Rookie Card and Florida Gators PC

[McCallum12]

I went through and looked at all of Swiggy56's Seahawks collection and how he added over time. It's an awesome collection and a fun thread to read through, so I figured I would try and do one. My cards won't be near as good as his, but hopefully there will be a few over time!

I love collecting Rookie Cards and my favorite team is the Florida Gators. I always put the RCs of the big names in sleeves and top loaders, and the unknowns in my white cardboard boxes. My favorite part is going back through my cardboard boxes every couple of years and seeing if I pulled any RCs of guys who were no names at first, but ended up being great in the league. I just started trying to collect more cards of players in their Gator uniform. With Panini's creation of the Draft Picks brands, its going to be fun. I like the Gator cards to also be RCs so it fits both collections, but we'll see how that goes.

It's fun trying to balance getting the new players coming into league, and trying to fill the backlog of the HoF and older greats RCs with a small budget. It keeps things interesting and entertaining for me.

I'll start it off with my favorite 3 RCs:

1991 Stadium Club Brett Favre - 1998 Bowman Peyton Manning - 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady

These 3 are my favorite because I pulled these from packs myself. I'm also from MS, so Favre and Manning are legends around these parts. I grew up watching those 2 play every Sunday, and actually saw Peyton play in person when he was at UT. The Manning rc is the one that got it all started. I was at the Local card shop with my Step dad and brother, and he let us each pick 2 packs to buy. The Manning was in the first pack I opened. I screamed out loud and was jumping up and down when I saw it. Couldn't believe it. The card store owner offered me $50 for it right there, but I wasn't letting that thing go, so he gave me the sleeve and top loader its in to this day.

I will try to post every couple of days until I get my collection to present day. I have done a couple box breaks here with bcool022 and got a few cards off comc, so I will mix in my Mail Day PC cards and box breaks I do. Thanks!

I had a nice mail day yesterday. I received my cards from one of the group breaks ran by bcool22. We opened around 5 diff boxes. He had NFC, while I took AFC. It was a great break for AFC:

2018 Luminance Vintage Andre Reed jersey - 2017 Panini Contenders Optic Rookie Ticket Auto Red James Connor Ser #'d 23/75 - 2016 Panini Infinity Myriad Marks Blake Bortles Auto
2018 Luminance Rookie Ink Auto Nick Chubb Ser #'d 001/225 - 2018 Luminance Rookie Ink Auto Mark Walton Ser #'d 197/249 - 2017 Limited Quad Auto Christian Okoye/Marcus Allen/Jamaal Charles/Priest Holmes Ser #'d 7/10

The Quad auto is probably the biggest hit I've been lucky enough to pull. Couldn't believe it when I watched the video of the break! None of these are PC, but will be used to help add more hopefully. I have a couple more mail days coming in the next week that will add some great cards to my PC.

Busted 3 boxes of 2017 Panini Elite Draft Picks today! 15 Autos, nothing amazing, but a couple decent ones i think! None of the Auto's are PC, but I got a lot of the base RCs i needed from 2017.

Mail day from COMC came in today! I was able to get some pretty good deals for RC and Gator PC. A little Father/Son Gator addition!

NICE! I love that Jake Butt autograph. As a Wolverine fan I prefer seeing players pictured in their college uniform as opposed to their NFL uniform.
