Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Inception Magenta /99

  (Previously posted on Big Blue Cardboard. All Rodney's Cardboard posts from here on out will be cross-posted)

 

It's October and we are already one month into the football season.

Crazy!

Today the NY Giants (1-3) travel to New Orleans (0-4) to take on the Saints. Records are always out the door in games like this. It could go either way, I just hope it's my way.

While we all wait for kickoff, let's take a look at a new Rodney.

This is the Magenta parallel, not be confused with the red parallel though looks pretty similar.

I really like the look of Inception this year and have more to chase whenever they pop up. The base Hampton is still like chasing the 1/1 at this juncture. I am surprised that someone out there doesn't have it!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great Sunday. God Bless!

BOT-ember!

 I am a guy of numbers and when I see numbers go crazy like they this past month on here, I tend to question them.

I really haven't had time to post at all on here since May as most of my blogging focus has been on Cards Over Coffee, which is now my main blog.

But, for kicks, I actually started posting on here the last few days to see what kind of traffic would kick up....it actually made them go down.

That's how you know the bots took over.

That and my blogging records that were absolutely destroyed.

 
Last month alone this blog put up 328,190 views which was two times plus the record I had on here. This blog wasn't alone as Cards Over Coffee did the same kind of record numbers, even though I did post a few times on there (ps check them out and go follow!!)

I do appreciate those of you who do come here to read my posts still and maybe some of you go back and read the older posts here still.

I am trying to decide what the future and fate are of all three of my blogs, the other is Big Blue Cardboard, as my college classes ramp up and my life gets busier. I am no where close to retiring, just have to find the time to blog when and where I can and how I can.

Being that this blog is much quicker, you may see more posts on here in the next few months with older segments returning which is what I did in May.

Have a great October everyone!
