Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Finest Autograph

 

2024 Topps Finest football hasn't been on the market long, but one day when checking in on my Rodney Hampton eBay searches, I saw someone had listed a player break for him and then I had to check for myself.

And guess what, he was there and is in there for autographs.

12 autographs to be exact.

I don't have a lot to this chase yet as my main focus has been chrome, but at a snails pace I know I will get to where I need to be at some point.

Thanks for checking in on another Rodney's Cardboard. Right now, I don't have any more incoming, but when I do, I will be sure to share them!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Chrome Chase

Hey! It's been a while since the last Rodney's Cardboard, so it's time for another!

This one I have been kind of saving up for a while as you will tell by the photo roll below.

2024 Topps Chrome added Rodney Hampton to its base card lineup and with that alone being said, he has a ton of refractors to chase. Such as 36 of them. It's crazy.

Though I have done really well adding them, there is still a way to go!

Here is an updated picture of what I have so far,

 

This is a red wave /5 which is my toughest add so far. This one came thanks to a Twitter RAK!

Not only was Rodney added to Topps Chrome, but he is also found in Topps Chrome Sapphire as well. That's a lot of Rodney! Oh, did I mention he is in 2024 Finest as well with autographs? Yeah, this Rodney Hampton collector is excited but knows the challenges ahead. I just missed out on the 1/1 Topps Chrome Sapphire card. Very sad times and it went cheap.

More Rodney to come including my Finest adds next Sunday. Stay tuned!

Rodney's Cardboard: A 2023 Chasing

It's Sunday which means another NEW Rodney's Cardboard.

Today, I am doing things a little different. I am doing a recap kind of post of my 2023 chases for Rodney and how far I am with each chase (as of this article which was typed up on February 4th so others may have been added by now)

There is still much to go for some, but here is what I have for now.

 

2023 Spectra

2023 Topps Composite Resurgence

2023 Absolute Historic Duals with Ottis Anderson (full rainbow completed)

2023 Topps Composite Amped Up Relic/Auto

2023 Topps Motif Autographs

2023 Topps Motif Base

 

2023 Panini National Treasures Autographs

And that's it for now.

I will keep doing these check-ins for Rodney this year for both my 2023 and 2024 Rodney Hampton chases. Next time focusing on each one of these separately.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday! God Bless.

13-Year Blogversary Post

13 years ago today, I took a dive into the world of blogging.

And even though the landscape of blogging in general has changed and so hasn't mine when it comes to blogging, here I am still chugging away with new posts.

I didn't do a lot of posts in Year 12 of this blog as I technically retired it last year, but just like Brett Favre I just couldn't stay away. I needed to come back for more and will probably stay on for more in Year 14? Will there be more in Year 14 than it was in Year 13? I will have to see how much time I have.

So, as with every passing year on here, let's take a look at the blog numbers from last year and previous years.

Year One, Sport Card Collectors blog had 68,169 overall views. 695 Twitter Followers and 118 Facebook LIKES.

Year Two, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 205,240 overall views, 2,206 Followers on Twitter and 147 Facebook LIKES.

Year Three, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 340,841 overall views, 3,576 Followers on Twitter and 159 Facebook LIKES.

Year Four, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 483,217 overall views, 4,494 Followers on Twitter and 431 Facebook LIKES.

Year Five, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 679,331 overall views. 5,325 Twitter Followers and 541 Facebook LIKES.

Year Six, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 952,540 overall views. 6,272 Twitter Followers and 627 Facebook LIKES.

Year Seven, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 1,268,414 overall views. 7,120 Twitter Followers and 815 Facebook LIKES.

Year Eight, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 1,595,972 overall views. 8,353 Twitter Followers and 1291 Facebook LIKES before I ended the page. 

Year Nine, Matt's Wonderful Blog Of Hobbies grew to 1,814,262 overall views.  9,763 Twitter Followers and 780 Instagram Followers

Year Ten, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,029,117 overall views.  10.9K Twitter Followers, 1427 Facebook LIkes and 1095 Instagram Followers

Year Eleven, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,611,826 overall views.  13.2K Twitter Followers, 1500 Facebook LIkes, 1600 followers, and 1119 Instagram Followers

Year Twelve, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,913,153 overall views.  13.6K Twitter Followers, 1500 Facebook Likes, 1600 followers, Blusky has 291 followers and 1087 Instagram Followers (lost a few)

Not as much growth last year, but that's expected with the lack of posts. However, I am still on the track to hit 3 million views which would make for a really cool milestone.

In comments, let me know if you would like to see more new posts on this blog. This may sound like a silly question, but I am being serious. 

Hope everyone has a great day and once again, thanks for coming by to read.
