2021-2022 NBA Stickers

 21-22 NBA Stickers: Purchased this pack over three years ago and I'll share for the first time today.  Usually found these at Dollar Tree or Target.  I like these Playoffs cards.  This photo is really good too.  So many good players.  Maybe Donovan Mitchell is trying to get a rebound or a get a crazy shot up.

Hawks hot pack with 3X 6th Man of the Year Lou Williams as well as De'Andre Hunter who was traded to the Cavs at the deadline this last season.

Nice caricature card of NBA Champion Luguentz Dort.  He's also a really good defender making the 2024-2025 All-Defensive team and has become an excellent three-point shooter.  Stickers are always fun even if they are bit of an outlier with my collecting.

2022 NFL Stickers (3 Packs)

2022 NFL Stickers: These are always fun even if I don't have a practical use for them. McCaffrey is having a great season for San Francisco.  He's already notched a combined 17 touchdowns on the year.  Also my favorite player in the league.

571 stickers in this set so It's hard to tell who you'll pull but overall no complaints from me.  Who knows what is going on with Justin Tucker but I'm digging it.  As a kid I'd use some of my lunch money to buy a pack on my way to junior high.  Never did fill one those sticker books completely.

My foil inserts.  The foil doesn't do much for me but I'm okay with them at the same time.

Chubb and Watson have been injured this year but somehow the Browns are still in contention for a playoff spot.  These three are the cards that fall one per pack.

Donald is a great way to end this one.  "Only" six sacks so far this year but nobody wants to see this dude opposite them on Sunday.

2018 NFL Stickers

2018 NFL Stickers: These have been hanging around for a bit so why not show them off.  I know Christian McCaffrey is injured again and that really hurts.  I'm a big fan but I have a feeling he might not ever be the guy we once knew.  Still I believe in miracles and hope he can prove me wrong.

Stickers are always fun.  Dollar tree is where I usually find them but haven't seen any from any sport in quite a while.  These are the two foil cards.  In 2018 Bucs fans had no clue what greatness awaited them...

Speaking of the Bucs, defensive lineman Vita Vea has had a solid career and started almost every game he has played for Tampa Bay and scored himself a championship ring in the process. 

The base design on these isn't bad.  Simple but works for stickers.  Usually I don't mind if stickers get a little more adventurous but these work overall. Fun pack of stickers and a decent pull.

Alex Bliss Stickers from Topps UK

 Topps UK WWE: As part of my June order from Topps UK I picked up some individual stickers of Alexa Bliss who is my favorite current wrestler.  She's also perfect to kick off the month of October as she ties in well with Collecting Cutch's Save Second Base campaign.  He does this every October to up breast cancer awareness.  Check out what he does and you can visit the National Breast Cancer Organization to donate or get educated. 

Definitely some cool Topps WWE cards come out of the UK in the form of Slam Attax which couldn't be produced in the US due to copyright issues or so I read somewhere.  This is my first look at some of the stickers and I love that you can purchase individual stickers from the site.

The stickers come from the Raw vs NXT vs SmackDown Live and 2021 - The Road to Wrestlemania sticker collections.  The Last Sticker is a good place to find checklists which aren't as readily available as I'd hoped.  Big fan of both of these stickers.

I also couldn't find photos that easily so I just grabbed some random Bliss stickers.  Good thing I picked up both of these or I'd been irritated.

Alexa is definitely a dynamic force in the WWE right now. Changed up her persona some lately but still fun at heart. Love the photo on this sticker.  Just showing these off and I hope you enjoyed.

2019 NFL Stickers

2019 NFL Sticker:  This is a small pack of fun. This foil Saquon Barkley is the highlight.  I'm not a Giants fan but hoping this guy can come back as the dominant rusher he was prior to his injury.

The design is pretty cool.  They do a good job getting some player info onto the front of the sticker while not being too distracting.  The rest of the design is something I like as well.  The Le'Veon Bell is a card and not a sticker.  A good design and good pull made this fun.

Random Wax: 2019 MLB Stickers

2019 MLB Stickers: This is a nice looking Hank Aaron sticker.  I like the photo and also like seeing a photo of a younger Aaron used for it.

I like the addition of the Home Run Derby stickers.  I really like the base design of the stickers as well.

For this set the backs of the stickers are cards.  The design isn't a favorite of mine but getting a sticker and card is a good.  The Hank Aaron made this pack a win for me.

