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!

Eric Dickerson Card Lot

 I picked up a lot of Eric Dickerson cards off eBay.  Only 15 cards but still fun.  I love this classic look for Dickerson in that great Rams uni.  We also see him staring us down as he heads up field.

Another good look of his more straight up and down running style and a nice look at his SMU college uni.

Eric Dickerson is 5th all-time in rushing yards for Indy while Addai is 9th.  Dickerson was involved in three-team "Trick or Trade" that happened on October 31, 1987 sending him to the Colts.  Lots of first rounds picks and players going between Los Angeles, Buffalo and the Colts.  I didn't remember that Buffalo received the rights to Cornelius Bennett as their part of the trade.

I've always liked that 1989 Pro Set card.  He may well have fallen after that, but it looks like he just avoided what looks to be Chargers defenders.  I like the colors on that 2002 Fleer Throwbacks card.  Nice and bright.

Dickerson was taken 2nd in the 1983 draft behind John Elway.  There were four other Hall of Famers in the 1st round of that draft besides those two.

I would have liked to see his blue SMU jersey here but still a nice looking 2005 Topps All-American card.

Nice looking contenders card but I never liked them going with black and white photos for retired legends.  That second card is a 2014 SPx card.  Not familiar with the set but a nice-looking card.

Jackson and Dickerson are #1 and #2 all-time in Rams rushing.  Never cared for the colors on the Stephen Jackson era Rams unis but this is a good-looking card as they almost matched each other.

Love the Upper Deck cards.  Dickerson's lone season with the Raiders wasn't a great one and he would play only one more season, with Atlanta, after his time with the team.  These cards are fun and while there are a few duplicates of what I already have, I hadn't really built up my Dickerson collection, so this helps do that.
