Rodney's Cardboard:Hero Deck Giants Version

I have been watching an entire deck of Hero Deck NY Giants cards (caricature playing cards) for two years in my watchlist. I just couldn't justify pulling the trigger on spending $15 getting it just for one card want. Not that having an entire team set would be a bad thing.

Instead, I waited patiently and finally, single cards started to be added and guess who showed up, you got it, Rodney.

I already previously added the Georgia Bulldogs version so adding the Giants one was needed.

Rodney is the 6 of hearts in the deck and it features a tidbit on him along with his caricature drawing.

The back features a NY Giants helmet backing.

It's a unique oddball add for only a couple bucks.

Thoughts on these types of cards welcomed in comments today. Let me know if you chase these for your collections as well.

Rodney's Cardboard:2021 Panini XR Summit Patch /5

2021 was probably the most Hampton cards I have to chase in sometime. Especially since Painin figured out that they can make him wear a player-worn jersey.

There are 7 relics alone in Panini XR for me to chase with two being 1/1's.

My recent add from the set is the lowest numbered one I own so far, the Green /5.

The card is green in the background and features my first ever Patch swatch of Rodney.

 

Back of the card features some actual writing and not just a guarantee which is what I am always up for.

Thanks to my buddy Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday fame for the help with this one.

All that remains to be chased now for me is both of the 1/1's. One of which is listed on eBay but at an outrageous price. So far it has dropped from $500 to $150 but I think $60 to $100 range is more fair.

Thoughts on this latest add welcomed in comments.

Rodney's Cardboard:1992 Starting Lineup

A couple of weeks ago I posted a 1994 Starting Lineup of Rodney and mentioned having another, well that is today. 

With today's addition, I will have two of the three Starting Lineups for Rodney with just the 1991 edition remaining. Today's addition comes via my buddy Wes who sent this bad boy and the other one over for Christmas this past year.

The 1992 Starting Lineup features a figure, card and a poster.

The back is loaded full of stars such as Steve Young, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders.

Thanks again to Wes for the Starting Lineup.

I will have to make sure to land the 1991 now to have all of them.

And before you ask, no, I am not opening them up. My OCD would go off the wall so it's going to stay sealed.

Thoughts on today's Rodney is welcomed in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:2021 Illusions Trophy Collection Rainbow Thus Far

I thought I would recap my chase so far for the 2021 Illusions Trophy Collection Rodney Hampton chase.

And yes, Rodney's Cardboard has returned to this blog. It feels right here and not anywhere else.

Here are the cards in this chase so far,

Here are the /25, /10, /5 and the 1/1.

Once again, I am only missing the /35 which is on eBay but overpriced at $70. However, it would finish up this rainbow. But, still, overpriced and has been for months. The seller has never once put the price down.

Thoughts on this chase and if you would buy the /35 just to finish up the rainbow if you were in my shoes?
