Welcome to the SCF Football Super Collector Hall of Fame Forums
To become a Super Collector Hall of Famer, you must provide the numbers and breakdown of your collection and meet the following requirements for the classification you are applying. Post a reply in this thread (http://www.sportscardforum.com/showthread.php?t=632787) meeting the following criteria, and you will be considered for Super Collector status.
Player Collection Applications
To apply for and reach Player Collection Super Collector status, applicants must meet all 5 requirements or 1 of the exceptions in order to be accepted. These numbers are set high for a reason.
1st Requirement- Percentage Owned
Based on the amount of cards produced of a given player, you must provide the amount produced along with how many you have. For example using the chart below. If I collect Steve Young, and he has 1799 cards. I need to have 50% of those cards. So I must have at least 899.
Quantity produced / % you must have (changed %'s)
Your player must have 200 cards produced of him to be eligible, as players with low production runs may be too easy to obtain, for previously entered members, they are Grand-fathered in.
200-250- 90%
251-500 - 75%
501-750 - 60%
751-1000 - 50%
1001-1500 - 45%
1501+ - 40%
2nd Requirement- Auto/GU Owned
Must have at least 15% of auto/gu the player has produced.
3rd Requirement- Rookies Owned
Must have at least 60 rookie cards can be rookie of any level base, insert, gu, auto. In cases of a rookie having limited amounts of cards produced, we will accept exceptions on this, on a case by case basis. However if your player has a significant amount of rookies more then 60, do not expect to be given an exception.
4th Requirement- Not too much Base Owned
Base cards cannot be more then 60% of entire collection.
5th Requirement- Proof
We will need to see pictures, so please link your photobucket or website. If you are a Super Collector, we assume you would want to show your collection off! Let's see it! You should have the better portion of your Autos and Jerseys pictured at the very least. General pictures of binders or cases with base are acceptable.
6th Requirement- Post Count
You must have 300 posts on SCF or more to apply, those already in are exempt, but too many people are coming and posting with a handful of threads and never return.
Exceptions
These 5 requirements may not be entirely possible in every case, depending on your collector style. We realize everyone collects a little differently. Here are 2 exceptions to consider. If you are applying via one of the Exceptions, please explain which one and give us enough info.
#1- Too Many Cards Produced Exception. If the player collect has entirely too many cards produced of him, we will consider an exception. If you own 2,000+ cards of a specific player, no more then 80% cannot be base/insert, you can apply through this exception. Therefore you need at least 400 Auto, GU/Memorabilia, Rookie, 1/1. Provide info.
#2- High-End Collector Exception. If you do not collect all cards of a certain player and maybe just collect Autos or Patches of a certain player, we will allow those with a Book Value of $15,000+ (with at least 100 Cards of that Specific Player Minimum). 1/1's and no book value cards can act as $bv50, but no more. Provide info. While we do not see this as a true Super Collector by our definition, we realize everyone collects differet things for different reasons.
Set Collection Applications must meet the following
To apply for and reach Set Super Collector status, you have a few ways of entering.
#1- Completed Master Set
If you have completed an entire master set, (this means having the entire set, and 1 level of inserts and parallels). We will not accept master sets that have under 200 cards in quantity, or that do not have various insert/parallel sets. In addition, a complete checklist must be submitted, as well as pictures featuring more prominent cards.
#2- Multiple Year Collectors
If you are loyal to a specific brand and collect multiple sets of a current brand, you may also be eligible to apply for Super Collector Status. Purchasing boxed sets do not apply. 4 years or more are the minimum requirement of complete sets of base/rookie sets of a particular brand to apply. For example, if a member wants to apply to be a SPx Super Collector. They must have at least 4 years of Base/Rookie sets completed to be considered. Checklists are required, as well as pictures of the sets.
*All Set Collectors are subject to Football Team approval, we reserve the right to accept or reject any entries if we will for whatever reason the set is to easy to complete or their are certain parallels preventing total completion.
Team Collection Applications must meet the following
To apply for and reach Team Super Collector status, applications must meet the following requirements.
1st Requirement- Must have 5,000+ cards of a specific team (NFL or College). Requires at least 500 GU/Auto. You must have at least 1,500 Auto/GU/Rookie/1of1.
2nd Requirement- Memorabilia/Non Sportscard Pieces. True team collector applicants should be so diehard, that they have other aspects to their collection outside of sports cards. You must provide pictures of at least 10 pieces of Memorabilia/Non Sportscard items of the team you are applying.
3rd Requirement- Proof. We will need to see pictures, so please link your photobucket or website. If you are a Super Collector, we assume you would want to show your collection off! Let's see it! You should have the better portion of your Autos and Jerseys pictured at the very least. General pictures of binders or cases with base are acceptable.
Restrictions
With all of these ways of becoming a Super Collector, we do have some restrictions before you can be accepted.
#1- You, the member, must be in good standing with SCF. Must Send First members will have a hard time achieving this status unless you are new to the site. Stay in good standing on SCF to enjoy all the perks we have to offer.
#2- If applying for a player collection, your player must have completed his rookie season, and 2nd season of cards must be started to be produced.
Final Comments
We realize these requirements are a lot, and hard to reach. We also realize everyone has different budgets to put into their card collections, as well as depending where you are in your life the amount of time you can put into a collection. We also feel that getting a list and knowing the information we are asking should be something a Super Collector should be seeking to know about their collection anyway. If you do not meet these numbers, it does not mean you aren't a great collector of that player/team/set. However, we have set these numbers to be a challenge to reach, and so that not anyone can get the title of Super Collector. Complaining about not being accepted will not make it easier to be accepted in the future.
The General Manager of the site and the Football team will decide on all applications.
General posts will not be accepted, give us the information we ask for, or you will not accepted
You may re-apply if you are denied. However, if you are denied, you are not able to re-apply until a month after you were denied. Build your collection bigger and better and come back! This is not a title we are going to be giving out, if you are denied, you are denied. Sending PM's declaring why you think you are a super collector, or simply because you have the best collector of that player you are aware of do not mean anything. Enjoy and Have Fun with this!
Lastly, if you give incorrect numbers to the point of blatantly lying or copy images from others, you will be suspended and/or banned.
*I reserve the right to waive any requirements if a significant enough reason is provided to bypass any requirement. PM's welcome.
