    Who do I invest in?

    I'm new to collecting and I only have 15 cards.

    Who is a good buy?

    I know I can't go wrong with Favre, Brady, Peyton, or Roethlisberger

    Would L.T. be a good buy?

    Who else?

    LT is relatively cheap right now compared to the past and isn't a bad idea.. The best thing to do is pick a good rookie with upside from your favorite team/college. Also for investments SP Authentic patch rookies and Exquisite and contenders are always "must have" cards of any hot rookie.

    No name players' cards from good sets like Contenders, Exquisite, SP Authentic, etc. Cards like that don't have much room to go down, plenty of room to go up.

    Go with UD Black when it is released. That is a very high end product.
    As for players I'd go with Eli Manning, Knowshon Moreno, and possibly Matthew Stafford.

    Well cards are the best thing to invset in, i would pick a high end rookie who has upside...

    For example im collecting Josh Johnson over about a year Ive got 45 different autos, ExQ, NT, SPA, 1/1, Nameplate, 6/6 auto, etc...He fairly cheap and I enjoy collecting a home town player..

    Card collecting for me is not an investment.. I just like to do it as a hobby. I collect Penn State players and I could care less if my cards are worth a cent or a trillion dollars. I just do it for fun

    right now i think you need to look at teams that could go deep in the playoffs for investments cause there cards always go up. Guys like chris wells on arizona, ryan grant on the packers, matt forte on the bears, santonio holmes, steve slaton even though houston isnt a contender yet

    whatever you do, do NOT follow this advice! after living in houston AND charlotte i can say he's one of the worst QBs i've seen play in the NFL recently.
