[MadColtsFan]

NYGiants72 - PM me if you are interested in a 'lot' of various Rookie Ticket Giants. Nobody big so pretty cheap. The lot does include 3 Terrell Thomas Super Short Print runs around 100 to 130 or so.

He was cut or released I thought, so not a bear at this time.

Edit: Wiki says he is a Titan now.

He was def not on the team this past year even if he was I wouldn't touch it. Hanies contender was sellin high to at one point. Boy they can sure draft QBs can't they

Please let's keep this as a speculation of 2012 Contenders Chat, no trying to move any product to others here please. PM someone if you think they may be interested.

I am ready for the product to hit shelves.
Any speculation on how many Redemtions are going to be in the product this year?
I would bet LaMichael James, Justin Blackmon, Bryce Brown and Russell Wilson, who else has been in a lot of Panini redemptions this year? Is Alfred Morris on redemption in some product also? Also does anyone know of any players refusing to sign such as Julio Jones, so that I don't get stuck redeeming something that won't ever get signed?

That's the word I keep hearing, I don't have any solid authority that I've ever seen verify that though. From what I've heard and read is that he isn't honoring his contract because he wants more money to finish signing, from what I can tell nothing has been seen live since he decided that. I have a couple of his redeemed from last year, I'm hoping to get another Heath Miller, non-numbered non-rookie auto for it like I did the last time a redemption didn't come through.

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. Maybe him then.

I am a Colts fan and a collector of these cards. I hope T.Y. Hilton is not SSP. That would be a big hit to me because I expect Luck to be short printed or they could do a rookie photo shoot variation again. Last year, was an anomoly with the photo shopped variations. The prior year Blair White was short printed to 75. My point is short prints make collecting a team more difficult if not ridiculous. I heard a Cowboy collector get bummed that Tyron Smith was limited to 23. It knocked this guy out of collecting his team.
I love the comprehensive nature of this set but I also find the relatively high rookie ticket hit rates per box to yield a lot of commons. Then you throw in super short prints with bust players. Just look at Ronald Johnson for the niners. Great player at USC in college but got cut in training camp.

I don't mean to boast. I own the highest POP Blaire White BGS 10/10. That gives me a little vindication for the work I put into posessing my very own Blaire White card and possessing the fortitude to have it graded. Afterall, sometimes your intentions produce unintended nice consequences.


Plus why change the Championship Ticket to the Front Row Ticket?

I see them going with the same model as last year and not completely SPing the major "on-card" rookies. Probably another variation...but hopefully a full photo variation this time and not some intern showing of his photoshop skills like last year's travesty. In 5 year will anyone care whether there is a "Ridell" missing on Cam's helmet? It will fetch some premium, but not that of a truly different card.
