ONLINE DOLLAR BOX PART 3: THEM DAWGS

I'VE COLLECTED GEORGIA BULLDOGS CARDS SINCE THE EARLY 90S WITH THOSE OLD CHEAP COLLEGIATE COLLECTION PACKS THEY SOLD AT THE UNVERSITY BOOKSTORE AT A HEFTY MARKUP. I'VE GOT A PRETTY DECENT AMOUNT OF THEM THROUGH THE 00'S BUT NOT MUCH SINCE I QUIT COLLECTING FOOTBALL ON A REGULAR BASIS. GEORGIA'S THE BEST THEY'VE EVER BEEN AT THE MOMENT SO I'VE BEEN CATCHING UP AND PICKING UP NEWER PLAYERS WHEN I STUMBLE ACROSS THEM. I FOUND A COUPLE FANCY ONES IN THE ONLINE DOLLAR BOX AND COULDN'T PASS THEM UP

2022 SELECT DRAFT PICKS MATTHEW STAFFORD

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE PANINI DRAFT PICKS SETS OTHER THAN YOU CAN FIND A LOTTA PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE LEAGUE FOR YEARS IN THERE. ALL THE PRESS PASS AND SA*GE SETS WERE ONLY MADE UP OF CURRENT YEAR PROSPECTS WITH MAYBE ONE OR TWO LEGENDS IN THERE. USUALLY COACHES. I LIKE THE PANINI STYLE OF DOING THINGS AS I'VE PICKED UP A COUPLE NICE NICK CHUBB CARDS AT THE LCS AND NOW I'VE FOUND THIS SUPER SHINY MATTHEW STAFFORD CARDS WITH RED BORDERS AND SPARKLEY SQUARES EVERYWHERE. I'M SURE THIS IS CALLED A SPECTRAL RUBY CUBIST PRIZM PARALLEL OR SOME SUCH NONSENSE BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE IT'S BULLDOG COLORS AND SUPER SHINY AND MAKES MY EYES GO CROSSED WHEN I LOOK AT IT. IN A GOOD WAY

2022 WILD CARD MATTE QUAY WALKER #134/250

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK NEW WILD CARD IS, I'M USED TO THE OLD ONES THAT HAVE THE CARD MULTIPLIERS ON THEM THAT ALL BRICK TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THEM IN 30 YEARS. I WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS ONE BUT IT HAD A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT AND THAT MEANS SUPER EXTRA ADDED VALUE SO I GOT IT. I'M GLAD I DID, THIS THING LOOKS GREAT. THE GREEN BACKGROUND REALLY IS MATTE WHILE THE PLAYER AND GOLD TEXT IS GLOSSY AND KIND OF EMBOSSED SOMEHOW. IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE LOOKING CARD AND QUAY IS PLAYING VERY WELL FOR THE PACKERS. I NEED TO TRACK DOWN AS MANY OF THESE PLAYERS FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS AS I CAN SO I CAN REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WHEN THE DAWGS EVENTUALLY FALL BACK DOWN TO EARTH

THE BACKS ARE ALSO DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE MINIMALISM SPECTRUM. PANINI'S BACK IS BORING AND LAZY AS ALWAYS WHILE THE WILD CARD BACK IS CLASSY LOOKING AND -GASP- EVEN HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHOTO! VERY NICE INDEED

UP NEXT: NOPE, NOT BRAVES YET
