A Resurgence Of Rodney

*coffee is prepped, I have cards nearby, breakfast as well. mmmm pumpkin donut.*

*takes a bite, a sip and moves on with today's post*

The last two posts on this blog have specifically been about the resurgence of Rodney activity in the hobby after a short layoff.

It has come though in full force as I have not been able to keep one focus or keep track of one product with him in it.

And it doesn't help that there is SO MUCH out there to chase.

This is both a complaint, but also some joy knowing that the end of my Rodney chasing isn't over yet.

*takes another sip, another bite, another sip. pure bliss*

Today's cards are from the 2023 Topps Composite product. As opposed to the inserts in the last post from the same product, these are the autographs. There are tons of them in the product with some just being autograph and others coming with dual relics.

Let's kick it off and don't mind me for messing up the parallels on these. They are awfully hard to figure out.
Base auto.

Teal Surge /149

White Surge /125

Blue Surge /75

Lime Green Power Surge /25

Geometric Green /20

And the final card is the Amped dual relic auto. One of many there are. They just go for way too much and are overpriced.
 
This is the purple parallel /99.

Well this is all I have for now.

This also marked all of the new Rodney's that I have for now.

*takes another bite to finish the donut, sip of coffee, then finishes up today's post before moving onto the second donut*

I think these look pretty cool and as Topps lands the NFL license soon, they will look even better and give them more opportunities. Question is though, will they continue to plug Rodney into their products.

For now, I will enjoy this resurgence of Rodney and collect what I can of it.

Have a great day.

8 Cups Left.

  1. Coffee is good, even without a donut. It would be better with one. Nice Rodney cards. Kickoff in 5 minutes. SKOL Vikings!

  2. These do look nice. I'm glad they included retired guys like Hampton. I noticed Topps also has Sebastian Janikowski in their lineup. Almost bought one of his autographs from this product yesterday.

    1. There are a lot of underrated names in the product. I am liking some of the 90's guys like Ben Coates too

  3. Given the sheer amount of them, and the silly names that are often attached to them, all collectors deserve a pass when it comes to trying to identify/remember the names of modern parallels.
