Follow For Your Chance To Win!

It's been a long time since I have hosted a giveaway and thanks to my friends at BCW Supplies, I can!!

The contest hasn't started yet, but it will be in time for the holidays.

Here is what will be given away. These storage totes are great, I have one for my Rodney Hampton PC. Very durable!!

This contest lot comes with Trading Card Dividers as well!

But, before I make the official contest post,

I would love to build my following on Cards Over Coffee. I currently sit at 59 followers, lost one this morning for some reason. I want to see that number get to 75!

If we can get 16 more followers, I will post the giveaway quicker and it will be an easy one as well for entry in the official contest. I think either way I may require a Cards Over Coffee follow to be entered.

Follow CARDS OVER COFFEE HERE!!!

So, let's do this and get this contest going!

Don't forget to thank BCW as well!

Kerry's Cardboard:1996 Presidents Reserve Air Force One

It's another football packed Sunday and even though my Giants have played like a 1-star high school team, I am still on board and still rooting for them to win. 

I am not a fan of a team tanking for a number one draft pick. I am all about the winning, though I do want a new Quarterback next year. Sorry Daniel Jones, it's time.

If only Kerry Collins was still ready to play, he could have filled in for Jones this season and maybe things would be different. But, that boat has sailed.

At least I still can still add some Kerry's Cardboard.

Randomly inserted in packs at a rate of one in 16, my latest add is from the all-acetate product Presidents Reserve which was a one-year and done product by Collectors Edge. 

This 38-card set featured the best of the long ball threats in the league. It's a two-way-view plastic card with some added shine. Each card is individually numbered out of 2,500.

 

As with most 90's cards, once again, this one shines above anything from today.

This was my first Collins add in awhile, may need to put some focus on him again.

Well, Giants, this Collins shined today, hoping you will as well against Washington.

CAPTION THIS CARD!!

 

I like to bring this segment back here and there. The fun of reading the comments and captions being the biggest reason or maybe a lack of thought on what to post for the day. Either way, have fun with these!!

Please CAPTION THIS CARD in comments. Keep it clean for the little eyes. If I was to caption this, I would call it,

Rodney's Cardboard: 1995 Pro Line Classic Game Of The Week Redemptions Rodney Hampton/Cortez Kennedy

It's Rodney's Cardboard and it's back on Sport Card Collectors...well Matt's Wonderful Blog Of Hobbies.

Today's card took me awhile to find and add to my collection as it's getting nearly impossible to find any new Rodney's now-a-days. It appears Panini's run with Rodney is over.

Before I picked up this cheap card, I messaged the seller and double checked that this card was not the foil version as I have that one. The foil version looks the same as this card but has foil with the score if that makes any sense to you.

These interactive cards were randomly inserted into packs of 1995 Pro Line. There were 30 cards in the set and the only way to acquire the card below was to be one of the first 2500 participants who submitted 10-20 different game cards with the actual winner of the game. The winners received the second prize which was a complete set of 30 NFL Pro Line winner cards with the final score of the game foil stamped on the card.

Here is the front of the card. Seattle beat the Giants that day, but in 1995 who didn't beat the Giants who finished 5-11 that season.

 

Back of the card tells you more about the interactive game and how to submit/etc.

I may have to think outside the box to continue Rodney's Cardboard every Sunday and maybe even re-visit some of the cards and maybe rainbows I already posted. 

I think I saw a request once for that. So more Rodney to come!

Trending This Week In My Hobby Week 5

This segment hasn't been posted since August, so a lot has changed since then. In order to continue where I left off, I will post this as Week 5.

To remind you about what this segment is about, since I collect so much, there is always a main focus I have on a weekly basis. Sometimes these focuses go on for weeks and sometimes they are short lived. These posts will help guide you in what I am seeking for weekly. 

Especially for those of you who are currently trading with me.

This was the Top 10 list back in August,

1. 2022 Upper Deck Marvel Allure Parallels, Autographs
2. Non Sport Cards
3. NY Giants (especially 2023 class)
4. 90's Inserts
5. Guardians Of The Galaxy Relic Cards
6. Missing Prizm Rookie Cards
7. Marvel Relic/Autograph Cards
8. Set Completing
9. Eli Manning Cards
10. Kerry Collins Cards

Here are the Top 10 most sought after for me right now in order and if they have risen or fallen since the previous week.
