Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Inception Red /75

 

Hello football fans! I am back with another NEW Rodney's Cardboard.

Today's Rodney has a funny story attached to it.

I had snagged this particular Rodney a couple of months ago and to my surprise, USPS lost it and it never arrived. So, I had to get a refund from the seller.

Recently, the seller re-listed the card and as soon as I saw it, I snagged it yet again.

It didn't take too long for the seller to realize that I was the one who bought it originally. He told me that it had been returned to him and that USPS messed up and told him that postage wasn't enough. He promised this time the error was fixed and that he was pretty confident I would get it.

And this time he was right, and I did.

With this one in hand, I only have a few more to go for the rainbow. The base (completely hard to find), Blue /10 and the 1/1.

So in comments today, let me know if you have ever had anything like this happen to you. Did the card you want get re-listed or completely lost? Let me know!

Single Card Mail Day:2025 Score Autograph Joe Morris

When 2025 NFL products finally start to hit the market, I try to jump on adding some new Giants cards.

Usually it's the new rookie class with the Giants helmet featured or them in Big Blue uniform.

But, this time, I found a dirt-cheap Joe Morris autograph so that was my very first 2025 add.

 

Joe helped lead the Giants to a Super Bowl XXI win against the Denver Broncos with his short and powerful running.

He also has a really nice signature and I love the old school look to this years product.

I am hoping to add more from Score soon, but I noticed that Elite and Luminance have released as well so expect an onslaught of Giants soon.

Have a great Friday and we are another day closer to football!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Chrome Camo Wave

It's Saturday!

Time for another Rodney's Cardboard!

I still have a few of these in drafts so I should be able to cover up until the regular season kicks off with these posts.

After that, maybe I will need to find a replacement as I haven't been adding any new Rodney's recently.

But there is a new one to show off today.

When I got the checklist for the 2024 Topps Chrome Rodney Hamptons, I saw there was a Camo Wave refractor on it. These were supposedly numbered to 25. Upon getting the card in hand, come to find out, they are not. So, it makes me wonder if these are SSP and that there are only 25 total made. I haven't seen many listed so it could be the case. I just wanted to make sure I had this one secured just in case.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday. More Rodney's Cardboard on the way.

Single Card Mail Day:2025 Panini Instant Rookie Premier Jaxson Dart

 

I know I said I wasn't going to dive too deep into Dart after past experiences with Giants Quarterback chases, looking at you Daniel Jones, but I have to add some just in case and especially the first one featuring him in Giants blue.

I just think a card like this completely pops.

For once, I actually like the thick border, the player stands out and the font looks nice. I hope to add Abdul Carter and Cam Skattebo at some point.

Have you added any cards of your teams' new draftees? Let me know in comments!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Topps Inception Magenta /99

 

It's really crazy to think that we are in July. 

JULY.

Where I am it feels like summer just began but soon football season will be kicking off. We are only a few weeks away from Preseason football already.

CRAZY.

So in the meantime I have been trying to add all of the Giants cards I can and however I can before the new season kicks off. I can't wait to find some of the newest players cards in Giants blue, especially Russell Wilson. I was a fan of his since his Seahawk days.

But, while I wait on that to happen, let's share the latest Rodney add.

This is the Magenta parallel, not be confused with the red parallel though looks pretty similar.

I really like the look of Inception this year and have more to chase whenever they pop up. The base Hampton is still like chasing the 1/1 at this juncture. I am surprised that someone out there doesn't have it!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great Sunday. God Bless!

Single Card Mail Day:2023 Panini Contenders Habakuk Baldonado Autograph

Another mail day, another day.

It's been a while since I have mentioned my NY Giants autograph project, but now it's time.

I still have a long list of autograph cards of NY Giants players I still am seeking; I try to keep the list updated but sometimes life gets in the way.

Stupid life.

Like today's autograph. I never had the chance to add this one to the list but now I have it so no need to.

Habakuk Baldonado went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Giants signed him to a free agent deal but he never made the cut on the team and went to the CFL instead.

Even though he technically never stepped on the field as a Giant, he is still a Giant. Once in blue, always in blue.

Single Card Mail Day:2022 Bowman Chrome University Bowman Invicta Jaxson Dart

News has it that rookie Giants QB Jaxson Dart has played well during offseason workouts so things might finally be looking up for the franchise, but I won't believe it, til I see it.

We just were down this road with Daniel Jones.

But, for now, I will keep adding cards of him on and off just in case. I wouldn't want to miss out on our possible future stud.

This latest is an insert from 2022 Bowman Chrome University. I wished there were 2025 releases out with him in Giants uni, but until then, I have to settle for these. Not too many, but a few.

I already know my bulk wants of his will be when those Giants ones get released.

Let me know what one of your recent mail day adds was in comments!
