Boycott the NFL

After watching this Monday Nights Football game I am now boycotting all things NFL till the NFL and the Refs resolve their labor disput. Get off your ass Godell.

2012 Topps Football Team Set

Finally got around to putting the 2012 Team set together for the Team set collection.
18 cards in the base set, which is nice because it takes up two full 9 pocket pages.

I week to go

Man I'm getting excited.  Regular season officially starts in a week (at least for the Giants and Cowboys) and the Pack gets to test their mettle against what was a pretty decent 49ers team last year. I'm really hoping that all those defensive draft picks work out, cause we need it, and I'm also excited to have a veteran running back in the back field to mix it up.

3 Months already.

Wow has it really been 3 months since I posted on here?  Yikes.  Well to be honest it's been quiet in the realm of the Packers.  We won't be making any waves in the draft and we don't seem to have any drama brewing with the team this off season.  I've picked a few cards up. Read a few articles about the health of the team, yada yada yada, but since the only football releases have been insanely high end or Panini, I've not been in a football mood. That said the real reason I wanted to post something here is so I don't get booted off the blog rolls for inactivity and can reset the clocks.  Petty I know and I apologize if you read this post thinking there would be something of substance. I've been pretty busy posting over at Collector's crack and even on a  few of my team and player specific blogs, just not here.  I will share my one and only Packers TTM success so far.  I've only sent one so I'm batting 100%. Plus if you read Collector's Crack you've already seen this.

One is for me the other for part of my brother's birthday present.

I just picked up a set of 89 Score Supplemental football for super cheap and am half tempted to send Sterling's rookie card to him to sign as well.  I think I got these two back in less than 2 weeks.
I sent them to the NFL network address. You can see the full write up over at Collector's Crack.

My new Favorite Jordy Nelson Rookie Card and an spiffy new AJ Hawk card.

I was digging through my eTopps cards that I just got and found this great Jordy Nelson rookie from 2008.

I really like the 2008 design and it's numbered to 699.  Too bad eTopps is now dead but there are some great cards out there.

I also just got this bad boy in the mail.

You can just see the white peaking out on the left.  A great steal if I do say so myself.

A delicious new Jordy for the Jordy Supercollection.

I ended up picking this card up for more than I would have liked, but the Packers are hot right now.  But I got this cheaper than any of the other die-cuts I've seen on Ebay.  Someone actually has one listed for 60 bucks!

Anywho it's Super Bowl Die cut card from the Topps Legends website.  I've redeemed all my codes and never unlocks a single card.  There's also a Gold number version of all the cards.  The Aaron Rodgers cards are going for huge bucks right now too.  But I'm glad I snagged this one when I did.
