Rodney's Cardboard:2023 Spectra Neon Blue Autograph /50

 With so many Rodney's released in 2023, I am having to shift gears all over when it comes to posting these.

I am as surprised as you are with all of these new Rodney's.

With Spectra being a $1K per box product, I am not sure how many Rodney's I will be finding from this chase. There is a whopping 13 to chase. THIRTEEN. Many of which are low numbered.

Today, I am kicking it off with one that falls in the middle, sort of.

The Team color matched Neon Blue

is numbered to 50. But, for once, these cards feature a small writeup about the player and doesn't have the usual boring backing.

Here is the overall look at what I am seeking. I do have five of the chase so far in hand and will cross them off as I post them the next few weeks.

Signatures Gold   1

Signatures Nebula   2

Signatures Neon Marble  4

Signatures Psychedelic  5

Signatures Neon Splatter   8

Signatures Neon Orange   10

Signatures Neon Pink   15

Signatures Meta   25

Signatures Neon Green   35

Signatures Neon Blue   50

Signatures Hyper   60

Signatures Celestial 75

Signatures    199

There are four more to post about in this chase that I have.

I have other thoughts on this chase to. First off, who can afford a 1K box and two, can you imagine breaking a box and ending up with a Rodney Hampton as one of your big hits....OUCH. Doesn't seem like the kind of product you add a player like this in.

Now I want your thoughts on that in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:1997 New Pinnacle Black Printing Plate

Today's card is my favorite Printing Plate in my Rodney Hampton collection.

Not because of the front,

 

But, because of the back. It is signed by Jerry Meyer Chairman of Pinnacle. This is the only time that I know of that printing plate was actually fully guaranteed like this. These are also very scarce to hunt down and Rodney makes only the second one in my collection. The other one is a card back of Yatil Green.

I can't imagine how many of these things that Meyer had to sign.

Thanks again to Wes for grabbing this one for me as well.

Comments on whether you own any of these plates welcomed in comments.

Rodney's Cardboard:2023 Panini Absolute Historic Duals Red Ottis Anderson/Rodney Hampton Autograph /75

 Today marks the final run on the 2023 Absolute Historic Duals that I have so far. It's not too many and most of my focus has been on the bigger numbered cards as those fell cheaper.

Other than the 1/1, the /10 and the /25 have popped up once and both left my grasp. Hopefully they will re-appear. I have yet to see the Purple /5.

But, let's take a look at a card I have seen and own today :)

This card is the Red version which is numbered to 75. I guess you can consider this a team color parallel as well.

 

Back of the card is the usual Panini backing.

Here is the overall look at the chase so far. 

Historical Duals Black 1
Historical Duals Purple 5
Historical Duals Gold 10
Historical Duals Green 25
Historical Duals Blue 35
Historical Duals Orange 50
Historical Duals Red 75
Historical Duals 199

As I said above, had to focus on the easier ones first.

Stay tuned for new Rodney posts to come!

Back of the card is the usual Panini backing.

I have one more to show off before I have to move onto the next part of my Rodney showcase!

Rodney's Cardboard:2023 Panini Absolute Historic Duals Ottis Anderson/Rodney Hampton Autograph /35

 Today's Rodney Hampton is probably going to be my favorite of the chase, especially since the 1/1 is gone. It's a blue parallel which is team color match especially with their players jerseys on the card being blue as well.

The blue version is numbered to 35.

 

Back of the card is the usual Panini backing.

Here is the overall look at the chase. The 1/1 had already popped up and I missed it. But at least I can just chase what I can and hopefully someday the 1/1 will come back.

Historical Duals Black 1
Historical Duals Purple 5
Historical Duals Gold 10
Historical Duals Green 25
Historical Duals Blue 35

Historical Duals Red 75
Historical Duals 199

Stay tuned for a couple more of these!

Rodney's Cardboard:2023 Panini Absolute Historic Duals Ottis Anderson/Rodney Hampton Autograph /199

One of the bigger surprises to my Rodney Hampton chase this football card season was not only his inclusion in Absolute, but his inclusion in Absolute with another NY Giants running back legend.

That running back, Ottis Anderson.

The problem with adding Anderson to this card is the prices of these Rodney's have gone haywire because of him. Meaning, these cost more than they should.

But I have landed a few from the chase so far.

I am kicking it off with the base version which is numbered to 199.

 

Back of the card is the usual Panini backing.

Here is the overall look at the chase. The 1/1 had already popped up and I missed it. But, at least I can just chase what I can and hopefully someday the 1/1 will come back.

Historical Duals Black 1
Historical Duals Purple 5
Historical Duals Gold 10
Historical Duals Green 25
Historical Duals Blue 35

Stay tuned as I have more of these to show off!

Rodney's Cardboard:2023 Certified Bronze Autograph /99

Today is the final run on the 2023 Certified Rodney Hamptons. Then I will have to change things up a bit. I have actually plenty to choose from for once.

Today's final one from this chase is a Bronze parallel. These are numbered to 99. You don't see a lot of bronze parallels to autograph cards or that I have seen anyways in my chases.

  

Card back looks the same as the rest in the series. I know you are sick of seeing and reading this part by now.

Here is an overall look at the chase in 2023 Certified for Rodney,
Base /199, Bronze /99, Pink /75, Orange /50, Red /35, Blue /30, Teal /25, Gold /15, Purple /10, Green /5, and Black 1/1.

Here are the cards I have posted so far from this run which is everything except the 1/1.

 

 

  

 

 

Onto other greener grounds for Rodney next week. Hope to see you back!
