Post #200: New Eli Mannings Added and Updated

I haven't had a lot of time for cards recently with life taking over, but I finally sat down and did a project I have been needing to get done.

I have finally updated my Eli Manning Trading Card Database count to celebrate the 200th post on this blog.

So, currently I have.....sorry you will have to check out the photos of my latest pickups first before I announce where I stand in the chase of Eli....

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

(a 1/1 plate I traded for on Twitter)

 

(TCDB doesn't list these anywhere so it doesn't count as apart of my number)

And the total I am at is...drumroll....1,171!

This puts me 323 away from taking the overall lead on TCDB. This goal was once close to 800 away. The last two years I have chipped away, closing the gap. I am also not sure if the top guy has been active on TCDB anymore. He may have even more that he hasn't added yet, but I guess that doesn't matter to me. I want that lead!

Eli always had a fourth quarter comeback in him, it's my turn now.

I just want to take a minute out to thank everyone who has read this blog. Without you, today's milestone wouldn't have happened. Thank you!

Eli Countdown To 1.5K: 1000,1001,1002,1003,1004,1005

After hitting the 1K mark, I kept the incoming Eli's rolling as I try to chase down 1.5K.

One of the easiest ways to build the collection bigger is by adding cheap parallels,

 

 

(this one continues my rainbow chase)

Some of these are from trades, can't remember who and a couple I snagged myself with the remaining of another eBay gift card.

My next post on here will include have my very first Eli Manning 1/1 card so stay tuned!

Rodney's Cardboard:2021 Panini XR Summitt Patch 1/1

Welcome back!

This is the final Rodney's Cardboard for now as I have no new incoming Rodney's. Finding a new Hampton is getting impossible, so maybe it's time I break out to other things and not just cards. I am still missing one Starting Lineup.

Today's Rodney is probably one of my favorites in my collection. A couple of years ago, Panini decided to include the first ever Rodney relic cards. Up until then, he didn't have a single one.

And now he has his first ever Patch Card along with his first ever Laundry Tag (still need).

But, here is that said Patch Card that is also a 1/1

This is another one of those Wes snags for me for a Christmas gift last year. It's a beautiful card, just wished it was game worn.

Thanks again to Wes!

Rodney's Cardboard:2020 Mosaic Black Autograph 1/1

Welcome back to the latest Rodney's Cardboard!

I have been hoarding these posts and Rodney's on three different blogs for months now and it's finally time they get to see the light of day....or blog.

Today's is a follow up from the last post of Mosaic and once again comes from the legendary Wes from JBF fame.

This is the only copy of this card in the world and I have it.

 

See, told you so!

This narrows my 2020 Mosaic needs down to one more, which is also a 1/1. If any of you have or spy the 1/1 No Huddle Black parallel of Rodney, let me know in comments or by email at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.
