2025 Favorite Cards and Action Figure

 

These favorite cards posts are one I look forward to every year.  This Eric Dickerson card takes top honors this year.  I really like the colors, the photo, it's a simple design, and the great look at Dickerson's eyes and goggles.  In June I posted this card and other Dickerson cards I got in a Eric Dickerson card lot on eBay.  There are a few good-looking cards in the lot.
This Giannis was close behind.  I thought this 2021-2022 Donruss card did a great job with the photo and subtle design elements making it feel like a show.  It was posted in March.


This 1992 Pro Set Racing card is one of Jeff Gordon's first cards and a big reason I picked up some packs to open.  It's very simple but a card I like.  This one was also posted in March.  

Cards found in this post are cards I posted in 2025.  I'll show of my favorite from each sport and non-sport as well as my favorite action figure.  Why I like them or choose them can be random and it doesn't matter if they are old or new.  

This cool looking card is from a 2024 Upper Deck Marvel Studios Series 2 Cinematic blaster that I also posted in March.  I like the retro lunchbox vibe, and the colors and design really work for me.  I like it.
This 2025 Topps Elly De La Cruz I showed off in August has a nice photo and framing.  A really good use of the horizontal cards from Topps.
This 2022-2023 Upper Deck Trevor Moore was in a June post.  I didn't post much hockey this year, but I kept coming back to this card.  It's the intensity of the bench players that really draws me in here.  Good job Upper Deck.


This Topps Chrome Rhea Ripley was posted in February.  Ripley is very photogenic, and this made for an easy pick.


This Baylan Skoll figure looks really good.  I posted him in May along with Shin Hati, both of the Ahsoka series.  He really captures the actor's looks and is a great addition to the collection.

These are so much fun. Everyone have a fun and safe New Year's Eve!

1997 Pinnacle NASCAR Random Group Break (Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Bill Elliottt, Jeff Green)

1997 Pinnacle:  I was part of a random group break of '97 Pinnacle last year and somehow ended up with some of NASCAR's greatest drivers.  Dale Sr. is the highlight though of course Jeff Gordon is no slouch.  And Bill Elliott is a great driver as well.  Not sure how I got this lucky but I'll take it.  Classic look from Dale in this photo.
Great look at the colors and look we associate with Dale Sr's car.
Plenty of cool cards.  
A legend, Dale Sr. was a seven-time champion.
Pinnacle tinkered with different designs.  Some work.  Some make you wonder.  Not saying these are bad.  Just different.  But Intimidator is right.  Dale was just that.
The NASCAR Dayton Duels are tonight on Fox Sports 1.  These will set the lineup for Sunday's first race of the season in Daytona.
In turn 4 on the way to victory maybe?  This legend had 76 wins in his career. 
Jeff Gordon seemed the antithesis of Dale Sr. but was no less a competitor.  Jeff Gordon won 93 races and four championships.
UNRIVALED: EARNHARDT vs. GORDON is a great documentary any NASCAR fan should watch.
A Jeff Green pull.  I'm a Scooby fan so I'm happy.
Bill Elliott, a one-time champion, had 44 wins in his illustrious career and won a crazy 16 Most Popular Driver awards.  His son Chase is a favorite of mine in the sport today and also had a championship on his resume as well as five Most Popular Driver awards.
Elliott also had off track pursuits.  Or maybe this was his attempt at making a track.  That Gordon below is a Spellbound insert.  And what does that "R" help spell out when other Spellbound cards are combined with it?  NASCAR.
