2012 Score

[hayn]

To my fellow forum members,

As forum members are well aware, any 2012 products that portray Andrew Luck, RGIII, Russell Wilson are priced as a premium product. I have found that I continue to enjoy collecting 2012 football cards, as I am biased in all things 2012. Starting my collecting of football cards in 2012, spoiled would be the correct word to describe my collecting habits.

As I continue to purchase products from 2012. Call me dedicated. There is another great reason to this, these specific cards are getting harder and harder to find. There were only two Andrew Luck, three RGIII, and two Russell Wilson's available on eBay. Two years ago, and even one year ago, these cards were available by the dozen. It was also at 40% less book value. Currently these cards were sold at 40% to 50% book value. As available stocks dwindle, these cards rise in value. It made sense to me to start my first purchase of these three players with Score, I will slowly work my way up the product ladder. Please review cards as follows.

Toshi,

No, I do not. Are you needing one?

[RBRedskin]

Dont' need one. Have extras. Going to add one to the package that I am sending out this weekend. Didn't want to send you one that you already have.

Never been a Score set collector but those are really nice! I think this is the first time I seen them. Something I just thought of... NFL should invite people to fill up the bottom of the stadium they use to shoot at the Rookie Premier so the background looks more authentic. Would be awesome to watch what all goes on during that photo shoot!

Thank you so much. You didn't have to do this. I will look forward to this special package upon its arrival! Now you've got me very excited!

Thank you,

I also am not a huge Score fan. As you know, I've only started my collection since the last month of 2012. Score has always been an entry level product that is the first to debut, hence I had no idea what it looked like as well, nor what it's purpose was until recently.

My purpose to collect these three cards depicted above is due to its collectibility in the players and it's interesting financial gain. Again and again, I reiterate, I do not collect for profit, but it's a different and exciting aspect to anyone's collection. I tread a fine line as such regarding my statement. I wanted to start by slowly collecting the trifecta of these players in products that I could afford. I felt Score was a great start for me.

The design is simple and easy on the eyes. Most importantly, it's within my budget. My next project will consists of 2012 Topps Prime Hobby Edition of these three players. It's a little more in cost but still affordable. I love cards that are full bleed. There is 2012 bowman but the design looks like a bad cartoon from a bad dream. After this, I think it'll be Topps and I'll stop there. I already own complete sets of a Chrome Master Set, Platinum, and Finest, so that's covered in that area as far as Luck, RGIII, and Wilson is concerned. Panini has Prestige, Certified, and Elite. The last two are products that have numbered cards of rookies so this makes it out of my budget. Believe it or not, although Prestige is a better tiered product than Score, Scores design far out weighs prestige lack luster attempt.

I really like your idea in regards to filling up the stands as well as allowing fans to have the opportunity to do so st the Rookie Premier! It could be a contest situation. Please do yourself a favor and go to the Knights Lance website and email Tracy Hackler in regards to your idea. It just might take off and make you famous. Can you say free hobby boxes? Oh yah!

No problem! This is another aspect to collecting that I never considered, the opportunity to add the humanistic touch to collecting football cards. It pleases me greatly that you enjoy the cards. This is why I love my phrase; "Christmas 24/7". That's what Jesus wanted anyway. It's like my Scrooge concept. Don't wait for three horrific ghosts to make one aware of the good, just do it now in regards to the giving aspect!

2012 Topps Bowman

To my fellow forum members,

As promised, here is the next trifecta of the top three quarterbacks from the 2012 Draft Class. The above Score's design is exceptable for a low end product, the Bowman is from another galaxy! Color Crayon graphics with blank jersey's add absolutely nothing to these designs. I don't know how to explain it any other way. I was still determined to aquire this set of three cards for a part of my trifecta collection.

One reason would be that it's my favorite players, Luck, RGIII, Wilson. The other reason is that each card runs a high of $8.00 book value. Really, $8.00 for Crayon drawings? My next set of regular Topps should be here soon. Oh well, here they are.

Hey Toshi,

Bowman has definitely become bland. They did that with the jerseys last year and again this year. They can't show the rookies in their true college uni's (only Upper Deck can), so I don't know why they just don't show them in pro uni's. BTW, I am guessing you know (maybe not), but your RGIII is the gold parallel version.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't catch that. I purchased the Andrew Luck and RGIII as a lot for $6.50 including S&H.

[hayn]

To RBRedskins,

I just checked the Beckett book value, the RGIII gold parallel is $16.00. Wow. I had no idea. It's veteran long time serious collectors like you that novice collectors like myself can learn so much from. Once again, thank you so much for the heads up!
