The Loot Locker – May 2017

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

It’s that time again.  My Loot Locker came about 2 weeks ago, but I’m just getting to post about now.   Usually I have some pretty good luck with Loot Lockers, but this was not one of my best.  Here is the breakdown. Three Hobby Packs 2015 Topps Platinum 2016 Donruss Optic Football 2017 Score Football Noting special to report from the Topps Platinum.  I’ve already built the base set in 2015 Topps Platinum and am just working on the Golds…I got an Eddie Lacy which I already had. Donruss Optic wasn’t much better, none of the cards helped with that base set and the “hit” was the following card. 2016 Donruss Optic Football #174 Jeff Driskel 228/299 Finally, I opened the 2017 Score Football pack. I’ve always liked Score, maybe because it’s cheaper and has more base cards to try and collect.  But this year’s version looks quite nice.  The photos used are great and the design is clean.  Here are a few that I pulled. 2017 Score Football #151 Trevor Siemian Gold 03/50 Here are some of the other cards in the pack. 2017 Score Football #106 Sammie Coates Scorecard 2017 Score Football #105 LeSean McCoy 2017 Score Football […]

Yes, it’s almost June. I’ve been neglecting my posts. I have about 6 or 7 in the works just about ready to post with another 3-4 stored up in my huge noggin. But since it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything please take a look at my last Loot Locker. Without further delay…the April Loot Locker. Three Hobby Packs 2016 Donruss Optic Football 2016 Panini Draft Picks Prizm Football 2016 Panini Clear Vision Football 2016 Donruss Optic Football 2016 Donruss Optic – Holo #129 Rookies – Kevin Dodd 2016 Panini Draft Picks Prizm Football 2016 Panini Prizm Collegiate Draft Picks – Prizms #72 Matt Forte 2016 Panini Prizm Collegiate Draft Picks – Prizms Autographs #193 Jason Spriggs 2016 Panini Clear Vision Football 2016 Panini Clear Vision – #24 Ameer Abdullah 2016 Panini Clear Vision – #97 Randall Cunningham 2016 Panini Clear Vision – Clear Rivals – Blue #9 Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin 83/99   No big hit, but overall not too bad. To go along with the Optic Holo,I also pulled two cards that I need to complete the base set of 2016 Optic. As always all are for trade or sale. Hit me up.

Mail Day – Feb. 27th 2017

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

Over the last month or so I started breaking with a group of collectors that I met through twitter. Mr. Fox at Fox’s Fire Card (@brownsfan83) runs them whenever he gets enough people to buy them out. It’s a nice small group and I like that I can often get the Bills in any “pick your team” break. Today I got my first package from the breaks and while I didn’t get anything great on the Buffalo Bills end I did get some nice cards. Here is the breakdown of the teams and products I bought 2015 Donrus Football – 5 Box Break (Bills, Panthers, Giants) 2016 Limited (Bills, Panthers) 2016 Crown Royale (Bills, Panthers, Lions, Giants) And here are some of the highlights… 2016 Panini Limited – Rookie Autographs – Jeremy Cash 01/99 2015 Panini Crown Royale – #31 Victor Cruz 2015 Panini Crown Royale – Pink Ribbons Die-Cuts – Green #PR12 Cam Newton 2015 Panini Crown Royale – #118 Quandre Diggs 2015 Panini Donruss – Stat Line Receptions #276 Gridiron Kings – Odell Beckham Jr. 079/143 2015 Panini Donruss – Press Proof Purple #149 – Luke Kuechly 112/199 2015 Panini Donruss – Passing the Torch Memorabilia #PTM-CAR 2015 […]

2013 Rookies and Stars Longevity – Box 1

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

As I’ve stated before I buy a lot of my cards from www.dacardworld.com. Not only are they a great Buffalo company but they also have some of the best prices on the internet. I’ve done breaks with them but I mostly buy boxes when they go on sale or clearance. So when I saw these cards go on sale for under 20 bucks a box I bought a bunch. Here are the details: Look for Four Autographs or Memorabilia Cards per Box, including at least One Autograph! Find Freshman Orientation and Dress for Success Rookie Material Cards! Look for Exclusive Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Parallels as well as Material, Signature, and Signature Material Versions! Featuring a 240-card Base Set, consisting of 100 Longevity Commons, 100 Longevity Rookies, and 40 Rookie Materials Longevity Ruby!
