Actually, I was collecting before, but it has worked out extremely well! biggrin.gif The VY collection, not as much. sad.gif Also got a little bit of CJ before he blew up, so that's nice.

Hey, every collection starts small. That is the way of the universe.

Chris Johnson. I got 2 autos (one in person on eBay, one a Press Pass /199), a few numbered inserts (mainly from Press Pass), and some base rookies.

My CJ collection is about done. He's too expensive for me. laugh.gif My Michael Griffin collection is booming though, and one of these days Finnegan will get some cardboard.

Nice PC, Will....keep up the good work.

Posted by: vslyke Oct 25 2008, 03:00 PM

Thanks guys! I'm getting another one in for the Threads (first one is bent), and I got another Leaf auto /99 (because there was some white spot on the side of the right balck bar) and then it turned out that it had it as well (they all do). So now I have 2 if anyone wants one.

Posted by: vslyke Oct 27 2008, 04:01 PM

While I'm building up for all the free cards I seem to be getting, (thanks to roadrunner, whatwild, and monsta!) I do have one sad story to tell. Last night, a Michael Griffin auto 1/1 ended. I was leading in bidding up until 2 seconds were left, when I got outbid. Thought I was crazy for putting $30 dlvd on it, and then I got sniped. sad.gif

In the meantime, here is one update:

Great stuff! I have a Griffin collection as well. Not as large as yours,it's a few SP authentic's,exquisite's and a bunch of Press Pass stuff of him in a UT uniform. Good luck with yours! If you ever have any extra Bo Scaife stuff to sell, I'm your man.

I have a little Sciafe. Maybe I could trade them for some of the Press Pass? I don't have much of that.

Still got the Michael Griffin Platinum auto /25. You have any new stuff for trade? (baseball)

Posted by: vslyke Nov 2 2008, 05:12 PM

I'd love it, but I don't have anything new. I can hunt down a list of Red Sox inserts/RCs if you would like.

Posted by: ffman Nov 2 2008, 05:14 PM

Your entire Titans collection is amazing - forget about only Griffin!


Posted by: vslyke Nov 2 2008, 05:20 PM

Haha. Don't know about that, I just invest in a lot of a little. Plus Titans are so easy to get, you don't have to strain just to get some low end GUs.

Posted by: broscards Nov 3 2008, 12:12 AM

Not for long if they keep playing the way they are! I just got Titans and Browns tickets!

Posted by: vslyke Nov 3 2008, 04:40 PM

Very true. That game should be a slaughter, but they have started to turn it around in Cleveland.

Posted by: vslyke Nov 3 2008, 04:53 PM

It's been a slow mail time for me, but here is one I got today. Thanks to roadrunner1964 for this one!

Still looking for other cards that I do not have.

Great. I really did need that one, and there are plenty left. biggrin.gif

BTW, if any one has any, I am still looking for Griffins! Please LMK if you have any I do not have.

Posted by: vslyke Nov 9 2008, 09:18 PM

Beckett has a total of 422 different cards for Michael Griffin. I have 32 different ones, which gives me 7.58% of the Griffins available. That means that there are plenty out there that I still need!

Also, according to Beckett, the only 2008 product that he is in is Score. Anyone know of any others that he is on?

Posted by: broscards Nov 9 2008, 11:03 PM

was he #10 at the rc photo shoot and #33 in the pros or the other way around??


Nice stats and Nice # inscription on the contenders biggrin.gif

I noticed meachem does that when there is room.. but usually not on stickers, mainly on letters or other stuff!

Im sure you'll track some down on here - That is hilarious about Bob's package being a bomb laugh.gif

He's #33 in the pros, but I am not sure why he had #10. He never went to the big photo shoots, that's why PW went, and why Monsta had billions of cards to chase down. laugh.gif

Thanks! I really didn't notice the inscrption on the auto at first.

Haha. Thanks and I hope I can get a few more!

Posted by: vslyke Nov 16 2008, 09:37 PM

Thanks guys! Speaking of my Griffins, I just realized that one of the ones I just won is a duplicate. It stinks that SP has so many different variations. It's easy to forget what you have, and what you don't have.

Posted by: NGWH Sports Cards Nov 16 2008, 09:45 PM

Why do ya collect him?

