Favorite Card Thursday: David Wilson Rookies And Stars Crusade Patch

Even if you are not a Giants fan, you have gotta love this card. Nice swatch of patch. Very well designed as this was my favorite memorabilia design of the 2012 card season.

Any thoughts on this player or the card? Just comment below!

Box Breakers: Rookies and Stars Football Hobby Box 2012

For the third time I busted a box of Rookies and Stars football and for the third time I am very happy with my results. If you haven't given this product a try, I strongly recommend you too. Its a very nicely designed product and the rookie jersey autos are very clean basic design that stands out.

Base Cards
Rookie Cards (there were ton including Eagles standout Bryce Brown!!)
Inserts
Longevity Inserts
Team Flag inserts
Jersey Card
Rookie Auto
Finally! My first David Wilson Auto! Only supposed to be one of these per box..lucked out!
In terms of cost and return on this box...I rate this break a :

5/5

Random Card Of The Day: Terelle Pryor 2011 Rookies And Stars Longevity Rookie Card

It will be interesting to see how some more playing time on the field suits Pryor as he makes his first NFL start today with the Raiders. Will he be able to play with NFL defenses...time can only tell if he is the future for the Raiders while Carson Palmer brings him along or if he will be another failed  Raiders QB experiement.

Any thoughts on Terrell Pryor?

Box Breakers: Rookies And Stars Football 2011

Here is one of FOUR Christmas present breaks I got to do early! I have broken this product before and did better. I would say this was the best break out of the four Christmas ones.. Here is the gallery of a box break!

Base Cards

Rookies
Jonathan Baldwin jersey..I dig the design but disappointed by the jersey number
Nice pull from the box
Nicks is numbered to 99
Why..Phil..why did you have to appear in my box!!
Finally this Powell pulls might pay off. He seems to be the future for the Jets. And I really dig these manu-autos.
Can't say this was a great break...but for the price that was paid for it..it works. The Ingram was nice and would be nicer if he got more playing time like he has more of recent. But I like multicolor patches.

I would rate this break a

3/5

Our Player Of The Day Winners Break of Panini Rookies And Stars



Michael Egnew 2012 Rookies & Stars Game Used Jersey #188/399 

DEVON STILL 2012 ROOKIES & STARS RC AUTOGRAPH AUTO 221/999 

We received an email yesterday afternoon with the break from Hamster87 who apologized for taking so long to share.But some pretty impressive cards he pulled. He only sent us the picture of the Claiborne and Blackmon autos above. The other two pulls he just told us in the email so we found pictures of examples to share of them. This would make for a pretty small blog post without the pics. There seemed to be some value hiding in this box as the Claiborne BV's for $40 and the Blackmon for $60. Not too shabby for a free box.  Blackmon has a lot of talent and showed his potential at times while Claiborne a few times this season has shown he can be a shut down corner. Congrats again to Hamster87 and we hope you enjoy your pulls.

Once again congrats to all of our winners from the Player Of The Day promotion and if you liked our promotion and would love for us to host it again...please let Panini know! Tell them on Facebook, Twitter @paniniamerica or @paninipod or you can drop Mr. Tracy Hackler a line telling them you enjoyed the promotion and would love to see Sport Card Collectors do it again next year.

As always thank you for your support!

My Christmas List to Santa

Dear Santa, (With a few revisions and things I forgot after thinking my list through more..hope you don't mind Santa. Revisions made in red)

This year I have been a very good boy. I have created this blog to give my opinions, help others in the hobby the best way I can, and gave a ton of cards away. I try very hard to improve the blog and improve what is posted on here (as you can tell by the many changes that were here), what the giveaways are and try to interact with the fans as much as possible.And all that I ask is for a few things in return on my Christmas list

