Hey guys and gals, What UP?! My name is Tommy Lee and I joined back in December, but didn't know I was a registered user until tonite. I am a regular member of TCC and I am building the 2008 Leaf Limited Football Master Set. I don't have much to trade right now cause I traded it all for these cards on TCC, but I am always buying, so let me know what you have. I usually collect football HOFers, Higher End Rookies, CP3, Rajon Rondo, Prewar Baseball GU and stuff like that. I mainly collect Patch/Autos now also. I am a hugh Patch fan and love anything that looks super cool. My wife is a member on TCC and may come on here when she gets back into collecting. We have 2 kids, so our time is limited. I live in Ohio, but am an across the board Boston Fan. Actually, not the Bruins cause I can't stand Hockey. I've been collecting since I was like 5, but I took a long break off while I was finishing high school until I was 25. I'm 28 now and back in the swing of things. Also, I hate Upper Deck even though I buy their cards. I think that they do a hugh disservice to the collecting community and if their cards weren't normally so valuable, then I definitely wouldn't collect their cards. I only hope Pannini comes out with stellar cards and service and eventually buys UD so we can all start enjoying breaking boxes instead of worrying about shorted hits and multiple redemptions. Ok, can you imagine buying a 200 dollar box and having to wait months to enjoy the good cards? How does that make sense? And don't get me started when they don't have it in stock! I hope I get to know everyone on here. I'm really laid back but talk crazy about the hobby and the manufactures cause they should know better. Take care and hit me up even if it's just to say, "What up cousin?" Later :cool:
 
Thanks for the welcome from everyone. Yes, it's going to take a very long time to complete it. I'm not going to try to build the 1/1's, besides the ones that complete a section. Example: the Leaf Limited Cuts has 1 1/1, so I will be trying to secure that, but I'd never complete the Platinum Spotlight which is all 1/1's. Right now I have about 130 GU/Autos and about 500 inserts/parallels. I have 6/25 of the cut autos and I'm working hard to try to secure the rest. Most of the major ones are out of the way besides the 1/1 Norm Van Brocklin and two that are numbered /3. I can probably secure another 5 of the cut autos for around 200-250, so I'll do that when I get a free second. I really want to try to work on the Letterman, of which I have 1/40 on that and will really need some cash to secure all of them. I have not started to collect the Rookie Base Patch/Auto cards yet and will slowly work my way through that. OR...I might just get sick of looking at them and sell the lot LOL. I'm trying to stay focused though and work slowly so I don't tire out. If I get a second, I'll post up a list of what I still need. Thanks guys, TL :cool:
 
Thank you all for your warm welcome. I don't have a ton of time to hang out and post, but I will make sure to respond to everyone when I do get a chance. Thanks for all your support too, Moosehead, it's going to be a long journey. :cool:
