Kerry's Cardboard:2000 Collectors Edge Masters Holo Silver /1000

It's that time again, time for a new Kerry's Cardboard.

My latest Kerry add came from a buddy of mine on Twitter who saw it for sale and wondered if I needed it. I did.
I always know how hard 90's inserts hit, but I always forget about how great the early 2000's were as well. This card I used to capture with my lightbox because there was no other way to show this one off.

 
Back of the card. Here is the numbering for it.

Great looking card.

Thoughts on my latest Kerry add is welcomed in comments along with your favorite insert from the early 2000s.

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!

More To The 2022 Prizm Eli Manning Run

 Hello again!

Time for a new post on Big Blue Cardboard.

Nothing speaks more Big Blue to me then Captain and Future Hall Of Famer Eli Manning who is a big center in my Giants collection. Well, besides Rodney.

Once again, I am still chasing the 2022 Eli's, especially the shiny ones as I chase 1,000 Eli's.

The next two are my latest adds to my Prizm chase.

Red Wave which I acquired from a trade on Twitter

 
Pandora /499

These two go along with these guys I have already picked up,

Purple Parallel

Green Parallel

Disco Parallel

Red, White, Blue parallel. This is team color match, love it!

Silver Prizm

 
Light Blue Prizm (another favorite team color parallel)

Once again, I don't plan on chasing the full rainbow as that is too costly for my low budget. But, what I do have and have added is for fun.

RAK ATTACK!

I know a lot of collectors are very turned off by Twitter sometimes, but for me, that's the beef of my hobby. That's the place I spend my hobby time on. Yes, there is bad on there, but what isn't seen a lot of the time is a lot of the good.

Recently, I was messaged on Twitter by @dabtendo91 who showed me a picture of an autographed Andre Woodson card I didn't have and asked me if I wanted it. Of course I did! All NY Giants cards are welcomed and very appreciated here.

It's also a great looking card.
 

And is numbered 1/5!

By far my best Woodson card in that PC.

Thanks again to Caleb for the Random Act Of Kindness.

If you are wondering who Andre Woodson is, he was the NY Giants 6th round pick of the 2008 draft to help back up Eli. He never got a chance to play because Eli never gave anyone else a chance to. Woodson made it a couple of years in the NFL before hanging up his cleats.

Thoughts on my latest addition is welcomed in comments!

More Eli's Arrived

As I am slowly creeping towards 1,000 different Eli Mannings, I am trying to show them off when I can.

A lot of my focus with Eli recently has been working on adding cards from 2022. 

Why? Because it's easier to add those to TCDB since I wouldn't have to search the entire site looking for other years. It's always the last few pages.

So, my first adds were shiny ones from 2022 Mosaic.
Green

Disco

Silver

Orange

And one card I thought I had, but didn't, was this insert from 2022 Prestige.
 
This is the Living Legends insert. He was both that on and now off the field. If someone doesn't know who Eli is, I would be surprised. He is everywhere.

Thoughts on my latest Eli adds welcomed in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:1997 Score Premiere Club (Team Set)

Honestly, I have no idea where to file this Rodney Hampton under when I looked it up on my spreadsheet. The only thing that matches up is the NY Giants team set cards so that's where it went.

This card comes via my buddy Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday fame.


I may not have much if any info on this card, but what I am showing off is spectacular. This card is even better in person I promise you that.

If you have any information on these, let me know in comments. Otherwise, I welcome comments in general on this card. They sure don't make them like they used to.

Also, thanks again to Shane on this trade and for helping me cross another off my want list.
