Counting It Down Again

I have coffee, cards and my laptop out. Guess that means some Cards Over Coffee heading your way.

*takes a sip*

My creativity has been slacking recently as I have been in a slump with so much on my mind. What does this mean for my latest mail day from Oren, well, it means another countdown which doesn't require much thought but covers all of the spots.

So, lets kick it off.

12. 1997 Finest Blue Chips base card of Edgar Renteria which covers all of the upcoming stars.

11.2000 Topps Divisional Highlight. I don't know why I wanted this, I hate Pedro, the Red Sox and seeing them win together. But, I fall victim I guess to unique photography.

10. Topps First Pitch Ben Gibbard. I had to Google who he is, which turns out he lead singer for Death Cab For Cutie.

9. First Pitch Judd Apatow who directed quite a few films I have seen such as The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People, and This is 40.

8. I bet this Wrecking Crew insert looks amazing in refractor form.

7. Scott Rolen was that guy in the 90's prospectors would chase. This card simply just brings me back to those days.

6.Upper Deck and Oren continue to want to draw me in to collecting Hockey inserts and parallels.

5.1997 Fleer Team Leader. I have a thing for die cuts with faces. Just like the Wave Of The Futures in 1995 football.

4. Embossed and fun.

3. I miss the Upper Deck hologram days. But, guess from what I hear it costs a lot to run the technology to make the holograms which is why Upper Deck no longer does them.

2.Tommy Franks is an American general who led U.S. forces in the overthrow of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. A real hero here and is throwing out a pitch for the Yankees, this is an easy Top 3 card.

And drum roll on your coffee mug please........

 

1. Donruss Long Ball Leaders. 90's insert, numbered and shiny. To me this is the easy number one.

Thanks again to Oren for our latest trade!

*takes a final sip before closing up today's post*

One thing that I find fun with these countdown posts is the response from the readers. What do you guys think? Did I nail this top 12? Should some be swapped? If so, which ones? What card do you find the coolest.

Let me know in comments!

Hope everyone has a great night.

Throwpack Thursday:2005 Topps Kong

Coffee is ready and so am I for another Throwpack Thursday. Without further ado, coffee is ready and so am I!

*takes a sip*

In 2005, the movie King Kong was released and marked the second remake of the 1933 original and the eighth entry in the King Kong franchise.

The movie starred Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts and Jack Black and was one of the highest grossing movies of that year and also won multiple awards

To celebrate the films success , Topps released a King Kong product that you could find in retail and hobby form.

The Hobby release gave you had a chance of landing autographs and relic cards, while retail didn’t include those but did include the insert offerings.

Today, instead of monkeying around, I am going to open a pack of 2005 Topps King Kong retail to show off what you possibly might find in one of those packs.

*takes a sip, begins to rip*

In every retail pack of 2005 Topps Kong, you can expect to find seven cards. One of those seven cards could be from a variety of inserts such as Stickers, Embossed Foil, Flocked Cards or Video Game Creature Cards.

 

Card #1 The pack starts off with a character card with lead Jack Driscoll who is played by Adrien Brody

The Card backs for the characters gives information on the character and also mentions who they are played by.

Overall, there are 80 base cards in the set with 11 of those being these Character cards.

Card #2

 

Card #3

Card #4 INSERT!! This is a Video Game Creature Card. These cards fall 1:4 packs. At first glance, I didn’t know I had an insert. But, after looking at the first few cards again, I could tell.

The back of the Video Game Creature Card features a code and after you collect all five cards in the set with the codes you get $10 off from the Video Game. Which is obviously no longer valid now.

 

Card #5

Card #6 features Jack Black. You can tell he is much younger here and it's odd to see him without his beard.

 

The pack began and ended with a character card. This time it’s Hayes who is played by Evan Parke.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

*looks out the window for a giant ape, sees nothing, takes another sip*

Not a bad pack I opened as pulling an insert with a single random pack doesn’t always happen especially with my luck. It’s too bad they couldn’t have included chances at autographs and relic cards in the retail offering. Though I will say the autograph checklist is weak lacking the big celebrities in the movie but there are a few heavy swingers in terms of the relic cards.

Some of which I really want to track down.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Would You Rather? Parallel Edition

*takes a sip, sits down for today's latest post on Cards Over Coffee*

Welcome back to another Would You Rather? Today, I wanted to challenge you a bit more.

The game is called, Would You Rather. In this series you will be given two choices and you must make one decision sort of like The Matrix. Each decision you make will also have a problem tied into it and you will have to decide which is the better of the two choices. 

You will also have to live with your decision for the rest of your life...so make the right one.