  • First off, I would love to have more subscribers to the blog, more views and more people who like my page on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter. The fans are my number one want. The more the better! I want what some of the other blogs have for traffic and be one of the "big" blogs! Not that I am complaining about the good traffic we already get. Thanks for that Santa.
  • Second, here is a little wish list of Christmas hobby boxes I would like among many others. Mostly Panini. It doesn't have to be more than one...just wanted to give you a few options. But if you wanted to get more than one...I won't argue. (sorry for the bad pics Santa..) Just look for the word Panini.
2012 Panini Contenders Football Hobby Box 
2012 Panini Crown Royale Football Hobby Box 
2012 Panini Totally Certified Football Hobby Box
2012 Panini Certified Football Hobby Box 
2012 Panini Rookies & Stars Football Hobby Box 
Panini America 2012-13 Prizm Main
Really want!
Panini America 2012 Prizm Football Main
How Could I forget this!

  •  I wouldn't mind finally having a Eli Manning autograph card. I don't care about brand. Just to have one finally in my collection. 
  • Would LOVE to have any of the Panini Black Friday Super Bowl memorabilia cards of the Giants in my stocking this year!
  • A few more jersey, patch, autos of Giants players would be nice too and some nice patch cards of other players as well as my PC is very open.
  • A big pull finally. Something I can brag about and post on here and Twitter.
  • A nice Andrew Luck or RG3 auto card
  • A lucky 2013 with lots of mojo and a Giants Super Bowl victory....please?
  • I would also like to land a few interviews of big names in the hobby such as Tracy Hackler and any other Panini employee willing to give one!
  • Also would like for Santa to drop the 2012 Panini NFL Sticker Back A into a stocking as well
  • Card supplies! Top loaders, penny sleeves, binders, boxes, 9 card count pages.
  • I also wouldn't mind adding more affiliates whether they are other blogs, box break sites, others just to spread the word on this blog more and to help out others in the hobby as well by posting their links here! Sharing is caring! We are all in this together to keep the hobby alive!
  • I would also ask you give something extra special to Panini this year and every employee. They have done so much for this blog by sponsoring it, allowing us to participate in the Player Of The Day promo, answering questions on Twitter, Facebook and email and helping us spread the word on the blog. It may take some time to get a response sometimes, but they always answer you. Without them, this blog would not be possible. Not to mention, they are the only company to interact with their fans as much as possible. Make sure that all of them get whatever they ask for and a bonus. They deserve it! They also deserve a big end of 2012 and all of 2013 as they put up the best promo's in the business to take care of all of us.
  • One more thing for Panini, please allow them to get a MLB license as well. We need the competition in the MLB card department! I am sure they would appreciate that in their stocking!
  • Finally, I hope that all of my readers have a very Happy Holiday with their family and loved ones! And if you are putting cards under their tree this year that they have the biggest mojo they have had all year long. This blog has the best dedicated fans!
Thank you Santa and I will leave the homemade no bake cookies on the counter with a glass of milk as always. And I promise to try and not to stay up for you this time (though sharing cookies with you sounds like fun)

SPORT CARD COLLECTORS PANINI'S PLAYER OF THE DAY CONTEST #4

2012 Panini Rookies & Stars Football Hobby Box 
There are 6 players on the front of the box, from left of Calvin Johnson, Eli Manning, Trent Richardson, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin. Choose ONE player and give us the amount of TD's for only their main category such passing, running, or receiving that player will have WITHOUT going over!! So if for example, RG3 passes for 2 TD's and runs for 1.we are only counting the 2 TD's he passed for since he is a QB and his main scoring comes from passing. This is part 1 of the contest...part 2 is to pick the winner of these five games. But in order to move onto part 2..you must get part 1 right! If you go over on part 1...part 2 will not count unless everyone else doesn't get part 1 right. 0 is an answer for part 1...but remember if they score 3td's that could hurt you in the second part because you will be 3 off when someone else might be closer. But its a risk you could take and it could reward you.

Here are the 5 games:

Dallas @ Baltimore


NYG @ SF

Minn @ Wash

Green Bay @ Houston

SD @ Denver

The person closest to getting the amount of TD's and the most games wins this week. Winner will be announced on Tuesday 16th.
