Random Cardboard Of The Day:2024-25 UCL Topps NOW Linkin Park

As a long time fan of this group, once I found out they had a card, I had to have it.

 

Linkin Park got me through some really rough times back when they first came out. Their music got me through the day and let me scream out in frustration.

The group of course is no longer the same since the passing of Chester Bennington, but I still listen to my old CD's of them when a day is rough and it brings me back good memories.

In The End is a very memorable song for me not only did the lyrics hit for me at the time, but it also makes me think back to my nephew and how I would make him laugh because I knew the lyrics.

What is your favorite Linkin Park song?

Random Cardboard Of The Day:2021 Goodwin Champions Platinum Blue Parallel Mikaela Shiffrin

I have been trying to grow my Mikaela Shiffrin PC more and more recently and climb the ranks of TCDB. 

I should move up some levels once I add in my newest ones. 

I won't be top dog yet though, I think TCDB still takes in the dupe counts when they have their numbers and since I don't have or keep dupes, these are all singles for me which also drives my numbers down.

 

This newest add is her rookie card Platinum Blue parallel. 

Having blue as my favorite color and feeling like this one matches the overall look of the card with her photo.

Random Cardboard Of The Day:1994 Stadium Club Ring Leader Ronnie Lott

First off, let's take note how odd it is to see him in anything but a 49ers Uniform.

Second, I have been wanting to add one of these inserts for a long time and finally did.

Glad I did.

Now this may become a new set chase.

14-Year Blogversary

14 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, but here I am still chugging away with new posts.

I didn't do a lot of posts in Year 13 on this blog and as I always say I am done on here, but, let's be honest, I can't ever just fully leave this blog can I? It's my foundation.

Though my main focus is still on Cards Over Coffee, I am still here checking on this blog daily. Maybe I will string together some posts this summer at some point even if they are just Random Card Posts and expand upon those posts and discuss the card. Maybe if there is time.

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 Thirteen, Sport Card Collectors grew to 4,144,097 overall views. 14.8K Twitter Followers, 1613 Facebook Likes,  Blusky has 319 followers and 1088 Instagram Followers 

Despite lack of posts, the views are still staying strong on here now that I have passed the 4 million level. I really am hoping to pass the 5 million threshold by the time next years post comes. Wonder if some actual posts will help boost this number?

Guess we may see.....

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