No picture - but I hand collected the 2008 bowman set
Big set - sitting in a binder somewhere.
It got me back into set building - was going to try nd complete 2009 Allen and Ginter - then the price and time got in the way

RE: Bored...**YAWN**...SHOW ME YOUR COMPLETED SETS OF 50 CARDS OR MORE
There are a number of set builders still out there. They tend to be a little older and less impressed by the dazzling and shiny new cards. I'm not that old, however I loved the base card set for 2008 and 2009 Exquisite. Everyone was chasing the RPAs and ignored these cards. They were more like inserts to some so I got them dirt cheap. I've gone back and started working on the 2007 base set.
I do like the unique also, and therefore the Certified Freshman Fabric Gold and Emerald sets. This year, other than on card autos, the set lost some of it's luster.
I did the 2011 Fabric of the Game Prime auto set. The problem with the set is there are a few #/5 and a 1/1. I have most but it stinks to have to pay a lot for players like Peyton Hillis because there are only 5. Also, only 5 or less people can do the set. I see why people shy away from these sets.
The Exquisite base sets are in my photo bucket.

I am attempting the 2010 Gridiron Kings. There are 49 cards in the set. I have base and /100 completed. I need 9 from the /50 and 14 in the /25.
It is hard to complete because 2010 Panini Threads is crap lol It also kills me that I paid BV for most of the #ed stuff at the beginning and now you can get them for literally $1. By comparison to most of your guys' sets, it's not great, but I am enjoying the hunt. Just can't pull the trigger on even some of the low end autos
Currently trying to build 2010 Gridiron Kings
I collect Steve Young, Manny Lawson, Roger Craig and most things Niners.

I have a lot of 50-100 card sets you can get from busting a box like Press Pass or Gridiron Gear base, but I do have 2 sets I am really proud I completed...
1) 2007/2008 Topps Chrome Brett Favre Collection. 442 Chrome cards celebrating each TD up to number 442 (even though he ended up with 508). It took a long while to complete that one. And,
2)
