Yeah, been reading that one for a few months..Caught it after about the 5-6th player he did, the Sporting News actually puts these on their website...He does some real nice write-ups, but I don't typically like the endings...lol

BTW..If you havent noticed Jamal Lewis playing tonight is exactly 95 yards from reaching 10,000 in which case he'll be headed to the All-Time Rushers set...
Maybe tonight!

Dunn passed 10K last year along with Fred Taylor and was added to the Rushers set back then...
Hey, was I #5000???? Sweeettt....Didn't even notice...
2 years, its been quite a thread..We are quickly approaching year 6 anniversary of this set being created....We've come a long way, and it's been a blast! All we can hope for are 6 more just as good...lol

I finally got a chance to listen to it. I would love to take Jon up on his offer to visit his safety deposit box......I would make it worth my while and bring my scanner with me to get all those beauties scanned... Those scans need to be available for all to see!!!
Glad to hear a shout out to Jason and "that Largent collector"
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
Players to note on the Pro Bowl Rosters, as you will see their names again when we vote on the Future HOF-Modern additions next month..
Brian Dawkins-7th Pro Bowl Kevin Mawae- 7th Pro Bowl Steve Hutchinson- 6th Pro Bowl Chris Samuels- 6th Pro Bowl

Well, half way there anyway
Great radio show, thanks for posting the link for us jason. I listened to it tonight, very cool. Jon is obviously a very humble guy, it was very cool to hear him give shout outs to the guys on the boards, Mint State, Jason, etc. Talk about great advertising for the radio program as well, hundreds of registry guys visiting their website, downloading old programs. They should interview registry guys more often.
As far as the future HOF RC set goes, here is a list of possible candidates I recommend that arent also currently in a decades set as well (Cortez kennedy, etc) Some of these are long shots, so not sure if everyone wants them added to the registry or not. I guess thats why we vote.
Name. 1st team all pro/ 2nd team all pro/ Pro bowls Ed Reed. 3/0/4 Chad Johnson. 2/2/5 (Already has a custom made yellow jacket that fits nicely) Jason Taylor. 3/2/6 Brian Dawkins. 4/1/6 Ronde Barber. 3/2/4 (although he sure got stiffarmed a few times last sunday by ex Oregon Duck Jonathan Stewart) kevin Mawae. 2/5/6 Chris Doleman. 2/4/8 Deron Cherry. 4/3/6
Joe, many of those you have listed will be up for vote in a few weeks when we do our annual Futre HOF Modern Set additions.
Anyone that I don't put on the ballot, you can certainly add to the ballot yourself.
We still have to wait for the All-Pro selections for this year which will happen after the end of the season in early Jan. Once we have those, we can do the vote.
The names you listed are definitely guys to start thinking about, Need to see who makes the all-pro list first. Getting the Pro Bowl names yesterday gives a pretty good picture of who the All-Pro's might be. I know for sure that Deron Cherry won't be in the inital list of names I submit here for a vote. In fact, I will probably put At-water to vote for deletion. Neither have ever made the final 25 in 5+ tries, and I'm not sure how we can consider them future HOFers if they aren;t even getting close. On the other hand, guys like Charles Haley, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy have made the final 25 multiple times and seem to be in line before At-water or Cherry yet we havent added them yet.
But hey, this is a democracy, and whoever gets the votes here, we will submit to PSA as it will be ver likely that they will get the votes needed when the poll is sent out. Jason

Sounds like you have a great collection. Please check out www.sportcollectorsdisplay.com Feel free to list your best items. It only takes a few minutes.
Well, I finally did it!!!!! After about 6 years of plugging away on this set, I have finally finished this set. I just added a PSA 3 Jim Thorpe. Although it is not the prettiest PSA 3, it will do for now. My goal was to finish by the end of the year and I did it with 2 weeks to spare!!
I've definalty come a long way and I have many of you to thank in helping me get to 100%
I am not sure what my next step is. I will probably start upgrading some of the cards by picking some off ebay. I just can't see my self selling this set anytime soon. Hopefully I will be able to hand this down to my boys years down the road. I have also thought about...
1. Picking up pre-rookie cards from the HOF'ers 2. Starting a 48 leaf set 3. Starting a 35 Chicle set
Who knows what the future will bring.... I hope everyone here has a great holiday season....I know I will
Congrats, Dave!!!!! I have been holding on to my money right now, so I haven't plugged any holes lately. I work @ an auto manufacturing plant (luckily it is Toyota) so I feel safe about my job, but you never know so I just watch everyone else upgrade for now. congrats again Vince

I want to wish everyone a happy holidays and a xmas to those who celebrate it.
I think that steve largent guy collects all FB cards. I know he likes the ones I bid on and seem to lose. lol
Does anyone know the rc'sthat most likely would be in the psa reg set for the gus jason mentioned? they now have 6-7 pobowls and now considered for vote into the modern set. I believe hutchenson was one of them. Dawkins is the finest???

Happy holidays to all, hope everone is getting by with the weather. Power in NW Indiana was out all night 1/2" of ice. Thankfully it warmed up to 36 today!
Happy Holidays to all of you guys and your families and a safe New Year!
On a personal note I'd like to mention that my wife and I are expecting a son in late May, it's our first!! Although my card buying will now taper off a bit, I'll still be lurking in the background to upgrade some cards!
Joe - You should have bet Jasen the Vikings would thump the hapless (we play in the NFC West, how could we not win) division. I mean, Seattle? San Fran? St Louis? At least the Cardinals have some semblance of talent on both sides of the ball. But really, all they had to do was beat those three teams twice? Hmph. They let T Jack come in and throw 4 TD's on them. I don't think he had 4 TD's last season! Ah well at least he isn't a die hard Seattle fan or something.
Dave - Congrats on completing the set! A great accomplishment! One I wish I had. You should be proud.

Super Bowl XXVIII: Buffalo Bills vs Dallas Cowboys - Running back Emmitt Smith rushed for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns earning Super Bowl MVP honors as the Cowboys defeated the Bills 30-13 to win their second consecutive NFL title.
Jamal Lewis went over 10,000 career yards today. Look for him to be added to the All-Time Rushers set. Not sure if PSA will send out as poll or not, my guess they will.

I finally have found all my Colts interview tapes that I told you I would give you. I found Lenny Moore x 2, Tom Matte, Art Donovan, Bucky Levine (Colts Pharacist) x 2, Jim Parker, Gino Marchetti and Lucy Ewbank (wife). None of the interviews have been heard by anyone other then me.
PM me your address and I will have them on your way sometime soon (holiday forgiveness). All are on cassette tape. You mentioned transferring them to CD, if possible, I would like copies of the CDs for my records.

I hope everyone here had a Merry Christmas. What is the coolest sports-related gift you received? Post your answers here, I'm interested to see what people got. Any get a key card they needed for this set? I got Cardinals playoff tix and a foam Cardinal head to wear to the game.
As a combined Christmas/Graduation present I got a pair of University of Illinois Football season tickets. My son got this cool football player guy/action figure that kicks foam footballs for field goals when you smack him on the head. He's too young to get it, but I had a lot of fun. It launches the footballs a pretty good distance.
I picked this up for my set. Was listed as 1951 rather than 52.
