So I did something kind of stupid today. I bought a box of Prime to open, despite not being specifically a football card fan. I'll get some Brady or Manning stuff at a garage sale sometimes, but I'm not much into opening football cards.
Why now? A few reasons. I'd like to get my 100/1000 in for my page on The Bench. I'd also like to see if I can manage to trade all or most of the box. I'd also like to find the traders here who I would like to deal with in the future on the NFL side.
I'm primarily an MLB HOF (present or future) collector, especially regardingvariations/serial numbered cards. But I doubt I'll get a HOF Diamond card for a Seahawks base card. I know.
I'm somewhat trying to put together some of the four guys that I've had on my keeper fantasy football team since they turned pro (Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, Jay Cutler, and Adrian Peterson), so if you have serial numbered/variations of one of them, that's cool too.
If everything else falls through, I'd consider HOF Inserts and the like, but I'd really prefer one of the variations, even if it's of a lesser player. Particularly for a base card. I do have some base (or low-end inserts) from garage sales of Brady, Manning, Rodgers, etc. If you would make it worth a stamp, let me know and I'll post them in the morning.
One caveat before I start. I drafted Andy Dalton, Adriel Jeremiah Green, and DeMarco Murray for this season (we start 2 QBs and get to keep one rookie above our 6 man freeze limit), so I might be tempted to keep good stuff of theirs. For anything else, post below, or PM me an offer. MLB HOF>>>>the 7 guys on my team I'm collecting>>>>Generic Diamond cards and the like.

That, ladies and gentlemen, was hideous. Nice looking cards, I guess. But the sameness channels the late 80' Score sets. If I hadn't already written this, 3/4 might go curbside on Thursday. I said it was stupid. Well, my community will enjoy the tax money.
