**gripe over** Love seeing full sets like these put together.

Photoshopped uniforms with the classic 00’s is worse in my opinion.

I'd be lucky to name half of the players in that set without looking at the back.

Currently working on some similar years Contenders stuff that look way more appealing IMO.

This one was way harder to finish than it should have been. Was stuck on one card for over a year. Red Sox fans are the worst!

He was pretty good for a season or two. I bet awz50 would shoehorn him into the HOF if he had any say.

Thanks!


You didn't name yourself after the band did you?

[Boredlawyer]

if someone asked me to name two random baseball players from any generation, Chad Hermanson and Warren Morris pop into my head.

Yamid Haad is the third. Despite having never been to Pittsburgh in my life, late 90s Pirates evidently left an indelible mark on my prepubescent frontal cortex.

Great set!

No, didn't know about the band. Was more of a nod to Poe and also the fact I never thought I would collect again when I began again in the hobby, yet here I am many years later.

Another great auto set from that time period. Lot of nice looking autos too.

[shanghai2020]

such cool collection

Another set complete. I didn't want to post this yesterday and overshadow Santa's big day.

Later this week I should have another set in the books. It's all about saying no to marriage and children. Life's easy if you can do that. How many people on this forum have collecting guardrails put in place by a woman? Or in Bleeckerstreet's case a man.

[hermanotarjeta]

You are a collecting fiend.

Strong work.

Goes to show that an entire rookie class isn’t worth collecting. What, Hopkins and Geno are the two “stars” from this set? Also shows that true legends like Brady need to be collected more.

Great work Puddle! Love that they are all on card autos.

How many sets do you think you have?

Keenan Allen is a potential future HOFer.

I'll make sure the next set has more HOFers.

Not sure, I'll have one of my minions count.

Wow PuddleMonkey, you have some nice stuff! Do you also focus on Vintage HOF RC Autos?

I have tons of autos from my 80's IP autograph collecting days but I don't do that stuff anymore. It was fun as a kid to run around getting autographs but it feels weird as an adult. Now I just collect what Topps tells me to.

You have an awesome collection! What is your plan as you get older with all of these?

He's donating all of it to his pet monkey.

I didn’t mean it like that. I meant as individuals. I am as bad as the next guy. Ask me how many Jarrett Stidhams I have lol…way too many


A complete set of one offs is gtg…

I don't have kids so I imagine my brother will toss most in the trash.

I'm not offended, I was just setting up my next posted set as the last card is on its way and overall the set is probably a little stronger player wise. It's another football set, also Contenders, one year difference.
