Philly Suburbs

Hey all,

Been collecting off an on most of my life, but really trying to narrow my focus as of recently.

Mainly because I've been discouraged by where the hobby has gone. A lot of people have mentioned this, but the costs have just gotten so high.

Boxes, packs, grading, etc, everything is just such an investment. I stopped paying attention to new products for about 10 years maybe, so it was kind of shocking to see that there is Panini and not much else.

Either way, I've been targeting NFL Hall of Fame Autos recently. I can take my time, buy a single when I want, get it in a nice magnetic holder, and eventually get a display case.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums. Hoping once Topps produces NFL products again, then the hobby will be different but not like Panini and just putting out so much junk.
