2009 Score Football Pack Break

Here we are with another break from my birthday packs from Oren!

Today, we take a break back to 2009 with a pack of Score football.

I took today's pictures in the order I pulled the cards, enjoy,

 

(rookie and a glossy parallel)

Well, there you have it. Nothing too big pulled, but a trip back in time instead.

One more break to come! I think I will post it tomorrow before finishing up my trade/eBay blaster box pickup.

1993 American Bandstand Pack Break

 

If you read Cards Over Coffee, you would have seen that I got a great Christmas gift from blog reader Oren and that he sent along some packs for me to rip open.

And if you don't read or follow Cards Over Coffee yet, what's wrong with you?!

Anyways, today's pack is one of those packs we are ripping open to check out.

I'm gonna be honest that I don't know a lot about this product or the singers within. I was just hoping to land one of the gold foil autogaphs.

But, I didn't.

Here is what I did find though,

 

The last two were the ones I knew from this group. Chubby Checker used to be one of my grandmother's favorites. I always heard her toss his name around.

I will be showing off a couple more pack results from this birthday break.

Have a great Tuesday!

2024 Absolute Football Blaster Box Break (Daniels!)

Here is the next box break in my eBay gift card/Shane trade break. There will be three of these overall. My last one was a blaster box of 2024 Donruss football that I pulled a Jayden Daniels base rookie card in if you remember.

For this break, I once again stuck to football for this one. Football is my main sport to collect and my favorite sport overall. It only makes sense when I get the opportunity to open anything that I stick with the sport I know the best.

So, let's get to rippin'

I have been a fan of Absolute brand name since the 90's, but when it comes to the retail version of it now-a-days, it's kind of lame. But it was cheap, so I took the gamble.

And here were the highlights,

Kicking it off with a Bo Nix rookie. He impressed many in his rookie season and had some nice throws in the playoffs for the Broncos who are on the up and up.

Penix played well and beat my Giants. That was all I needed to see of him. I kind of see why the Falcons shocked everyone last year in the draft by grabbing him so early.

A couple green parallels, nothing too special.

Star Gazing Ray Davis. I don't think this is a tough pulled insert, I miss the days where the odds were listed on the packages on how hard some inserts are to pull.

Draft Diamonds Jordan Love.

 

Rock Out DJ Moore

Rock Out Jayden Daniels! Nice!!

By Storm....Jayden Daniels!! We all know he took everyone by storm! Really wished he was a Giant.

Not a bad risk on grabbing this box. With the two Daniels, it made the box.

There is one more break to go from the three I grabbed. 

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.
