first off, welcome! second, your totally screwed because collecting is a lot of fun and you will get addicted. but there really arent a lot of card companies anymore. theres really only topps and panini now making nfl cards. upper deck now makes college ones along with sage and such. you should just collect whatever your favorite team or player is. just make sure you have fun doing it. make sure to do your research on cards before somebody goes out and tries to mess you over on a price or something though. good luck!
