Card Collecting (NFL)

[Interceptor]

I do, since 1992. Collect because you love to collect, not because you think it will be worth something later on.

I used to buy packs, but now just collect singles because pack-busting will most likely leave you with a clutter you don't want.

But choose what you do for collecting:
- set builder
- team set builder/team collector
- player collector
- type collector
These are just a few to give you ideas.

I usually shop on eBay. Panini seems to have come to the forefront of brands. I would avoid sticker autographs - those do not look right and should not be in the hobby. Sell them off every chance you get. On-card/hard-signed autographs are a different story.

If you are starting over, I recommend buying singles. It saves you the clutter yet you have something you want. It's better to have one great item than several of mediocre ones.

I'm glad there is someone to talk shop with now.
