much and are kind of lame.

Let's hope the parallel pulls are better.

No relation to my main PC guy, but Omarion has had a great start to the season when he is healthy on the field. Solid find here with the green parallel.

Kyle Williams rookie insert parallel.

Kareem Hunt "Mosaic" parallel.

New to blasters this year, the Fluorescent Orange parallel. Kind of cool and not a bad player to find either. This parallel falls one-per-blaster this year.

And finally,

 

Mean Joe Greene green parallel. Say that five times fast without coffee in your mouth.

Nothing to really too exciting in box one. No Giants for my PC. No autograph finds. No case hits. Not really any player PC finds either like Mahomes. I would say the Hampton was the find of the box then Jefferson.

Let me know if you agree in comments.

Tomorrow I will post the other box break of Mosaic, let's hope it outdoes box one.
