Rodney's Cardboard: Signed Cleat!!

When I told you earlier this week that Blog Reader Oren blew my socks off with his Christmas mailing, I should have said he blew my shoes off first.

As soon as I opened up his box, this incredible piece met me.

The autograph has faded some, but that's okay because it is strongly assumed and believed that this is a game used/worn cleat by Rodney.

Here are a few other looks at the cleat that may be evidence it was actually his.

I had messaged Rodney on Instagram with some pictures hoping he would confirm it, but he hasn't read it or confirmed so. When he does or if he does, I will be sure to let you guys know.

Either way, this is really cool. May be one of my favorite pieces in my Rodney Hampton collection.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE THANKS TO OREN for this incredibly kind gift. I love it.

You know what I also love, Playoff football. Today the Giants take on the Minnesota Vikings. I am not sure if they can win or not, but I am just proud of this team and happy I get to actually watch a playoff game. It has been far too long.

Thoughts on my latest Rodney add is welcomed in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard: 1994 Pro Line Live Printing Plate

It's Sunday and the final week of the NFL regular season. A day I used to dread the past six years knowing the Giants season was coming to an end. But, not this year.

The Giants are on the road in Philadelphia in a pointless game for them and I am hoping they give their starters some rest. Though I would love to beat Philly and make them lose the number 1 seed, but we have a playoff game we need to be healthy for.

I DO HATE PHILLY.

Let's move on from that topic as that could turn into a blog post alone and tackle today's latest Rodney Hampton add which came thanks to a gift from my buddy Wes formerly of JBF blog fame.

He not only sent today's Rodney, but seven others that took a trip with it in my Christmas mail day. 

You read that right, SEVEN.

 

Out of those seven, four of those were printing plates or as they called them in the 90's, Press Plates.

This one is from 1994 Pro Line Live, a one-year product.

Thoughts on my latest Rodney Hampton add welcomed in comments and a thanks to Wes again for the add.

Good luck to your NFL Teams and I hope the Giants can pull off the upset with backups.

Have a great Sunday!
