2013 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection- Ultimate Triple Patch #UJ3-JCW Bo Jackson/Earl Campbell/Herschel Walker

   



It's been awhile since I posted at the Herschel Hoard.   Truthfully, I haven't seen anything come up for sale that I didn't already have.

Don't get me wrong.  There are many cards of Herschel that I'm still looking for.   But someone has to want to part with them before I can add them to the Hoard.

In any case, I did come across this variation of the 2013 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Triple Patch set.

This is the set that features Herschel along with two other Heisman winners.  A player worn swatch is included from each.

In this version, Walker is shown with Earl Campbell and Bo Jackson.   In some of the other versions, he is shown with Barry Sanders or Billy Sims.

This one is serial numbered 18 out of 25.

Herschel Hoard Seek of the Week

     1996 Pacific  Red  and  Silver  parallels  #298
   



    I have the base card, and not too long ago picked up the blue, but so far, the red and silver parallels have eluded me.     The back of the card is the same for all cards.

Herschel Hoard Seek of the Week

     2019 Leaf In the Game Used -Franchise Favorites 6 Relics Purple # FRF 15

   

This is another new entry from Leaf, which I'm on the lookout for to add to the Hoard.  This card features 6 Dallas legends:  Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Bob Lilly, Michael Irvin, Bob Hayes and Herschel Walker.

This is the Purple version, shown here and serial numbered to 20.  The serial # is hard to see on this image, but it is in the lower middle, between the names of Hayes and Walker.

There are at least 6 versions of this card in addition to purple.  Gold, silver, magenta, platinum blue, red and a base relics card.

2012 Upper Deck Exquisite - Legacy Bookmark Jersey Autographs #ELBM6 Bo Jackson/Herschel Walker

   

This is a high end card from the 2012 Upper Deck Exquisite Legacy Bookmark line.  The card, or cards really, has four sides and opens up like a little book.

Above is what you'd see as the front cover if it was closed.  As can be seen, it features both Bo Jackson and Herschel on the cover.  You can also see that it's serial numbered to just 10, with this example being #2.

When the card is opened up, both players autographs and jersey swatches are revealed:



Finally, on the back cover, we have this:


I was always a big fan of Bo as well as Herschel, so I am pleased to be able to add this fancy card of two Heisman winners to the Herschel Hoard.

Herschel Hoard Seek of the Week

   I thought I would return to my Seek of the Week feature, which I have discussed before.  This is where I post a photo of a card front, which is not currently in the Hoard, but is on my radar.

   The images are courtesy of COMC.  Check out my cards.com.  The featured card this week is:

   

This is a 2008 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection  Ultimate Eight Jersey # UEJ7.   The card features jersey swatches of 8 popular Dallas Cowboys players, including Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Tony Romo, Marion Barber, Terrell Owens, Felix Jones and of course, our man, Herschel Walker.

This card image, and most other SOTW images are from COMC's sold out section.  Meaning, the cards aren't available for sale at the present time.  I can only get an image of the card fronts, so I couldn't show Walker, who is on the reverse of this one.

The card is serial numbered to 10.   I hope it someday makes its way into the Hoard.
