Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Absolute Autograph /199

Wow...it's sure been awhile since I have had a new Rodney to share with you guys.

It's just the flow of the hobby and the expensive prices that Rodney is going for now.

Even today's add was more than it should be, but it's also the reason why I waited so long to add it.
I have already added cheaper, lower  numbered stuff from this run before I added the base autograph. Which is sad but a reality for a Super Collector. You want them all, but you also know your limits.

I did add a few cheap Rodney's recently, so I will have others to post as well. One I traded for, that ones pretty cool and can't wait to share that one.

Not sure how many I have left in the Absolute run until I can double check. I might be down to just the 1/1. But, my spreadsheets are being a pain right now to update, just need to work on that so I can.

Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Prizm Black Profile Signatures

Before I went on vacation, I decided to type up the last two drafts I had on this blog which both were Rodney's Cardboard posts and both are also Prizm Black autograph cards.

Next week is a much cooler one.

This week is a basic designed autograph card. A typical design for Prizm. But, I like it. It focuses on Rodney and Rodney alone.

I was excited to originally find out that Rodney was in Prizm since it was his very first appearance in the product.

Let me know your thoughts on the design for this one.

Have a great Sunday!

Thanks for coming by today to check out the latest Rodney's Cardboard. Also, if you haven't noticed, I have been publishing old Rodney's Cardbards on here as well to re-establish my chase on the blog. I think those posts will be beneficial to have set free again. So every day until I get them all published, expect four to be published.

Thanks and thanks for your patience as I clean up this blog.

Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Panini Silhouette Autograph Relic Holofoil /75

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there!

It's time for the first NEW Rodney's Cardboard in a long time.

I haven't picked up a lot of new Rodneys from all of the new products, but I have picked up some. The prices for Rodney Hampton have been crazier than what I want to give up for it so this Super Collector of him has backed off from doing so.....sadly.

But I got today's for a good price so I landed it.

This was from one of Panini's new products, Silhouette. I am a little disappointed with the design as I felt if they dug back into the old silhouette design and brought it back that would have worked better.

This one is just meh. Not bad, not great.
 
The card back is just the usual lame Panini design for these. I miss the days where card backs mattered as much as the fronts.

Let me know your thoughts on the design of this card and what your plans are for Father's Day whether that be as a dad or for your dad.

Have a great Sunday!

Rodney's Cardboard:2025 Panini Silhouette Autograph Relic

And... Rodney is back!

Well...for now.

I only have roughly four new Rodney's to show off for now as I haven't been adding any. With the rising costs of everything including cards, people are charging an arm, leg and kidney for Rodney cards now, so I am just sitting back and watching them marinate.

There are many I want, but I refuse to pay the prices...and I can't afford them anyways.

So, until then, I will post the four I have and hope others fall into my lap at some point.

Today's Rodney is another one from a new Panini product as they were just releasing stuff left and right before their NFL license ended.

The card itself is kind of bland. I was hoping when it said Silhouette that it was going to look like the Crown Royale autographed silhouette cards that they made.

I should have known better.

 

 
The backside is the usual boring blank Panini thing with the guarantee of a random fan jersey swatch from no specific game, time, date, place or maybe not even a Giants one but at least the autograph is real. 

I don't know a lot about this product as I don't spend a lot of time researching the newer ones, but I assume autograph cards fall a couple per box so not too hard of a find. There are though tons of parallels of this card as expected.

I will need to update my Rodney Hampton checklist at some point with these newer cards.

I hope all of you have a Super Sunday.

End Of The Year 2025

I am not sure when or if I will post on here again, so I wanted to thank all of you who came out to read Sport Card Collectors the past 13-years. 

This blog isn't what it once used to be as my focus has now been mainly on Cards Over Coffee and Big Blue Cardboard. Once sponsors were lost, this blog kind of dropped off as the product reviews and giveaways ended nobody wanted to read it anymore.

So, I took to those other two blogs to simply share my passion for the hobby and have it be just about collecting and my collecting.

With that being said though, thanks to Panini America, Topps, Upper Deck, BCW Supplies, and many others for their support over the years and helping grow this blog, my hobby friends, and my hobby connections.

Some other info that you need to know before this post closes up :)

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Chrome Frozenfractor

Winter is right around the corner for some, for me, it's already arrived as we have had snow on and off since the end of October.

Nothing has fully collected on the ground yet, but, we that live here know what's to come.

So, what better card to show off on this Rodney's Cardboard Sunday than a Frozenfractor.

 
It's got a chill to the card with the serial numbering as -2/0.

This doesn't mean that this is numbered to 0 or -2, it's just part of the look.

I believe these chilly cards are SSP's rumored to be numbered to 5 overall.

Speaking of a chill in the air, let's not even talk about today's Giants game. They can't catch a break or a cold.

But, enough about them. The dreadful season is almost over and that's not going to give me frigid feelings over it.

Hope everyone had a great Sunday. Sorry about the late night Rodney but better than never!

Next Sunday the plan is to have Rodney posted sooner, but we will see how my time goes this week.

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!

We Got One!!

Somehow or another, the football Gods came to save the NY Giants season as they pulled off the upset over the 3-0 LA Chargers with a 21-18 win.

And most of that was because of rookie Quarterback Jaxson Dart who all Giants fans like myself hope will be THE GUY in New York finally after we suffered through so much quarterback pain since Eli Manning retired.

Anyways, here are a few of my most recent Dart additions. I don't have anywhere near what most would consider an "epic" Dart collection, but I have a few solid cards.

 




Dart finished the day throwing for 111 yards and a touchdown along with rushing for 54 yards and another touchdown. The most important stat was the win.

Next week the Giants take on the New Orleans Saints on the road. Hopefully Sunday's win will be a turn of the season.

Rodney's Cardboard: 2024 Finest Autograph Refractor

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

  
It's Sunday, which means another NEW Rodney's Cardboard!

I haven't done one of these in a few months and it's now football season, so I figured it was time.

Today, we will begin a run of different Topps Finest autograph cards I have in this chase over the next few weeks.

Rodney has 13 different autograph cards in the set and so far, I have roughly half of them.  Today's was one of the easier ones to acquire for the parallel end. The base refractor autographs are not numbered so are probably more plentiful though I still don't see a lot of them hanging around.

Hope everyone has a great start to their teams football season!
