Showoff Your Best Football Cards Thread

[hayn]

I'm a huge Brett Favre fan!! My recent complete set was the 1992 Topps Stadium Club Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 or better known as (High Series).

One of my very last 2012 Topps product of the year "Supreme"!
My very first dual auto of Rueben Randall and David Wilson.

One of my very first hobby box purchases was the 2012 Panini Certified. My other favorite was the 2012 Topps Platinum. Although I did not purchase a hobby box of the latter, I did enjoy Topps products like Chrome, Platinum, Triple Threads, and Supreme! I like both Topps and Panini. Topps Platinum and Panini Certified was the two products that got me hooked into card collecting in 2012. Panini seems to be my overall favorite due to the huge library of products that they offer. And to think that they started with stickers of football (Soccer for us Americans) players!

Overall I do have many more hits from various products that I would like to share on other threads, but of these cards, my favorite was the 2012 Topps Triple Threads 3 Relic 18/18 Matt Ryan! My son purchased one mini box or half a hobby box of Triple Threads for my 2012 Christmas present. My wife purchased the 2012 Panini Certified hobby box as well for Christmas. Of course a few weeks later, my wife and I purchased the other half of the Triple Threads from our local hobby shop here in Streetsboro, Ohio. "Collectors Palace". We are a tandem, my wife enjoys picking the hobby boxes and or packs (I will not purchase items without her present, she is able to pick without feeling the pack, all of my big hits), call it "Women's Intuition" or her "Channeling the inner Goddess"! She is beyond the WOW factor! She then enjoys opening each pack, whenever I hear her say OMG! I know we got a big hit. My part of collecting that I truly enjoy is placing the cards in protectors and adding and scanning them in to my personal library.

I just got the 2013 Leaf Legends of the Gridiron. It's a 1/1 card auto of Archie Griffin and John David Crow.

My wife and I went to the hobby shop today to get some collecting supplies. We got all the supplies needed, the owner told my wife that he had a limited hobby box for her. As soon as she saw it, she said we will take it! Once we got home, she carefully cut the the silver foil tape with the Leaf logo that was holding the box closed. Upon opening it, she looked somewhat confused, she said; “Is that it”? To her chagrin, she did not realize that this hobby box came with one card. I told her that she needs to purchase hobby boxes that have 20 packs with 5 cards per pack. As for myself? I was amazed by what was waiting for me. A carefully packed box with cut out foam and felt lining the top supporting the Beckett slab. This was no ordinary slab, it held a dual autograph numbered 1/1. Living in Ohio, I immediately recognized the cut signature as Archie Griffin. He is a hero here in the world of gridiron. The cut signature on the opposite side was of John David Crow. This is the thickest card I’ve ever seen, the slab alone was 1/2 inch! As for the quality, I must say Leaf had done a great job in presentation and marketing of this product. This is one hobby box that I will keep to protect my 1/1 wonder as well as to utilize it for display. It’s a well designed product. Definitely two thumbs up!

To Mr. Win,

I'm having trouble loading my football card collection for viewing. I assume you're a moderator if you or anyone else could help me I would greatly appreciate it. What I do are these steps;

1) I hit the Go Advance Button

2) then I hit the manage file button

3) I hit the choose file

4) my files pop up, and I pick the picture that I want to share

5) I hit upload

6) I hit the Save

I noticed that I can only load a specific amount of files, if I delete the files to make room, all the pictures on threads disappeared! Also, all my pictures are thumbnails! Can you give me a step to step process? Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

If you only have the files on your computer, then that seems like the correct way to load them. There is a "max file size" (and I assume that means the total size - one or a dozen - that can be loaded) listed in that "manage..." window.

Most of us use Photobucket to load photos up here. It's pretty simple to use.

1. Locate the photo, point to it.
2. Select "Get Links.."
3. Click in the slot below "IMG Codes" (It should say "Copied" after you click).
4. Come back here & paste the code into your post.

To = Ejiminee,

Thank you for your help. As you see here, I finally found out how to post pictures via Photo-bucket. My daughter took me through the steps, this is one of my recent hits! My wife purchased a 2012 Topps Supreme.
