Giants Chrome “Wind” Rookie: Derrick Ward

When I was going through my “Team” box to see if there were any cards I have forgotten about, I came across this beauty in the Jets section: 2004 Bowman Chrome Red #/210 rookie. This one is supposed to be an uncirculated card, but it doesn’t have the case that those came in. And I

Strahan’s Number 92 Retired Today

During today’s game, the New York Football Giants will be retiring Michael Strahan’s number 92 at halftime. And it is fitting that the game is against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.

Eli Manning Rookie Autograph

With it being Giant’s gameday Monday night, I thought I would post the two Eli Manning rookie autographs that I have. Both of these were bought back in 2004 at a local card show when I started collecting again (like most, I stopped collecting for 10 years and started again after my kid was born).

Autograph #152: 2019 Select White Prizm #/5

This is the 4 autograph in the rainbow that I have been able to obtain. I have the maroon, tie-dye and green die-cut(check out the blog if you missed any). That leaves ONLY 9 more to go. Only 3 of them have print counts of 10 or higher, so I am little surprised that I

Printing Plate #19: 2015 UD Goodwin Champions

This 2015 UD Goodwin Champions black printing plates is the newest addition to the collection. While I am not a fan of this type of card (athletes in plainclothes), it was still a so-called 1 of 1 that I could get for less then $10 so I had to add it. As the title says,

In Person: Harry Carson

At the Giant’s game this past weekend (this was the best thing about going to the game), I had the opportunity to meet Harry Carson at the SAP combine. I actually showed up a little late for one of these signing and was one of the last fans on line. Security mentioned since he is

Unique Way to Collect

One of the greatest things about going to the Giants game (you know it is not their performance in recent years) is that before each game they have several former players doing meet and greets around the stadium. And a lot of times, these former players will make multiple appearances during the year or years.
