Excellent 15/15 Sterling! You've got some of the great rookies that are making a name for themselves this year. Congratulations!

15 was the # of the night, underrated rookie class this year I think...

Yes, the draft class of 2013 is forgettable at best. At least Austin had a few highlights, and you'll hear Pattersons name pop up every now and then. The only rookie that I can think of that stands out is Eddie Lacy. All of the 2013 Quarterbacks are a disappointment. In our hobby, that is a very unfortunate circumstance. The majority of premium cards are based solely on QB's. I fear in ten years, I'll look into my collection from 2013, only to find out that the majority of these rookies have not lived up to their expectations!

Instead of utilizing my funds on rookies this year, I've actually have been enjoying going back and looking into completing the many projects I had in the back of my mind. As you are well aware, I have an extensive 2012 Topps Chrome Set, I know if I revisit my Chrome set in ten years, I'll have players that have excelled in the NFL. I have also been quietly working on my Brett Favre Rookie cards. Besides the Stadium Club SB and the Wild Card sets, I have almost completed this project. Anyway, have fun and be safe over the Christmas weekend!
