Rodney's Cardboard: 2024 Finest Autograph Refractor

  

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

I haven't done one of these in a couple of weeks, 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.  Todays 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 June!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Chrome Sapphire

 

Welcome back to another NEW Rodney's Cardboard!

I know the last few weeks I have bounced around everywhere with my additions, but I am doing that for you. I don't want you to have to stare at the same kind of parallel or new card every week.

This week we are taking a look at what I call the Topps Chrome spinoff in Sapphire. So, not only do I have 30+ Rodney's to chase in base Chrome, I also have Sapphire and it's seven parallels.

CRAZY!

I will admit that the Sapphire does look a lot cooler with the parallels than the base Chrome series after seeing a few pop up. I did however miss out on the 1/1 even though a buddy of mine had his eye on it.

Here's hoping that one pops up again, but in the meantime I will continue to add what I can.

Dart On

Since the Giants drafted Jaxson Dart, I have been trying to chase down what I can.

While trying not to overdo it, because I have learned from many past mistakes from adding too many cards of a Giant player I believed in and one that would stay.

Looking at you Kyle Lauletta, Odell Beckham Jr and Saquon.

I have other Darts already in my collection, but here were the latest ones I was able to add.

 

This one came from a RAK via Twitter.

This is one of my favorite additions, gold refractor /75 that I got in a trade.

 

And this one, I was lucky to have enough left on a couple gift cards on eBay and snagged it cheap. Hopefully it will be a good investment, not like my thirteen Daniel Jones autos.

I will be on the lookout to add more soon, but not over doing it or giving up too much for it.

Happy weekend everyone!

Eli Manning Countdown To 1.5K:#1,146-1,150

I haven't posted an Eli Manning update in a while, but here we go.

I am creeping closer to 1200 different Eli Mannings and with today's additions I am only 50 away from that next milestone.

This also means, I need to update the title of this chase as this post puts me to the limit.

The next Eli Manning post will be the chase to 1200 cards.

So, let's check out the lastest additions.

Base Cosmic Chrome from 2024 Topps Composite.

Cosmic Chrome Refractor from 2024 Topps Composite.

I always love space related cards and this one was perfect. Topps Chrome Cosmic Star Command, and no, not the Buzz Lightyear version.

Phoenix Treasured Tandems base insert. I really want a shiny version of this card now. These two were so dominant together.

More Eli Manning updates to come. I have a few more to share and then we will see where we are at.

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Finest Black Refractor Autograph /25

 

It's Sunday and it's time for a new Rodney's Cardboard.

This is actually one of my newest Rodney adds in the mail.

I have about five of the refractor autographs I need from the 2024 Finest set for Rodney. This is the second lowest numbered one I have in the run, I also have a red /5.

I actually like this one more than the red because I think the blue against the black background looks solid. More than the red does.

There are still 6 more to go in the run also including another black one which is still /25 but has like a square type of shape background.

Right now, as I type this, there are no more needs listed so hopefully some will pop up soon. I missed out on the /10 oil spill parallel which stinks, but there are still nine others that may pop up. It's when you miss a 1/1 that is the real kick.

Come back next week for another NEW Rodney's Cardboard! Have a great Sunday!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Inception Purple /125

 

We are back at it again! Another Rodney, another Sunday.

This week we look at the second Rodney I have for 2024 Topps Inception. This one is the purple parallel /125. 

The design is the same and the only big differences in these parallels are the background colors.

Still looks just as cool as the others. I really hope to acquire the blue soon that way I can have the team match parallel. That one is actually listed along with a gold one I need as well.

It will be the 1/1 that won't be the fun part of this chase, or any chase in that matter.

Now That's A Patch!

Adding to my Giants collection has been a bit easier with trading I do on Twitter.

It saves me money...that I already don't have...and helps make friends along the way and even add some unique cards that I haven't seen before.

One of which was the GIANT Jeremy Shockey patch card I got in a recent trade that the patch alone is bigger than a regular sized card.

See what I mean!

This thing is massively cool

I am not usually one for manufactured relics, but this one is superb.

 

Just look at the detail!

This now marks the biggest card in my Giants collection and finding storage or even a protector has been hard. I may have to put it in a ziplock just to have something to protect it from any elements.

How do you guys store these kind of cards?

Single Card Mail Day:2016 Panini Rookies And Stars Freshman Orientation Autograph/Jersey Paul Perkins

 

Paul Perkins wasn't a Giant for very long, roughly 3 years, and played behind three other running backs when he first got into the league before being named the starter later in 2016.

But, he never quite caught on, got hurt so was cut by the G-Men in 2019.

After that he traveled around the league a few times but never made another run at playing full time again.

However, I still collect him and have some pretty decent cards of him. He is also very affordable as this recent pickup was found for $2 and those are the types of NY Giants adds I will take all day long.
