Please also check out my other rainbows and see how to contribute or trade to fill your own rainbows.
As I complete each rainbow, I will be looking to grade each card in the rainbow with PSA. While I will be using the bulk rate service, the grading will still run about $11 per card or $20 for those with autographs and this project is already pretty expensive. If you want to sponsor grading for any card, you can just send $11.64 or $20.91 (depending on the card) to https://paypal.me/cwbreaks and add your name and web link and “Sponsor card [card description]” in the notes. I will link sponsors with special mention below each complete rainbow.
There are a handful of products/sets not yet listed here, usually because I haven’t started those rainbows. I’d love to have all of them going, so if you have cards from anything not listed here, please do send them to :

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why Rowdy Tellez and why collect rainbows?
A: A guy in a group I’m in listed the base 2019 Topps Chrome Rowdy Tellez and about 3 color variations for sale for what I think was $8 shipped. I figured that’s pretty cheap, so maybe I can complete the rainbow without spending too much. While working on that one, I decided to try for a couple more. Then people started sending me Tellez cards that I hadn’t started rainbows for, so I started them. Things kind of snowballed from there.
Q: Will you ever sell any of these cards or completed rainbows?
A: There are 800+ 2019 Rowdy Tellez cards, so collecting them all is getting quite expensive. In order to complete future rainbows, I will make completed, graded rainbows available for sale. Each will be announced on my Twitter.
Q: What if I donate cards? Will you give me a cut of the sale or any recognition?
A: I’m keeping track of donated cards and will donate a portion of the rainbow’s sale to a The Humane Society. eBay has this option built into the sales setup, but if I sell outside of ebay, I’ll post proof of donation. The percentage donated will closely match the percentage of card value donated or greater. If you have a 1/1, /5, or similar card to contribute and would like to recover some proceeds from the sale, that is also possible.
Q: Why are you grading and how does sponsorship work?
A: Once a rainbow is complete, I think having each card slabbed and graded will add to the look of it as well as the value and will also keep all the cards protected much more than top loaders or even one-touches. Anyone can sponsor grading for any one, multiple, or all cards in a complete rainbow with the link at the top of the page. Sponsorship gets recognition and a link on this page and the warm fuzzies, but that’s it. I only offer this up because grading every single card can get pretty expensive. Complete rainbows will be graded via the cheapest bulk service and I’ll take one final photo of the graded rainbow when complete.
Q: Why didn’t you take the picture with the rainbow ordered by color or by rarity or by … ?
A: The initial and update photos are often ordered by how the cards fall in a checklist, so you’ll see things like base then black then blue, etc. This helps me keep things sorted so I know what cards I need. Because different products have variations that include additional colors, not all colors, or some that aren’t color variations at all, completed rainbows are ordered by rarity increasing (1/1s last) and secondarily by check list order. Some people will go bonkers looking at the incomplete rainbows. I’m sorry.
Q: Will you help me with my rainbow?
A: Absolutely. I’m always up for trade and will even RAK cards out sometimes. If I see someone in need of rainbow fillers, I always check what I have. Just ask.
Q: How else can I help with this project?
A: Definitely don’t get in a bidding war with me on eBay for a card. I’m only buying when I can afford to, but don’t need the extra competition.
Share the link to this page and share or retweet any of my posts on Twitter and Facebook. More eyes on this page means more donated cards and more value to any grading sponsors. Every little bit helps.
If you’re in a break or see someone pull a card needed here, point them to this page and ask them to consider contributing the card. When I buy even the cheap cards, just a handful, each with separate shipping, can add up to $100 quickly, so even contributions of the cheaper base and variations go a long way.
