1982 Georgia Football Pocket Schedule Sponsored by A.B. Dick

   


I added another pocket football schedule to the Hoard.  This one features Herschel's junior season schedule at the University of Georgia in 1982.

Duplicating Systems Inc; a branch of the A.B. Dick company sponsored the schedules.  This is the third pocket schedule to feature Herschel in my collection.  Previously I showed one when he played with Dallas and Minnesota.

2018 Panini National Treasures #108 Update

   


Panini continues to astound me with the mish mosh way they issue their cards. Cards with numbers not matching the checklists, different dates from the date of issue, etc.   This is a base card of Herschel from the 2018 Panini National Treasures set, an "update", I guess,  but the card is dated 2015, and is from the multi sport collection. Why not just date it 2018, and call it an update on the card itself?

I uploaded this card to Herschel's 2015 page on the TCDB, as there was a space already there with the correct card #, and serial #.   Speaking of serial numbers, this card is #70 of 99.

You may ask, if I'm so confused by Panini, why do I collect them?  The answer is, as a single player collector, you try to get as many different cards as you can.  You know you'll never get them all, but if you come across one you don't have, it becomes a target.

2013 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Triple Patch #UJ3-SJW


   


I'm taking a little break from the 2018 Panini sets,(though I have more to add), to feature another card I just picked up.   This is from the 2013 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection.  This memorabilia series features college stars in their respective uniforms.

There are a number of varieties.  Duals, with two players, triples, with three, and quads, with four players shown.  Herschel is on cards with Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson, as shown here; and he is also featured with Earl Campbell and Billy Sims.  

This is my fifth card in the set that shows Walker with another player.  This particular issue is serial numbered to 25, with this being #17.

2018 Panini Immaculate Collegiate Jumbo Patch Autograph #25


   


Here is another autographed/memorabilia  Herschel Walker card, which just made its way into the Hoard.  As explained previously, despite the card back showing the date as 2015, this came out of a 2018 Panini Immaculate pack.

This card has a low serial run of just 10, with this being the #1.

2018 Panini Immaculate Collegiate Numbers #43



   


This is Herschel's card in the "Numbers" subset of the 2018 Panini Immaculate Collegiate set.  The numbers refer to the player's jersey #, and the cards are serial numbered to that amount.  Hence, in Walker's case, his card is serial numbered to 34, with this example being #27.   The card contains a jersey swatch.
