2022 Panini Classics Timeless Tributes Black 1 of 1 (And some one of one statistics)

                 

               

          I was fortunate enough to have added another 1 of 1 card to the Hoard. This is a 2022 Panini Classics Timeless Tributes Black card, featuring Herschel Walker. It was fairly expensive, as most one of one's usually are. The serial number designation can be seen on the left side of the card back, beneath the Cowboys star.

          As of right now, the TCDB lists 1,464 possible Herschel Walker cards over a 40-year span, from 1984, through 2024. I currently have 1,029 cards in the Hoard. That leaves 435 cards yet to obtain. Of those, 173 are one of one's. I don't know how accurate this data is. It's possible there are cards on Walker's TCDB page, which are unique, but for some reason or another, don't have the 1 of 1 designation. Also, these figures include none of the 2022 "Decision" political cards, some of which are unique, but I refuse to collect those.

         So long as any 1 of 1 cards that show up are not crazy expensive, I'll be interested, but as I've often stated, I really would like to pick off some of my most wanted cards, from the 1990's. Trouble is, they almost never show up.

2022 Panini Mosiac Choice Nebula #236 One of One

               

 

              

          I was able to obtain a 1 of 1 card from the 2022 Panini Mosiac series, featuring Herschel Walker. This is a Choice Nebula card, identifiable by the pink coloring in the upper left on the card front. The 1 of 1 designation can be seen on the back of the card, in the upper left corner. 

2018 Panini Georgia Bulldogs Update #50

                 

               

          I will collect any Herschel Walker card which I don't already have, but I tend to make those that don't have images uploaded onto the TCDB, a priority. This card is an exception. The image was uploaded to the TCDB website in January 2019, by another member. It is difficult to find, as it doesn't show up for sale very often.

          The card is a 2018 Panini Georgia Bulldogs Update card of Walker. It is part of a three-card set, made to update a 2015 Panini Georgia Bulldogs set. Walker is #50 in the set. The other two cards are also Bulldogs running back legends. #51 is Nick Chubb and #52 is Sony Michel.

          This card recently showed up on Ebay and was listed at a great price, so it now has a new home in the Herschel Hoard.

2023 Panini Playoff National Treasures Synced Signatures # SS-WS

 

               

            A great looking dual autographed card of Herschel and Cowboys Hall of Famer, Emmitt Smith. This is a limited set which has only two different cards in the checklist. This one, and one of Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. This is card # 1 of 49. The serial number designation can be seen on the right of the card front.

2024 Leaf In The Game Used Gr8's Running Backs GUG-12

           

          

          This is the first 2024 Herschel Walker card I've picked up. It is a multi-player, memorabilia card, featuring game used swatches from eight legendary running backs in NFL history. It is from the Leaf in the Game Used set, the subset is Gr8's (Greats) running backs.

            Along with Walker, the other seven running backs shown on the card are: Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, LaDainian Tomlinson, Tony Dorsett, Thurman Thomas, Eddie George and Bronco Nagurski.

         This card set is yet to be uploaded to the TCDB, at least on Herschel's page. His cards only go up to 2023 at this point. Uploading entire checklists is beyond my scope. I'll leave that to someone else, but as soon as it's there, I'll upload this card.  I'm guessing there are various numbered parallels in this set, as this card in numbered 10 of 35, which can be seen on lower right corner of the card front.

2022 Leaf In The Game Used Sports-Big Ticket Signatures#BTS-HW1

           

               

         I thought this was a pretty cool card. This card is from the 2022 Leaf in the Game Used Sports- Big Ticket Signatures set. It is a 20-card set of autographed cards, featuring a ticket from a game in which a famous athlete participated in during their career.

          In this case, it's a ticket from a USFL football game, played on Sunday, May 6, 1984, between the Oklahoma Outlaws and Herschel Walker's New Jersey Generals. The game was a blowout, with the Generals winning, 49-17. Walker rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries and had three touchdowns. One of his scores came on a 62-yard run. The score was so lopsided that Herschel sat out the entire fourth quarter.

         I like the concept of this card. Nice to see some different ideas from the card companies.

     It's been quiet here at the Hoard. This is my first post in over a month. It has been really hard to find new product that doesn't have that "every card is damn near the same" feel. Also, the older cards I'm looking for are showing up less and less. My top ten list has been dormant for a long time. In that vein, next week will be another "clean out the cache of Panini examples."

      The goal as always, is to collect as many different Walker cards as I can, but Panini Draft Picks don't always rate an individual post. The current total count in the Hoard is 1, 023.
