Yak Series 2 cards drop November 10 with Kamario Taylor

TLDR: The Yak's Series 2 trading cards go on sale Tuesday, November 10, and the crew has put signed Kamario Taylor cards in the mix just to needle Mississippi State diehard Brandon Walker.

The promo push for Series 2 kicked off with a bit, and the bit came straight at Brandon. Nick pulled out a signed Kamario Taylor card on the show and waved it in his face.

Nick trolls Brandon with a signed Kamario Taylor card Yak Series 2 cards out November 10th!

To get why that's cruel you need the backstory. Taylor was Mississippi State's breakout star this fall. He threw for 1,460 yards and an SEC-high 17 touchdowns in 6 games and had the Bulldogs inside the top 25. Then he hurt his toe. He tried to play through it against Alabama and sat out the LSU loss, and on October 27 the school confirmed he needs surgery and is done for the season. That left State at 4-3 with 4 SEC games to go and a bowl trip far from certain.

Brandon took it about how you'd expect. On the Yak on October 27, the same day the news broke, he brought up the injury on air like a man still processing it.

“It's weird because my quarterback has a toe injury” – Brandon Walker

So naturally the Yak's answer to a Mississippi State fan grieving his quarterback was to turn that quarterback into a collectible. TJ said the Kamarios came from a donor and apologized to Brandon in the same breath. He didn't sound very sorry.

HUGE pull on the @BarstoolYak cards

Kate: HUGE pull on the @BarstoolYak cards

Series 1 covered the show's 2021 to 2023 run, and those cards still trade as singles and lots on eBay, so there's clearly a market for Yak cardboard. The Series 2 set goes back to the moments and quotes since then, plus at least 1 chase card built entirely around Brandon's pain. Tuesday is the drop. Somebody is going to rip a signed Kamario, and the best thing they can do with it is send Brandon a picture.