*takes another sip before starting today's new series*

*sits in the dark alone wearing all black clothing and sunglasses*

*in a deep voice sitting in the dark*Hello Readers, my name is Mattpheus. I am the leader of the sport card universe and can offer you the control of your future.

    

I have two pills to offer you *holds hand out with both pills* that will lead you on your path today. Each pill gives you both an reward and a penalty.

Today, you can take the Red Pill and pull only silver parallels, but never from your team.

Or you can choose the Blue Pill and land every other color parallel but only of the worst players.

  

Make your decision below in the comments.

I will be awaiting your choice with my cup of coffee in the dark.

DISCLAIMER:

The blue pill makes you see night demons

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I hope a lot of you join in on the conversation.

Have a great Wednesday.

My First Vintage Chase?

*sits down, coffee in hand, breakfast in hand, a huge stack cards nearby. sorts them by color than proceeds to type*

I am not much into vintage when it comes to sports cards, mostly because I don't know that many players from those eras. I wasn't really into sports until 1995 so anything that happened 25+ years earlier than that didn't really have an impact on my sports life so collecting those players doesn't play a role in my nostalgia.

That doesn't mean I won't add a few players I know of, but not my top preference when it comes to new pickups.

However, when it comes to non-sport vintage cards, that's a different cup I don't mind drinking.

*speaking of cup of drinking, takes a sip*

Recently, I made a trade with @levy2628 who had stacks of 1977 Topps Star Wars and had been looking for a trade mate to unload them all to.

That's where I stepped in.

We pulled off a trade pretty fast, like we usually do, and I landed the stacks.

There was a stack of blue.

With Obi-Wan on the top.

A stack of Red.

With a picture of the spaceport on top.

And a stack of yellow.

 

With an escape pod on top.

Having all three stacks got me to thinking...should I chase my first vintage set? And if I do, how should I approach it? Need to keep in mind also that this is a very condition sensitive set and most I have aren't mint. However, being said, isn't the point of vintage cards not to be mint? It gives them their own flavor.

If I decide to go forward with this project, here is what I will have to tackle:

There are five series in the 1977 Topps Star Wars set with each having their own color, 

1 Blue
2 Red
3 Yellow
4 Green
5 Orange

but all pick up where the last one ended. Overall, there are 330 cards.

The Blue set, the most popular of the group because it has the "rookie cards" of, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I own a good portion of the key "rookie cards", especially the Skywalker that is most valuable, I may not be too far off from the set once I gather what I had already and what I just hauled in. There are only 66 cards in the first series.

This is my first haul of the other colors and here is how they break down,

Series 2 Border Color: Red
Card Numbers: 67-132

Series 3 Border Color: Yellow
Card Numbers: 133-198

Series 4 Border Color: Green
Card Numbers: 199-264

Series 5 Border Color: Orange
Card Numbers: 265-330

Now that I have broken it all down, how should I proceed with this. Just finish Series 1 Blue? Do the ones I have? Or chase it all?

Let me know what you think in comments!

Thanks again to @levy2628 for the trade.

Hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend and has a terrific Tuesday.

Blog Bat Around- The Last Base Card

John over at John's Big League Baseball Blog came up with a new Blog Bat Around and I was all on board to participate. 

Most of the Blog Bat Arounds I participate in. The ones I don't either I don't see, or they are a bit more challenging, and I am too lazy to dig stuff out for.

John's challenge was to post a last base card of your favorite player. I took this another route as I chose to post one of his first and one of his last. It had to be a base card, no inserts, autographs, relics or any of that fancy stuff.

Which isn't too hard for me as I have plenty of favorite players and base of them.

Choosing a player was pretty simple as the first player that came to my mind for me should be the one that comes to mind first, Rodney Hampton.

This is his 1990 Topps rookie card. I have close to 100 of these. It was a weird challenge to myself if you are curious why.

And one of his final, he has like six with three being different levels from Black Diamond, from 1998 Score.

Rodney played his entire career for the Giants from 1990-1997. He rushed for consecutive 1000-yard seasons from 1991-1995. After the 1995 season, Rodney was offered a Free Agent offer sheet by the 49ers which the Giants quickly and fortunately matched. 1996 season he shared carries season with Tyrone Wheatley and fell short of his usual 1000-yard season. Only to get hurt in the season which costed him most of the 1997 season except two games and one playoff game. He was then cut by the Giants prior to the 1998 season and never was signed so he decided to retire. Which is what I like. I wanted to make sure he was a Giant for life unlike some other running backs I know....

If you haven't joined in yet on this Blog Bat Around, go do so. It was fun.

