Optic Project: Part 1
Optic Project: The Beginning and the Brady Holo I’ve always been a bit of a collector. I like to complete the base sets because what is the point of spending all that money for one or two big “hits” and throwing away all of the other cards. While being stuck and home and trying to catalog my entire card collection, I became very aware that I had some strong collections of base sets for Optic Football. Donruss Optic is my favorite set of the season. I can get hobby boxes on the internet and retail cards at Target and Walmart so it’s easily available. The Optic technology makes for a great looking card. It has a set size of 200 which makes collecting the base set something that’s doable. 100 base veterans, 50 base rookies, and 50 base Rated Rookies. Along with the base cards there are many parallels, each more difficult to find. Pink, Purple, Red & Yellow, Bronze, Aqua, Red, Blue, Purple, Green Gold. Some are numbered from 299 all the way down to Gold Vinyl 1 of 1. Some of them are ridiculous like White Sparkle, Green Velocity, and Black Pandora. Any given card can have about […]

The Loot Locker – May 2017
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 […]
