Rodney's Cardboard:1992 Wild Card 1000 Stripe

It's Sunday and last week I missed out on posting a new Rodney Hampton card I know all of you guys were waiting on.

So here we go. Today isn't an autograph card. It's not a 1/1. It is however rare. 

When it comes to chasing rainbows in the hobby, one of the original rainbows to chase was the Wild Card Stripes. There were multiple levels of rarity and parallels. The higher the number, the more rare and harder to find the parallel especially the 1000 Stripes. 

The parallels came as 5,10,20,50,100 and 1000. I can't remember off the top of my head how many of the Rodney's I have from the chase. Each stripe had it's own color as well.

Today's card is the 1000 Stripe which color is Gold which is why the foil is gold.

 

There was no differences with the card backs when it came to these.

I acquired this one thanks to my buddy Wes who chased it down and surprised me at Christmas time.

Thanks again to Wes for snagging this one. I also recently acquired another one of the stripes as well.

Let me know in comments today if you ever chased, pulled or collected these.

Rodney's Cardboard:1992 Action Packed Mint Parallel

Welcome back for a NEW Rodney's Cardboard and another football Sunday!

Today, the Giants take on the Seattle Seahawks on the road who also have been a surprise. Whoever expected Geno Smith to outplay Russell Wilson this season?? Not me.

For today's Rodney's Cardboard, I am showing off a pretty unique and rare card I never thought I would see. It isn't easy to find new Rodney's anymore but occasionally, once every few months, there is a new one that pops up.

Which is why I didn't ever expect to see this one.

This is a 1992 Action Packed Mint Parallel. The card is the base card, but completely covered in gold foil.

The back of the card is also covered in the gold foil, besides the picture of Rodney, and the card is numbered 138/500. I have personally never seen one of these and can only imagine how hard a card numbered to 500 is actually to find in the early 90's.

Thanks to my buddy Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday fame for helping me acquire this big need.

Thoughts on today's latest Rodney, if you have seen or owned one of these and what early 90's card are you still chasing welcomed in comments.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday, GO GIANTS!

Rodney's Cardboard:1992 Wild Card 5-Stripe

It's NFL Kickoff Sunday and what a better way to celebrate such an even than with my latest Rodney Hampton add. There haven't been a lot of them incoming, but a few here and there.

This one comes thanks to my buddy @ShaneSalmonson from Cheap Wax Wednesday fame.

I never know the odds on these as the early 90's didn't have odds, but I know the higher the stripe, the more rare.

This one is just a base stripe with 5. Surprisingly I hadn't seen one pop up yet until Shane did. The only difference in these between the base is the literal black line at the corner of the card with the number of stripe it is.

 

Back of the card. I miss the days when we had photography and actual stats on the back of cards.

I am just glad to have another one of these done. This is my toughest chase left for Rodney other than 1/1's.

Thoughts on my latest Rodney Hampton and if you ever pulled or chased these welcomed in comments.
