Random Cardboard: 2025 Topps Chrome MLS Class Of Their Own Miles Robinson

He's Back To Blogging!

 Hey!

Just wanted to throw out there that my good friend Wes has put up a new post and his first one in many, many years.

Let's all give him a warm welcome back.

Go his blog a read and tell him hello!

Rodney's Cardboard:1990 Topps Gum Stain

 It's another football Sunday!

Time to bring on the cheer!

This Sunday is technically not a "new" Rodney as I have about 100 of these rookie cards, but, it's a parallel of such.

My friend @90sNicheFBCard showed me a Rodney Hampton he had pulled from a pack earlier this summer and said he was sending it my way.

  

The front is the typical Rodney front. He's happy that I keep collecting him. When someone like me collects him, it makes sure he has a job in signing cards.

 

The back is what's new about this card. It's got the gum stain from the 1990 Topps pack where the gum was stuck to the back of the card. It's as authentically of a card you can get from the gum years of trading cards.

Like I said, technically not a real parallel or a new one, but I am counting this as separate and unique to my PC.

Do any of you collect cards like this in your collection?

A couple more new Rodneys' to show off soon.

Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Absolute Autograph /199

Wow...it's sure been awhile since I have had a new Rodney to share with you guys.

It's just the flow of the hobby and the expensive prices that Rodney is going for now.

Even today's add was more than it should be, but it's also the reason why I waited so long to add it.

I have already added cheaper, lower  numbered stuff from this run before I added the base autograph. Which is sad but a reality for a Super Collector. You want them all, but you also know your limits.

I did add a few cheap Rodney's recently, so I will have others to post as well. One I traded for, that ones pretty cool and can't wait to share that one.

Not sure how many I have left in the Absolute run until I can double check. I might be down to just the 1/1. But, my spreadsheets are being a pain right now to update, just need to work on that so I can.

Rodney's Cardboard:2026 Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson Battle Arena Hot Rod (more)

Well, I have a long ways to go with these, but didn't want to give up quite yet. 

They aren't the most exciting Rodney Hampton cards ever, some look cool with the shine, but definitely not at the top of my big time want list for Rodney.

But, since my last update on here with them, I found a three card lot for under $2 so I snagged it. Would have been foolish not to have.

So here are all four together. The bottom right corner is my favorite one so far.

Still 100 more to go if I decide to go that route. Not sure if I will but at least for now this keeps the new Rodney's coming in and adding to my overall list.

If you pull any of these that I don't have, just let me know at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com!

Thanks in advance, Matt.

Q+A With Idonta Collect Hockey-Cards

Here is Why You Should Collect Upper Deck Hockey Cards.

Last week we sat down with Russian card collector, Idonta Collect Hockey-Cards for an exclusive interview.

US: Idonta, first off, thank you for sitting down with us today.
Idonta: No problem. I like to talk.
US: So it's been said you are a die hard card collector. What do you collect?
Idonta: Football cards
US: Any specifics?
Idonta:  All?
US: Any specific company?
Idonta: Upper Deck. They are the only ones who make me feel part of game. Real action photography, limited cards and tons of value. I didn't care whether it's NFL or NCAA I bought.
US: So it must be rough now that Upper Deck doesn't make the NFL or NCAA cards.
Idonta: That is an understatment.
US: So what have you been collecting since?
Idonta: I have been buying sandwich cards
US: Excuse us?
Idonta:You know. Sandwich cards. The Panini
US: Oh. How are those?
Idonta: Just like the sandwich, they leave bad taste in my mouth
US: Sorry to hear that. 
Idonta: I sorry to say that. Bad world card collecting turning to.
US: Agree.
Idonta:  I also tried to spin the Topp once. They cards so thin I think they use recycled TP. Design similar to some on TP I wipe with.
US: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Idonta:I been sad since no Upper Deck at all. I try buy older Upper Deck cards but it not the same since I own most. I want new stuff. I wished they hadn't left the market.
US: Well you realize that's why we are here. To help Upper Deck re-gain what should be theirs.
Idonta:  Yes.
US: And what do you mean by them not being on the market anymore? You do realize they still make cards don't you?
Idonta:They do?
US: Yes. They do some golf...
Idonta:(laughs). Clubs and balls? I like hard hitting between people. Not between a club and ball.
US: And Hockey cards.
Idonta: They make hockey?
US: You didn't know?
Idonta: No. Hockey is my second favorite sport. Not sure about collecting hockey cards however.
US: Have you ever seen their hockey cards? If you like their football cards, we assure you, you will LOVE their hockey cards.
Idonta: No. Never seen them.

We wanted to make sure that Idonta got a good look and showed him these images which he was very excited about:

 

 

Idonta: Holy mother of cows! I would take these an my main encore over sandwich any day.
US: We told you. Upper Deck may not be putting out any football cards anymore, but they are still sticking to their roots and making us, COLLECT THE BEST. 
Idonta:I might have to try some hockey cards.
US: Bet you are glad to have sat down with us today now aren't you?
Idonta:Yes. Very much so. Now I want hockey cards.
US: Don't let us hold you back. Get out there and buy! Make sure to tell others as well.
Idonta: I vill!

Oddly enough after our interview last week, Idonta changed his name to Igonna. Not saying we had anything to do with that, but........

Rodney's Cardboard:2026 Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson Battle Arena Hot Rod

Out of all of the Rodney Hampton chases I have done, this may be the most insane one yet and the most confusing one.

I recently discovered that in the new Bo Jackson Battle Arena card set that Rodney Hampton was included as one of the "characters" in the game as someone named Hot Rod.

At first glance, you see the Rodney part. The #27 showing, the red, white and Giants blue. The undeniable name of Hot Rod with Rod standing for Rodney. These are a little odd, but a little fun as well and as a Super Collector, well these need to be chased.

What I didn't know was that there are over 100 of these. Upon first research I did, there was only 4. Then I dug deeper into the checklist on Bo's website and realized there is an insane amount of parallels to the four sections.

So far, I have the one I posted above which i haven't quite figured out which card it is yet. Once I get these figured out more, maybe I will chase more. I need to do more research and also see if the numbers match up right. This will be a long drawn out process.

Here is the checklist on the website,

I have added these to my overall Hampton checklist. These just make my chase of all total Rodney Hamptons even more challenging. But, I guess that's what makes being a super collector fun. Now I just need to fight off the rest of the Rodney chasers as well.

Have you ever checked out these cards, played the game or tried to chase your favorite player? Let me know in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Prizm Black Profile Signatures

Before I went on vacation, I decided to type up the last two drafts I had on this blog which both were Rodney's Cardboard posts and both are also Prizm Black autograph cards.

Next week is a much cooler one.

This week is a basic designed autograph card. A typical design for Prizm. But, I like it. It focuses on Rodney and Rodney alone.

I was excited to originally find out that Rodney was in Prizm since it was his very first appearance in the product.

Let me know your thoughts on the design for this one.

Have a great Sunday!
