Rodney's Cardboard:1992 Starting Lineup

A couple of weeks ago I posted a 1994 Starting Lineup of Rodney and mentioned having another, well that is today. 

With today's addition, I will have two of the three Starting Lineups for Rodney with just the 1991 edition remaining. Today's addition comes via my buddy Wes who sent this bad boy and the other one over for Christmas this past year.

The 1992 Starting Lineup features a figure, card and a poster.

The back is loaded full of stars such as Steve Young, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders.

Thanks again to Wes for the Starting Lineup.

I will have to make sure to land the 1991 now to have all of them.

And before you ask, no, I am not opening them up. My OCD would go off the wall so it's going to stay sealed.

Thoughts on today's Rodney is welcomed in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:1994 Starting Lineup

It's been a while since I have posted any new Rodney Hampton updates, normally I do it on Sunday's, but with this Sunday being Easter and with another post prepared for then, I will just dive in and do one today.

One thing I feel to make yourself a true Super Collector of a player is that you must have more than cards. Yes, cards are great and all but to really establish yourself as the main guy, you must mix in some other stuff. For Rodney, I have an autograph football, autograph mini helmets, autograph jersey, uncut sheets of cards, and oddball cards. But, what I was really lacking was some 8x10's and some figures. 

That ended at Christmas time when my buddy Wes hit me up with two of the three Rodney Hampton Starting Lineups I needed.

Today, we take a look at the 1994 Starting Lineup.

 

His 1994 figure comes with a card and the figure.

 

The back features some studs including Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, and Jerome Bettis to name a few.

Thanks goes out to Wes for helping me add this one to the collection.

Going forward, I expect Rodney's Cardboard to return to its normal Sunday spot until I run out of him to post as I haven't added a lot of new ones recently. It has been more challenging now that there are not many Rodney's remaining and not many new ones out there to chase.

I hope everyone has a GOOD FRIDAY.

This Guy Would Be In My Starting Lineup

The main course of a trade between Shane over at Project Pedro blog and myself usually has some meatworthy Ken Griffey Jr cards and sometimes items. Even though most of the time I avoid adding items since I don't have the space in the mancave anymore since I moved it's location.

But every time Shane pulls a Griffey in his Cheap Wax breaks, I immediately get dibs. Well for most of the cards. I think Shane has a couple he pulled in his breaks I have been trying to pry away for years. Some day they will come to their rightful owner :)

In the meantime, this trade added well over 120 NEW Ken Griffey Jr cards to my collection. Yes, 120.

I won't be showcasing all of the good ones off, there were many, but I did choose some to show off. Why not more you may ask, well, that's because my main project in 2019 will be my Griffey PC. I have been slacking on it for years and it's time I finally give it some love like I did my Rodney Hampton PC. That may take me awhile but it will feel so worth it to me.

So let's take a look at what I am showing off with this one,

Starting lineup that Shane had lying around. I said, why not. Years ago I traded away all of my Griffey figures to make room. I kind of regret it. I still also need to chase down the Rodney Hampton ones so if any of you see them anywhere, please snag both for me!

Such a cool card I hadn't seen up close. Now I own it.

Bat swatch. I wasn't ever a fan of Upper Deck "branding" the swatches though. Kind of ruins it I think.

And finally, an awesome stamp card. I would sometimes rather see one of these cool things than a white relic swatch.

There is still one more part to this mail day I am showing off and that one will be some nice additions to my non sport PC.