2018-2019 NBA Stickers (2 Packs)

 2018-2019 NBA Stickers: A couple of packs from some time ago.  Stickers can always be fun even if I don't always know what to do with them.  This Jimmy Butler is a slick looking foil sticker.  Butler really played well in his season and a half with the Timberwolves.  I also like the jersey they wore during that time.

Here we have a drawing sticker and a member of the current Western Conference Champion Phoenix Suns.  I wish the caricature of the player had a different background to set it apart from the base stickers a bit more.  Maybe even something as simple as adding a little color.

I like the design.  Simple but hits the mark.  A little accent behind the players name to break up that white background would have maybe helped a little. 

These are some fun stickers and two PC guys in Butler and Damian Lillard make them even better. Robin Lopez and his brother, and World Champion, Brook Lopez are huge Star Wars fans so they are fringe PC guys for me.

2019-2020 NBA Stickers (2 Packs)

2019-2020 NBA Stickers:  This is appropriate with this guy still bringing it in the NBA Finals.  Chris Paul was a great addition to the Suns who didn't make the playoffs last year.  Paul isn't all warm and fuzzy and I've never been a huge fan but I get why this guy is a Hall of Famer.  He's always been special but what he did for the Oklahoma City Thunder last year and Phoenix this year is nothing short of amazing.  This is one of the cards found one per pack.

Not a bad pull overall but the base set is a meaty 493 stickers so it's long odds pulling specific players.  Loved these stickers and sticker books as a kid and I enjoy opening these up and bringing back some of those memories.

Two of the three foil cards I pulled and these two guys you're always happy pulling. 

With a set this size we get to see coaches as well as logos.  Both of which I'm happy with.

A cartoon sticker as well as a Finals sticker.  I really like the Finals stickers and their game photos. Stickers are always fun.  I don't think I'll ever try to fill a book but I'll still pick these up when I see them.

2020-2021 Topps NHL Stickers (2 Packs)

2020-2021 NHL Stickers:  This was on the shelves this week so I thought why not?  The Stanley Cup Playoffs are into the second round and Boston is doing well.  This Connor McDavid is one of the Topps of the Decade stickers which are part of the massive 666 sticker checklist.  No inserts but there are a few sticker variations.

  
The base design has the flag of the player's home country which is cool.  I like the design on these.  These stickers aren't as flimsy as those done by Panini but I'm not sure it really needed but it is very noticeable. 

This Kyle Palmieri is one of the Topps Hockey Classics you'll find.  The other should look familiar as part of the Stanley Cup puzzle.  It is also a Pillar Foil sticker found one per pack.  

This Pillar Foil mascot of local guy Louie is a nice looking card.  The foil works really well.  These stickers were a fun diversion.

2019-2020 NBA Stickers

2019-2020 NBA Stickers: More of the different stickers I've had laying around for some time.  These packs contain one card and five stickers.  We've seen stickers go this route in recent years.  This is a sticker and a great one to pull.  Lillard is maybe my favorite player in the NBA right now and of course a Trail Blazer.  Just need Portland to make a deep run in the playoffs this year but they still play a little uneven at times.  Fingers crossed.

Some of the variety amongst the stickers include Season Highlights and Caricatures.  Variety always helps and I like both of these.

The Toronto sticker just doesn't look right without the other half of it.  The base design on these is good.  Not great but definitely something I like. The Matisse Thybulle below is not a sticker but a card.  Fun pack and I always enjoy picking up some stickers when I get the chance.

Marvel 80th Anniversary Stickers

Marvel 80th Anniversary Stickers:  We see these at Wal-Mart and I'm sure Target and I picked some up for the grandsons.  They kind of liked them but I need to pick up the sticker books for them to put them in.  That'll interest them more.  I struggled finding a checklist but it looks like there are around 270 stickers.  This Black Panther was a favorite of those I have.  I've always like Black Panther and I like the art.

These are some cool stickers too.  I like the art.  Some classic some more modern.  It looks like the main set is numbered 1-190 which are what I pulled and the rest are inserts I assume.  I can't find anything that tells me one way or another.

Comic covers are fun for the memories and most seem to be classic or first covers for characters and teams.  

Some like this one seem to be part of a larger photo though this one, from the Civil War series, seems to stand on its own.

They seem to do a good job touching on characters from across the Marvel universe.

These are fun.  Probably more for me than my grandsons.  They probably know the majority of the characters but not what's behind the art or most of the classic moments.  I'll pick up the sticker book.  I'm sure that adds to the experience.