In the meantime, drink your coffee, and have a happy and safe Memorial Day.

Well, there you have it. My big list. I am closing on 300 items soon which I could possibly even get to right now. But, I will leave it with these for now.

Hopefully someone reading this today can be of some help with any of these. Make sure though to always check out The Top Wants list before you inquire with me because I may have acquired a want and I always cross them off there first.

Have a great Sunday.

*takes a final sip...well for this post, I plan to drink more coffee*

Before I close, I also wanted to remind you of the Coffee Card Hall Of Fame voting and that it needs you guys to nominate cards in. Since there was at least one new card in this post I had to add this in just in case it gets nominated in.

Details on the Coffee Card Hall Of Fame can be found HERE. I may add this to every post from here on out for a reminder as I will forget about this too! Haha!

The Surprise At The End

My latest trade with Oren hauled me in some cool cards, especially one that was a surprise in the trade. I always find having that surprise card in our trades just adds to the excitement for the mail day to arrive not knowing what he has snuck in there.

But first, let's look at the rest of the trade I knew was incoming.

The Walking Dead base cards. I still haven't watched an episode, but still find myself adding cards from it.

Hot Diggity Dog! (for those parents out there, you will get this phrase)

A DJ mini.

Always thought this was such a cool thing. Maybe, BIG MAYBE, someday my wife and I can add to this.

I can't imagine riding a horse and playing a sport. Last time I rode a horse, let's just say the saddle didn't stay on top of the horse because someone didn't strap it well enough and I found myself in a very awkward position......

Dancing will never be for me. I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld.

I really like watching reels on Facebook, especially the ones that involve Illusions. I don't know how they do it nor do I want to know. The mystery is fun.

How cool would it be to work for ESPN?!

I'm not one for classical music, but I have some family members that are.

So, is riding a bike like riding a bike? Meaning, I haven't ridden a bike in 20 plus years, can I ride a bike as easy as riding a bike?

Being a high school football coach is on my bucket list for some day. This guy sounds like a lot of fun as he is a risk taker. Onside kicks, doesn't punt, goes for two points. Interesting approach. It wouldn't be mine as I am an old school guy when it comes to football, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't try a risk.

Parasailing and me, no. I don't like water. I don't know how to swim, and I am afraid of water. This is a big no.

And now we are onto the surprise card of the group....

 

1964 Topps Beatles Black And White Ringo Star. This one moves up the ranks as one of my coolest vintage non-sport cards I own.

Thanks goes out to Oren for our latest trade.

*takes a sip before finishing up this post*

As I type this today, Oren and I just finished up yet another trade. He is keeping cards incoming to me which is good as it keeps me busy. That's until I run out of stamps!

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

81.2%

It's been a hot week here with temps sitting at 83 and above. Which may not sound warm to most of you, but, for here, it's hot.

But here I am still sitting with a hot coffee and some hot cards with a hot new post.

*takes a sip*

I kept pushing off adding my Rodney Hampton collection on TCDB, then decided it was finally time when I was doing some research on there and saw my rankings in the 600's with a couple of cards I must have added years ago. 

Knowing I am the king of Rodney, I couldn't let that stand.

So, I went to work and input all of the Rodney's I had. Come to find out, Rodney has 962 total cards and I own 81.2% of those. Which is incredible when you really think about it. Think about all of the rare 90's inserts/parallels and the 1/1's that have been added over the years.

However, when it comes to a real total of Rodney cards, my number doesn't match that one as TCDB doesn't cover all of the oddball cards that were out there. Including uncut sheets, proofs, and uncut cards. 

Which I own some of each and here is an example of some,

Rodney mini poster.

A cut autograph from The Bar Hybrid Edition.

Uncut Fleer Ultra Sensations card featuring Rodney Hampton and Jerry Rice.

And probably my favorite one, an uncut 1995 Finest dual refractor of Rodney and Junior Seau. This is a thing of beauty.

I haven't had a chance to count up all of my oddballs to have an exact number of Rodney's yet, but hopefully will soon.

As expected, here is my ranking on TCDB for Rodney,

Pretty far at the top. The second-place person actually has some I need believe it or not. If anyone does any form of trading on there and want to snatch those up for me, let me know. I will trade with you for doing so.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

My next project is to add my Kerry Collins collection to TCDB. I am currently unranked as I only added one card so I could see my rating. It will be interesting if I can make a run at first place there as well. The current person in first has 517 out of the 2,834 total cards Collins has. I believe my last count for Kerry was at 600.

I will do a Collins post at some point when I add mine.

I hope all of you have a great Friday!
