Also your thoughts on his return? I haven’t heard much since his botched open try out thing but if I was a betting man (which I’m not). I say he will never play in the NFL again at this point. It’s just been too long and I don’t think the interest in him is there.

Last January I seriously considered being a Kaepernick Super Collector. While adding the cards I have to two different databases/checklists, I found both to be incomplete, so I stopped. Maybe down the road (when I have more freetime on my hands) I'll try to combine checklists or something. Knowing the % so far would be nice though. While typing this, I just thought of a way to get a "rough" idea of the percentage.

As far as my thoughts on Kaepernick returning, I can talk to you about that via private message if you want.

Just did the rough estimate.... 4.26%!

4.26%?? How many does that translate to? I’m sure he has tons of cards even given that he had a short career.... Just checked Becket and they show just shy of 3500 cards. AMAZING to think about.

By comparison I collect Mike Singletary who who retired in 1992 and during the end of his playing years there where about four card manufacturers and in his last years the card industry exploded and he had lots more. Currently, Beckett list around 2,000 cards of his. I have already mentioned they still release around 200 cards a year of him and my list is always growing. There is probably 10x more cards released after he retired than during his playing years and that is probably grossly under estimated. Right now I am at 59% of all his cards. Well within the forums rules of Super Collector.

yes please PM me. I’d sincerely like to hear your thoughts on his return to the NFL.

Yep, 4.26%. That's 147 total cards. For the time he played, he does have quite a bit! I officially started to PC him in September 2018. Overall, its been cool and for the most part relaxing. It's strictly a hobby for me. Mike Singletary was a ferocious linebacker. His eyes at the line of scrimmage was intense!!!! The awesome part is you can look forward to new content every year to build that PC! For example,If you don't already have a shield of his, you have a chance to get one in the future. Congrats on already being eligible for Super Collector status! Any chance you will be making it official?

Well its not that simple. The only super collector requirement I currently have is the collection. No rush. I’m new to this forum and need to pay my dues. I like it here and don’t plan on going away anytime soon. I only wish I found it years ago.

I don’t have a home computer and do everything tech wise from my phone and need to figure out how to “show off” the cards I have. I recently signed up for a FlickR account and am learning how to use it. Photobucket is too expensive for me but was a format I used years ago with different forums. Getting my required post count up will come with time and another thing I am not worried about and view it as becoming a part of this forum. To me marking the Super Collector HOF will be an awesome accomplishment to help verify/justify my collection. I tried to explain what it meant to me to my wife and got some eye rolls from her.

Hahahaha! My wife tolerates my collecting too!

I agree, No rush. Why unnecessarily put pressure on yourself. This is a nice forum. It was my first forum. A seller on Ebay told me about this website after I bought a card from him. I'm sure you will enjoy it here too!