Posted by: vslyke Nov 16 2008, 09:59 PM

Hmm. Tough question. When I first started, I aimed to be the Kiansdad of the Titans. Then I realized I couldn't afford it. laugh.gif I had the foresight to see that CJ was the next big thing, but I didn't have the money to capitalize on it. VY stuff is way too expensive for me, same for LenDale (who is on his way out of Tennessee anyway).

And so, I had to find a Titan who had stuff to collect, and was affordable. My favorite Titan is Finnegan, who unfortunatly has almost nothing to get (2 RCs, with one impossible to find variation for one, and an 07 Topps Total triple).And then there was Griffin. 1st round pick with tons of stuff, dirt cheap, and a really good player. Good fit for me.

Posted by: NGWH Sports Cards Nov 17 2008, 07:17 PM

PM me all your Biggio base and inserts and anything esle please. Thanks ya.

Posted by: vslyke Nov 17 2008, 09:07 PM

He beat me for the SP 1/1. I was winning until the last second, and then he sniped me. dry.gif Didn't see the Playoffs before he got it.

Haha, thanks John. There a few that I haven't gotten yet, Exquistie comes to mind. Also, I only have one of the Leafs, and none of the Classics. Anyone card to chip in? My Titans PC is open for trade for the Griffin Super PC.

Coming along very nicely - stick with it, slowly but surely your nemesis will fade away, and start selling wink.gif

Actually I just got back in the hobby over this offseason. So, no, not really. You do have more cards to chase than me though, of course that means that more of Griffin's cards are hard to get (SPs, 1/1s, etc.)

He had one in the Steelers game, Week 16. That one closed out the game. It's a shame the voting for the Pro Bowl ends so early, he would have had a good shot to make it if they had voted until the end of the season. He'll be on the 09 squad though, no doubt about it. biggrin.gif

Added 7 new cards to my Griffin PC today!!! Not as good as Tim's Olsen mailday, but pretty sweet none the less.

Let's start with the 6 cards I got from one eBay store:

And now, one of the nicest cards in my PC, and the one with my favorite story. michiganmaniac94 PM'ed me a while back for my addy. At first, I was worried that he was giving me a duplicate of one of these incoming cards, but he definitely did not. So, here it is, my first 1/1!!!

4 pocket pages to go in a binder. I prefer putting cards in a binder, because it's a safe way to easily display them.

It doesn't numb the pain of not having a single Griffin mailday this week, but here's a decent article about Griffin. Here's hoping he gets Pro Bowl recognition from the voters next year!

Me too! And yeah, I'm just glad he didn't go to the photoshoots, that keeps the total number down.

And in a seperate note, Griffin prices have skyrocketed since he was named to the Pro Bowl. He has one auto that is up to $16, with over 11 hours left to go!!! huh.gif I've never seen a non 1/1 auto of his go that high (the Exquisites usually fetch $6 or so) and this is going to be putting a major crimp in my collecting. Maybe I shouldn't have been so gung ho when he made the Pro Bowl. blink.gif

Well, one of them. Finnegan got burned by Fitzgerald for two TDs, but then again, Fitz has a half a foot on him. Griffin did have a few really big saves; that was nice to see.

How is that possible? Griffin was in all of those prodcuts his rookie year (except for Mayo obviously) and he was the 24th pick. He's also a Patriot, so you figure the card companies would want him in the set.

Doesn't help that Fitzgerald has a good half a foot on him, and both of his TDs were jump balls. Besides, I don't think anyone out there can cover him one on one, like Finnegan was supposed to. Plus, he wasnt his normal chippy self because it was the Pro Bowl. Griffin played well though, he had a couple big tackles.

Probably about half a year. I quit the hobby a couple years ago, when I figured out that all my baseball stuff was nearly worthless (and when the Braves started tanking). Got back into this year with football, at first I just kinda collecting anything from the Titans, but I found my niche with Griffin and Finnegan. I do have a couple of side PCs (Lavelle Hawkins, Kearse, VY, CJ) but I don't do much with them anymore. But I digress...

And thanks for the offer, but I have the Threads auto /200.

Thanks man!

It's not that hard as long as you do the legwork. I try to scan eBay listings once a day, and I look for any cards I need on SCF and TCC. It is kinda disheartening to see the same stuff cycle through eBay, and have people constantly tell you that they have nothing. Griffin actually has a good bit of stuff I still need though, it's not the same story for Finnegan though. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Rhody_Red_Pats Mar 24 2009, 09:34 AM

Nice adds Will! I like that dual with Meriweather. Though I prefer Griffin's oval-y sig to that more normal looking one.
