2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Collegiate Printing Plates Magenta #50 1 of 1

   

The Herschel Hoard is pleased to welcome another 1 of 1 card.  This time, it's a Magenta version of the Panini Contenders Draft Picks set.

A funny thing I noticed while reviewing this blog. I made an entry in February 2017, in which I noted that the Trading Card Database had a total of 800 cards listed for Herschel Walker, of which I had 571.

I also noted that several of those cards listed were printing plates, and that, "I'd never get any of those."  Today, the TCDB lists 936 cards for Walker, and I have 673 in my collection.  In addition, the printing plates are no longer an impossible dream. You just need persistence and a little luck. Happy Collecting!

2018 Panini Elite Draft Picks Aspirations Red #50

    I just managed to nab this Aspirations Red card of Herschel.  I got the Status Cut Red pretty early on, but it took awhile for this one.  The card is serial numbered to 49, with this example being number 12.

3 More From The 2018 Panini Contenders Set

     Here are three more additions to the Herschel Hoard, from the 2018 Panini Contenders set:

      First, is the Diamond Edition, which is serial numbered to 49.

     

My example is #34.  Next, we have the Building Blocks edition, which is serial numbered to 15.

This example is the 5th card of 15.  And finally, the toughest of the three, the Fame edition, which is serial numbered to just 5.

The above card is the first of five in that parallel series.

2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Collegiate Old School Colors #12

   

In continuing with the 2018 Panini Contenders set, here is a card with a bit of a different look. It is from the Old School Colors series.  Herschel's card number for this series is 12, where as it had been #50 for the other cards in the set.

This is one of three possible "gets" of  Walker in this particular series.  There is also an Old School Cracked Ice version, which is serial numbered to 23; and an Old School Championship version, which is a 1 of 1.

2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Collegiate Championship #50 1 of 1

     For the second time, the Herschel Hoard was able to acquire a 1 of 1 card.  In this instance, it is the 2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Collegiate Championship card # 50, featuring Herschel.

   

My other 1 of 1 card is a 1997 Pinnacle Printing Plate.  I'm very happy to add this unique card to the Hoard.
