Certified and Contenders are my two favorite brands from this year.

Don't have much from 2011 except some Sterling, Contenders and Elite.

I've always been kind of luke-warm on Absolute, but I'm liking the look of them this year especially w/ the on card autos. I haven't heard anything about Benson being resigned or signing elsewhere, I hope he comes back this season him and Green-Ellis could make a pretty respectable backfield.

I honestly can't even recall what last years contenders look like but the rookie tickets are looking classy this year real clean.

Collinsfanatic- I didn't even see any Bowman Sterling until just the other day, seriously. But I love I mean LOVE the look of those this year! That horizontal design and those patches, they just look great! Best looking cards I've seen in awhile I think Topps nailed that one. Big Giants fan I see, I am admiring those Mannings you got there great patches! Aspirations looking good again. Nice post man, really can't get over how good all those Sterlings look together.

There we go, I never collect any "newer" guys so I can hardly keep up w/ what the rookies look like from year to year.

Thanks bud those Pulsar refractors were pretty hard to track down. This is the best year of Sterling that I can remember as far as looks go.

As far as the Contenders go I collect the Giants so I have all years of Contenders since they did autos. Only need a few more Manning, Tyree, Nicks, Cruz, Ballard if he signs and Jacquian Williams if he ever signs as well.

Personally, I think Benson was OK when he was here, He got yards but never got the good TDs. He is getting to be older too. I think it would be a smarter decision to get a younger guy like Chris Polk in the draft to pair with BJGE.

I LOVE certified this year!! I bought six boxes & only had one real crappy box. Sweet design, love the FOTG's & the rookies FINALLY have on-card auto's!
