Hello Everyone,

I've been on here in the past, but it's been some time, I transitioned my collection to full game used items, but have sometime ago changed back as I found that even though the items that I was obtaining were cooler and nicer, I just did not get as much enjoyment out of it like I did cards. Reason #1, the items are more expensive and they come a lot less frequently.

So with that being said, I have gone back to cards. In the past I've worked on sets and done some on and off player collecting, but through it all I have worked on 2 main sets, 2003 Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket Set (This is where the people that have been on this forum for awhile may remember me from.) and 2003 Skybox LE Rare Form Jerseys - Base Style. So through my many sell offs of my collection, I have kept every single one of those cards from both of those sets that I have ever owned.

Either way, the reason that I have come to work on this 2003 Football Master Set and will continue to focus strictly on this, likely forever, is that the 2003 year was the year that I honestly would have to say I had the most fun collecting cards. There was a great rookie crop, Palmer, Leftwich, Grossman at QB, Andre Johnson, Anquan Boldin, and Charles Rogers at WR, and Willis McGahee and Larry Johnson at RB. Not to mention the players that have come to stand out from that year in Tony Romo and Troy Polamalu.

But the ultimate reason that I enjoyed that year so much is because of the time that I was able to spend with my dad trying to build these sets, though I never completed any... always moving on to the next set once I got so close to completing one. And now since my dad passed a few years ago, it's more or less a way to keep connected.

So now with the background all out there, I'm going to start off this thread by posting a few of the cornerstones of my collection as of today, and I will keep updating it at least on a weekly basis with some of the key additions of the week or day.

(As of today, there are over 8,900 unique cards from this year in the collection.)

Oh and as always, if you have any cards that you have that you do not see in my photobucket (which is updated every 2-3 days) and you are looking to move please send me a message on here, and hopefully we can work something out.
