My Five Best Pack Hits

 


This is a blog bat-around that Matty K started.  Ironically, since it's just relics and serial numbered cards (not rookie cards), there won't be any baseball.  Anyway ...

Honorable Mention:  Kurt Warner (Arizona Cardinals) 

2016 Donruss Pro Bowl Kings relic card

5.  John Randle (Minnesota Vikings) 

2019 Score Defenders Jerseys relic card






  





4.  Bruce Smith (Buffalo Bills) 

2019 Score Defenders Jerseys relic card











3.  Tom Brady (New England Patriots) 

2008 Topps Gold (SN2008)











I don't get it, but the prices shown on TCDB are high by my standards. 

2.  Emmitt Smith (Dallas Cowboys) 

2019 Panini Black Friday Hyperplaid relic card (SN5)

I dealt this in an 8 for 7 trade that landed me a 1970 Roberto Clemente.











1.  Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings)

2008 Topps All-Pro In the Name relic card (SN1)

I traded it for the following:

Len Dawson - 2000 Upper Deck Legends autographed card

John Mackey - 2007 Donruss Classics Significant Signatures Gold autographed card (SN100)











Ozzie Newsome - 1999 SP Signature autographed card 











Warren Moon - 2018 Donruss Changing Stripes Jerseys double relic card (Oilers relic on the front, Vikings relic on the back) (SN99)

Scoring from My Dealer

 


Another largish order from COMC.  Let's look at a few:




-  I finally got a playing days Mays for my Giants team page.

-  De Busschere was a two-sport guy - more known as a Knick.

-  Malarchuk was almost killed when a skate blade sliced this throat.  Here, he teaches a commoner how to treat goalies. 

-  My first Orr finally. 

-  Parent and Esposito:  stud goalies with fashionable masks. 

-  Butkus for my Bears page.  

-  My first Bednarik.

-  Sipe adds to my tiny USFL collection. 

-  Josh Allen COVID mask variant.  I now have all the good players' COVID mask variants in this set. 

-  Alex Morgan Pitch Queen.  

-  Danica with a tire piece from a race.
