2012 Score

[RBRedskin]

No prob. Looks like you got a better deal than you originally thought.

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.

The Top 3 Quarterbacks of The 2012 Draft Class

What a phenominal year it was during the 2012 NFL season. I haven't been that excited since the return of Brett Favre as a Viking! It's no surprise that one of the three Quarterbacks from the 2012 Draft Class would win a Super Bowl, congratulations Seahawks and Russell Wilson, the other two made it into the playoffs, Luck and RGIII. Win, win, win. That's all they did. I'm interested in seeing what 2014 brings about. It's a new year and a new time.

With that being said, there's still the veteran Quarterbacks we must recognize. There's the likes of Brady, Manning, Brees, and Rodgers to name a few. The competition is stiff the games are dire, and the road to the Super Bowl is difficult at best and it seems like it's in another galaxy.

Let's not forget the rookies. Most will be forgettable in six months. Only a few select handful that have the discipline, will be able to continue their season into 2015.

In this thread, I'd like to touch on the subject of art. We know art in music, writing, painting, performing, and creating ie: Architecture, sculpture, etc. But in sports? No way! Is Toshi loosing his mind? I see it this way, first and foremost, all top professional athletes start at a very young age. They then spend the rest of their childhood as an apprentice would, learning skills and techniques. They then take their craft and attempt to publicly display their art for free to the general public. Once they reach a pinnacle, they are recognized by the professional community and can finally reap their rewards financially and with fame.

They want naught in absolute disregard of their temple (Bodies). The abuse it takes and the tolls as well. None of this can be achieved without discipline. Discipline drives the individual to hone their craft and to perfect it. To me, this sounds exactly like art.

This is one of many reasons, that has attracted me to collecting football cards. We all start as novices (Currently, like myself), then metamorph into a collector and finally as a connoisseurs of artistic examples of rare and valuable depictions of art. I hope to one day become such a connoisseurs, I can only do this with discipline!

Until then, here are two more examples of my "Trifecta Collection". Please view and enjoy these cards.

Thank you,

Toshi
