We sold two cards to help fund this set. We sold Tom Brady and Steph Curry autograph jersey cards. That gave us $550 to see if we can put a dent in the checklist.

The pace will slow down. Right now we have funds from cards we have sold from our PC. We are trying to make the dollars stretch as far as possible. However, on this set there are just more than fifty people working on it then you have player collectors. So it is going to be tough to get steals on a lot of them.
The Curtis Martin is the best deal so far. We picked it up for $16 and the next one sold for $52.

The only project I've tried similar to this is to put the 2015 Stadium Club baseball gold auto set together. The set has 75 cards. The gold parallels are numbered /25. So far, I have 65 of the 75. Auction format has been the best in obtaining these. In my opinion, when a card comes up for auction, I would be willing to throw out a bit more than normal, just to secure the card because you will always end up paying more waiting for a BIN or OBO.

I plan to purchase a wall display that will hold as many of the cards as they produce. I do know #45 Doug Atkins passed away. They didn't release any new ones in Panini Contenders this week which has not happened the past two years. I have reached out to them to see if they will continue to produce them or end the set at 63 cards.
My thinking is they need to be uniform so I will probably have every card graded at some point. The alternative would be to have two different displays(graded and ungraded)but on the same wall. I can also let you know we have a few to add that came in the mail.

I just like the cards so much and have enjoyed chasing them down. I had to sell them to fund it. It has been worth it and has given me the opportunity to enjoy the chase.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

I have. But this project will slow down. They have only released 63 of the supposed 150 cards. So it will take several years to even fill out the checklist. I have talked to Panini and they assure me the set will be packed out over time. The good news is the majority of the high end cards have been released(Jim Brown and Bart Starr are two that have not).
I have a few sets in mind.
19867-87 Fleer set PSA 8 or better
1988-89 Fleer set PSA 9 or better
1997 Upper Deck Legends autograph set(169 cards)
2013 Topps Tier One baseball autograph set all /50
I plan to grade every card(BGS comes to my local show 2-27) in this current project set so all cards are holdered/uniform. Then I want to figure out how to display them properly. It's my favorite autograph set ever produced so I want to be able to enjoy them.

Hey, Vito thanks. I have done the flipping thing along time and never seen a modern set I like more. I will tell you I have some extras if you ever decide to make a run at it.

You can't go wrong with adding Aikman and Staubach. My two favorite quarterbacks. I love the look of these cards and your approach to collecting the set. You made a great collecting choice!

Each of his autographs has a pretty bad smear on them we have seen to date. This is the nicest we have found so we went with it. This card is my favorite one in the set due to the player and autograph sensitivity.

This one popped up for $49.99 BIN or BO during the day. I was a t a red light and just happen to check. That rush you feel when you see a new one you don't have is exhilarating.

Great set you've put together. Looking forward to seeing them all in the BGS holders. Hope you get 9.5/10's on all of them.
This set has two cards that have only been offered 3-5 times in over three years. The theory is that all 50 just weren't signed. The two cards are the James Lofton and Lance Alworth. Well, one popped up and he willing to list it a BIN so we didn't have to wait.
I need to update our progress and will do that soon but was so excited about this one I wanted to share. Here is the link. Spectra Unicorn lol
