I've owned all of them in a past collecting life, but I have to say that the outstanding NFL 100 show really does make me want to dive back in and re-acquire the golden oldies. You've got some great looking mid grades there!
Thanks, waiting patiently for the QB’s to be announced tonight. Prediction - Brady, Montana, Manning, Unitas, Elway, Favre, Graham, Marino, and 2 of the following 5 (Baugh, Brees, Rodgers, Staubach, Starr).
My favorite sport. Love collecting FB Rookies, and would welcome and display all those @PatsGuy5000 is showing us. My kind of cards and grades. Got a few pics handy I can share. My goal was to have the best PSA 2 Warfield ever lol
I am focusing on knocking out the all time great QBs and Super Bowl MVPs first but I have this set in my sites as well. Luckily I have a good bit of overlap between sets I am working on.
@hyperchipper09 you win on the Warfield
I think Starr gets in, I would like to see Brees in, but can’t argue Baugh.
No Bradshaw?
I think his stats (nearly equal TD/Int ratio) and that he was surrounded by stars may hurt. If they go on winning, he’s a lock with 4 Super Bowls.
It's been a great show. I think my favorite moment was when Collinsworth asked Belicheck how he knew so much about the older players? His reply was from collecting Football cards when he was a kid. Good stuff!
Glad to see some of the older guys getting recognition as well. Great show and discussion!
I am biased for Brees that being said you have to pick the best from each era and I think they did that.
It's a little sad for me to see Tarkenton not even in talks about the greats any longer. He was my favorite when I was a kid. I still remember Marino beating his career passing total. Now Fran isn't even top 10 any more.
Makes me wonder if a QB will ever break 6K in a season. Used to be 3K was a great year, now 5K is the standard.
He belongs in the discussions with the greats. Very hard to compare QB’s today from years ago. Have great respect for his professionalism and play for nearly 20 years!
I think if he had won a Super Bowl, his name would have been mentioned more with the greats (similar to Jim Kelly). I enjoyed watching him scramble as a youngster in that cold stadium.
I too remember when 3K was the standard. Things change though
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Well I am currently 8/10. Need to knock off a Baugh and Graham as well as upgrade my Favre in the near future.
Super nice! Need to dig into the safe and post more of mine!
I am missing Manning, brees and Brady so I can't post QB's
That is the nicest 2 Warfield I ever saw
1948-76 Topps FB Sets
FB & BB HOF Player sets
1948-1993 NY Yankee Team Sets
great project you have one here. great looking qb cards.
I need to get a nice looking Staubach in a psa 6. sevens and eights are out of my range probably.
@lwehlers I bought that one about a decade ago when it was about $400 for an 8
I know an eight is out for me. great card! montana is sweet also.
Mike, awesome cards! You know I’m jealous of your Brady, but the others are sweet too!

Thanks Danny boy
NFL 100 QBs...I think Starr got robbed
Tough to leave out several greats - Starr, Bradshaw, Aikman, Young, Rodgers, Brees, Tarkenton, etc.
I don't have many but I thought I would post a few of my Top 100.
