Showoff Your Best Football Cards Thread

[ejiminee]

To ejiminee,

Is that a 2001 Topps product? If it is, the Autograph series blows me away. I especially like the cards that has the vintage rookie card with a stadium relic. I want to buy the Jim Brown card with the seat relic from the old "Cleveland Municipal Stadium".

If it's not, it's still an awesome card! What attracts me is that his penmanship is superb. There are a small handful of players with beautiful penmanship. Of the many, for now, I can think of my all time favorite, Brett Favre and one auto card that I will acquire sometime in the near future, Johnny Unitas.

Toshi,
The Howie Long is from 2000 Topps.

I know what you mean about how nice his handwriting is. It's one the things that draws me to certain players, too.

azdbacks1998, I did not realize your a Bills fan. I thought you collected players whom were Arizona Alumni's. Anyway, awesome Bills lot. Do you think E.J. Manuel can take the Bills to the playoffs in 2014?

Toshi

Yes, I do pursue U of A current and alum. players, but I also have a wide variety of likes across several sports/teams/players for many different reasons, I guess I'm just a fan of sports!

I've collected the Bills ever since just before their notorious 3 in a row Super Bowl loses. They were underdogs in each of those games and I've always been a "root for the underdog" kinda guy. I remember being a kid and loving to watch Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Don Beebe, Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett, Mark Kelso are a few that come to mind. I've been a fan basically when Thurman Thomas was drafted - 1989, they went to the SB in 90, 91 & 92.

With the arrival of EJ last year, they had some "slight" glimpses of "possible" success. Hopefully EJ's sophomore year will bring some more confidence to the team and they can at least make the playoffs in 2014.....only time will tell. I'd love to see the Bills have a successful year.

With that said, here's a few more from the collection:

To azdbacks1998,

I now clearly remember one of my first trades with you was a 2012 Panini Totally Certified T.J. Graham Red Rookie Materials. If I see any doubles of Bills, I'll send them out to you.

To vikingsfan4life,

The Certified FOG, acetate auto Moon, and the Jared Allen cards are my favorites. Jared Allen doesn't get the attention he deserves, he's really a great athlete. Of course he's not a Viking anymore.

Do you own any cards of Brett Favre as a Viking? That 2009 year was the best! In fact, it was Favre that got me interested in football during his tenure as a Viking. It was the game against his old team, Packers. Of course the Vikings won. That game was my first introduction to the NFL.

Very nice Woodson from an awesome product in Certified. Did you know my very first hobby pack Mrs. Toshi purchased for me was Certified?

My first hit ever was a 2012 Panini Certified Blue #/25 Charles Woodson Jersey card.
