Incoming ONIT

I got my 5th (I think) package from ONIT Athlete. I signed up for their monthly box mainly because they had other sports that I don't get often so I was annoyed when the first 3 packages were all football. Do I want the football, of course, but I only keep 1 of each card so when you keep sending packs of the same product, my cost per card goes up because I only account for the cards I keep. I'm ok with dupes because they get sent off to Dennis but that doesn't mean I want a ton of them. I emailed them after the last box and told them exactly that and I will be dropping it if I don't start seeing some other sports.

Let's see if they listened. You get 5 packs per box. Only 1 pack was football which was nice to see. There are 79 cards in the team set, I'm now at 47 so I definitely need some more.

2 more for the team set and a couple of inserts. I like the inserts but I have no idea what they are called so I can't add them in on TCDB. I have a few from the other packages scanned and ready if I could figure out what they are. The Mikey Keene auto (#'d to /10) was in a magnetic holder in the package as well. I generally get the autos in a separate package which tells me they are at least making sure I get autos as well. I've received a #1/1 auto of Fredrick Moore late last year.

I also got 2 packs of men's basketball, there is only 16 cards in this set so I'm over half on it. I'm happy to have the Yaxel already as he is crushing it.

Also happy to get a card of Morez as I have been impressed by his play as well. This is one of those inserts that I have no idea what they are called.

This is what I really wanted because you can't find woman's basketball cards anywhere. You can occasionally find WNBA cards but how many actually make it there? There were 4 that I wanted, I believe all are Sophmores, Olson, Swords and Delfosse were 3 of them so I got all but Holloway. There are only 14 in this team set so it's over half as well.

I also got this unnamed insert of Olson who is crushing it. Her and Swords are my 2 favorite on the team but they are a really good team and I hope they start broadcasting more since they are doing so well. I've been watching them when I can.

I don't know how long I'll stick with the box service with ONIT because eventually I'll just be getting a ton of duplicates. I'm also waiting to see if they do other sports (that would be awesome) but I think that might be it.

Doing Deals at Work

I mentioned in the last post that I had a guy at work that I trade with as well. He goes to a lot more shows that I do and he likes to dig through boxes so he always buy's cheaper cards for me. He'll give them to me and I'll go through them and give back whatever I have. I also give him all my top loaders and penny sleeves that I'm not using. Because I give him what I already have, he has quite the Michigan and Sox collection which is hilarious because he's a Notre Dame and Cubs fan.

Let's see what Fred brought me this past week.

Some shiny and some guys I have a lot of. The Tatis is numbered to /99 and the Vaughn is to /100. There are 3 guys up there that I used to PC but don't anymore. I have over 300 of Eloy and Robert each.

He always gets me shiny stuff which I don't usually come across a lot of with what I do in cards so these are always appreciated.

Since we started with teams, I'll throw this one up here as well before I get to my PC's.

Right now I still have Hinton in the Michigan collection, even though he is in the league, he doesn't have much in cards. The only major release he's included in is Prizm and they are all Autographs. Keene was with the team up until the portal opened up and has gone to ASU., his 4th college team. Don't get me started on that.

I started collecting the Fab 5 last year, not sure why it took me so long considering they are the reason I became a Michigan fan way back in high school (please don't estimate my age, it's getting up there.) These 2 cards of Juwan give me 152 cards of him.

2 posts in a row with a Larkin, maybe good signs to come on his PC this year. 781 cards of the Hall of Famer.

Another Nico as well. He always gets me a bunch of Nico cards which is why he's at 103 now.

I just started PCing Woodson last year as well so there are still plenty of older cards of him that I need to add. This one gives me 102 of another Hall of Famer.

These were scanned separately because I got them at different times. I just got the one on the left this past week. These 2 cards of Hutch give me 85 cards of him.

He did give me 1 (former) Sox PC with this Blue Sheets which is my 84th of Gavin.

He also picked up this trio of Cronenworth cards. That is the 2nd auto of Jake he has picked up for me. Non licensed and stickers so they were only a couple of bucks but I'll take them. The Rookie Class set confuses me on which one I have, I believe that is the base and I already had the Emerald one. These 3 give me 114 cards of the former Wolverine.

I'm out until another day.
