Remember in the 80's and 90's that annoying time of night when you would be watching TV, then fell asleep only to be awaken to a loud beep followed by scratchy noises because the channel was signing off?

Well, Topps said, let's turn that into a card.

And let's make it a case-hit.

 

My latest Eli Manning add has captured those memories all over again.

This tough-to-pull insert series in Topps Resurgence captures retired players and the years they played.

Eli Manning was a lifetime Giant from 2004-2019 and unlike Philip Rivers, he stayed out of the game and should be in next year's Hall Of Fame or the voters are wrong. 

They were already wrong not allowing him in as a first ballot.

Pretty happy with this one and others I have posting soon.

Hope everyone has a great and safe New Years Eve!

Single Card Mail Day:2024 Panini Contenders Rookie Ticket Autograph Darius Muasau

We are back with a third post in as many days!

Right now it's just playing catch up from summer additions to the collection.

Today's autograph is another one I needed for my PC as I once again try to add one of every Giants player, just as a reminder.

 

Darius Muasau has had a lot of opportunities lately with all of the injuries and has racked up some tackles.

Has he made a huge impact? Not really. But, maybe the more time on the field will get more out of him for next year.

I think he should also work on his autograph in the offseason as well.....

Single Card Mail Day: 2024 Score It's Good Autograph Amani Toomer

It's Good!

Yes, this mail day was a good one.

It has also been awhile since I last added an Amani Toomer autograph or any Amani Toomer in general.

I prefer to stick to 90's cards when I collect Amani, but adding a cool new autograph isn't always bad either.

 

This card isn't numbered, but I like the design and sparkle to it.

I did recently just add another Toomer autograph I will post at some point. 

This Toomer doesn't move me up very far on Trading Card Database standings as opposed to my standings with other player collections, but, maybe I should focus on adding a few more of him to put myself up there.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Panini National Treasures Gladiators /50

It's been awhile since I have posted on here, but, now that I have some free time I am back and will hopefully be able to post a few on here.

Of course the way the Giants have played this year I should have spent my time blogging instead of watching that mess every Sunday. But, being a fan can cause pain and I have experienced more than my share from them this year.

But, at least I have my Rodney's.

This Rodney is from 2024 National Treasures. My checklist is a little off on this one so I am not sure if there are other parallels from this subset in the set or not. Rodney also has autographs in the set that I don't have many of. It would be an expensive chase.

I guess the good thing about the last three years of collecting is the amount of Rodney out in the card world, the only downfall, the amount of Rodney out there in the card world. So many I have missed out on already because there are more Rodney than I have finances for.

I guess for now I will just have to sit back and hope some pop up again.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday and hopefully your team is playing better than mine.
