Just wanted to show off a set I completed yesterday. I can't remember which one I pulled, but once I saw it, I had to complete it. I LOVE multi-color patches, especially when there are multiple players on the card. Is this a valuable set? No, but it sure is cool to look at! The Falcons was /10 so that was the hardest to get, followed by the Panthers. The rest just took careful searching. LMK what you think! :)!

I know they used to sell card display cases at Michael's/Hobby Lobby (and stores like that) but not sure if the patch cards would fit in them.

Congrats - awesome set. Just thought of this now, and it is kind of a joke, but in the right setting, it could be cool to have glass table with the cards exposed, sort of a like a bottle cap table? probably would take a little arts and crafts efforts, but i assume the encased cards/under glass would be protected and it could be a novel sunday afternoon table to set beers and snacks.

Great looking set to bad they didn't have all 32 teams but still great set.

If your looking for a display check my pic below I picked up this display board from Wal Mart its a hard foam about 1/4" thick its in the arts and crafts or by the crayons. I traced out the patterns, then cut out the holes, spray painted it black, bought a cheap picture frame and bango.

Sweet! so the cards are basically sitting in carved-out holes in the 1/4" think material you bought? you then put them in the holes and then put the whole thing in a picture frame? Not a bad idea.

Looks awesome. If you decide to display you may want to put each card in a pro mold screwdown case. They are smaller like a top loader but look beautiful when they are laid out all together. I like them for patch sets especially. More focus on the card and less on the magnetic. Congrats
