You have an awesome collection and a well put together site. Can I offer a suggestion : change the font from cursive to something easier to read - I had a hard time with some of the descriptions. Very nice, though!
Good stuff guys! For my site I was limited to 6 fonts styles, so I chose Comic Sans because it's a thin, condensed font. I was ending up with too many broken words using the other fonts. Image Event is nice but they could use some new font selections.
Here is some of my Football Collection. Im doing a 55 and 57 Topps Set and have a run of 1969 to 1990 complete sets.
Just about half way on the 55 Set. I focus more on nice centered eye appealing cards more so than the grades.
Like the 55 set Ive been working on a 57 Topps football set as well. While I do a couple graded sets, The large majority of my collection is Raw, The way it was meant to be and the way I prefer it. My focus on the 57 set was again Centering and eye appealing cards in the EXMT- NM- NM-MT. I still need about 37 cards including: YA Tittle, Tommy MacDonald, Earl Morrell, Nighttrain Lane, Lou Groza, Leo Nomellini, being the biggest ones.
I do have a complete 1960 Topps Set, But I don't have any scans of it yet. SO.... I will be back to update once I get some scans.
I am slowly getting rid of everything other than the 2 main sets on which I'm now focused - 2003 Press Pass football and 2001 Pacific Atomic Patch Variations. I know, modern shiny stuff Anyway, I did an animated gif of the patch set:
Cool Animated cards Tabe! While my first love will always be 70's Football. Its hard to resist some of the "Shiny Modern stuff" The one that always lures me is the 1991 Upperdeck set. It's parcially responsible for the crazy out of control "Shiny" chase card stuff we see today.
Beautiful design, Spectacular photography(Front & Back) Just the right amount of chase cards with the Montana Heroes and the Game Breaker Holograms.
I think its still one of the best modern sets of the last 20 years. Even with all its Innovations, it still manages to hold a nostalgic old time feel somehow to me.
Yes it does contain the Brett Favre Rookie, But my favorite card in the set is Emmitt Smith. With out question the Best card of Emmitts career.

I need, I think, 20 more to complete the set.
