Ok, so I was left on my own this weekend which usually means copious amounts of time at the Local Card Shop. The wife is away in Houston, having attended the funeral of a dear friend's mother.
So, I decided to use some "fun money" on some football cards... this will be a multi-part post as I bought a bunch... so I'll start with the 2012 Crown Royale. The more I see this set, the more I like it. It looks great and I am a sucker for die cut base cards, what can I say...
So a big part of the set is the parallels to the base set... here are the ones I picked up today...
I kind of like the Calvin Johnson the best, it looks even more impressive in person. I picked up a few Texans in the packs as well. Here are my hits from all my packs of Crown Royale today:
I am pretty happy with the Randle and the Tannehill! A die cut patch relic?!?! The Randle is nice and low numbered as well! The Tannehill is already up on eBay, the Randle may soon join it. But as always, my non-Texans stuff is up for trade. If anyone needs base cards, I'm getting a nice stack of those as well.
Are there any football collectors following? I don't know how well these football posts are being received... am I turning off my loyal baseball readers? Does apathy abound? Am I talking to myself?
Alright... well, hope you enjoyed, tomorrow I'll show you what I got from 2012 Momentum.
I love the football posts, I just have no interest in that draft class. But I like seeing how you do on your breaks. That's a really nice Megatron!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' the football posts as well. Crown Royale looks great this year!
ReplyDeleteIt's football season, though people are loving the 2013 topps design, i'm sure a lot are focusing on football because of growing disdain for Topps!
ReplyDeleteI'd love any Falcons you have. I'll look at my Texans and Oilers and see if we can work out a trade.
ReplyDeleteNice. I get some Crown Royale every year. Very nice looking product.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would do crown royale baseball
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see football posts so keep 'em coming. If you put any Panthers aside for me I'll make sure to put Texans aside for you.
