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!

Rodney's Cardboard:2024 Finest Black Refractor Autograph /25

 

It's Sunday and it's time for a new Rodney's Cardboard.

This is actually one of my newest Rodney adds in the mail.

I have about five of the refractor autographs I need from the 2024 Finest set for Rodney. This is the second lowest numbered one I have in the run, I also have a red /5.

I actually like this one more than the red because I think the blue against the black background looks solid. More than the red does.

There are still 6 more to go in the run also including another black one which is still /25 but has like a square type of shape background.

Right now, as I type this, there are no more needs listed so hopefully some will pop up soon. I missed out on the /10 oil spill parallel which stinks, but there are still nine others that may pop up. It's when you miss a 1/1 that is the real kick.

Come back next week for another NEW Rodney's Cardboard! Have a great Sunday!

The Latest Eli's

I have been on an Eli buying rampage recently.

Any card that features Eli, catches my eye and fits into my very small budget, I will grab it.

Like this Eli that features the 1995 Finest design. I really like these. I have three I believe out of the rainbow...which I am not chasing.

This NFL Legends Rookie was under $5. Steal!

I usually only chase plain relic cards if they have an interesting design, like this one.

And this relic. Panini doesn't do it like this anymore.

Also grabbed this trio for under $6 as well.

My favorite relic pickup recently was this /50 Sunday Showdown dual patch card. Yes, these are patch swatches.

The next relic was like $3 for this Ultra Stars. It's plain all around, but for the price I had to snag it.

And the final card, another rookie card under $2.

In comments today, let me know your favorite card of the group today and if you buy relic cards for your PC player.
