THIS IS THE FINAL VOTES from the nominees AS OPPOSED TO THE LAST TIME I POSTED WHERE IT WAS for the nomination.

My other blog Cards Over Coffee is also nominated for two spots, if interested, please vote on it. This time I caved and voted for myself. I figured one vote won't make a difference. But you can!

If not, please vote on your favorites. Bloggers spend so much time and effort doing what they do and are the backbone to the hobby whether the big companies want to see it or not, it would be great to give them even a little recognition.

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Chrome Frozenfractor

Winter is right around the corner for some, for me, it's already arrived as we have had snow on and off since the end of October.

Nothing has fully collected on the ground yet, but, we that live here know what's to come.

So, what better card to show off on this Rodney's Cardboard Sunday than a Frozenfractor.

 
It's got a chill to the card with the serial numbering as -2/0.

This doesn't mean that this is numbered to 0 or -2, it's just part of the look.

I believe these chilly cards are SSP's rumored to be numbered to 5 overall.

Speaking of a chill in the air, let's not even talk about today's Giants game. They can't catch a break or a cold.

But, enough about them. The dreadful season is almost over and that's not going to give me frigid feelings over it.

Hope everyone had a great Sunday. Sorry about the late night Rodney but better than never!

Next Sunday the plan is to have Rodney posted sooner, but we will see how my time goes this week.

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Inception Magenta /99

  (Previously posted on Big Blue Cardboard. All Rodney's Cardboard posts from here on out will be cross-posted)

 

It's October and we are already one month into the football season.

Crazy!

Today the NY Giants (1-3) travel to New Orleans (0-4) to take on the Saints. Records are always out the door in games like this. It could go either way, I just hope it's my way.

While we all wait for kickoff, let's take a look at a new Rodney.

This is the Magenta parallel, not be confused with the red parallel though looks pretty similar.

I really like the look of Inception this year and have more to chase whenever they pop up. The base Hampton is still like chasing the 1/1 at this juncture. I am surprised that someone out there doesn't have it!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great Sunday. God Bless!

BOT-ember!

 I am a guy of numbers and when I see numbers go crazy like they this past month on here, I tend to question them.

I really haven't had time to post at all on here since May as most of my blogging focus has been on Cards Over Coffee, which is now my main blog.

But, for kicks, I actually started posting on here the last few days to see what kind of traffic would kick up....it actually made them go down.

That's how you know the bots took over.

That and my blogging records that were absolutely destroyed.

 
Last month alone this blog put up 328,190 views which was two times plus the record I had on here. This blog wasn't alone as Cards Over Coffee did the same kind of record numbers, even though I did post a few times on there (ps check them out and go follow!!)

I do appreciate those of you who do come here to read my posts still and maybe some of you go back and read the older posts here still.

I am trying to decide what the future and fate are of all three of my blogs, the other is Big Blue Cardboard, as my college classes ramp up and my life gets busier. I am no where close to retiring, just have to find the time to blog when and where I can and how I can.

Being that this blog is much quicker, you may see more posts on here in the next few months with older segments returning which is what I did in May.

Have a great October everyone!

No! Not him!

No!!!!!!!!

Not him!!!!

Not our best player!!!!!!

Why Metlife???? Why??

Why did you have to damage our best player..........AGAIN??!!

If you haven't heard yet, the NY Giants best player and upcoming NFL stud Malik Nabers was injured during the win over the Chargers on Sunday tearing his ACL because of the terrible turf at Metlife. The same kind of injury that former star wide out Odell Beckham Jr suffered as well.

And many other Giants.

The Giants have to replace that turf. 

They can't keep putting players through this. Especially their young stars like Malik. He was going to have an even bigger role and even more breakout year this year and would have been the weapon that young rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart needed.

Instead, he is out.

So, all I have for now, is memories of what was this season and last season and these recent pickups,






This is a collection I will continue to add to as time goes on.

I hope he comes back fully healthy and ready next season. The Giants will need him. Jaxson Dart will need him.
