I've been a bit off the radar lately. I didn't pursue many sets this past season. I wasn't impressed with most products even though the rookie class wasn't that bad. I wasn't going o do this set because I didn't like the overall design. I picked up the Cam Newton and a few others and before I knew it, I was hooked.

I like the on-card autos this year. The emerald set looks a little better than the gold, I think. Unfortunately, these have been difficult to come by. There is another collector on the BO site who I've talked with who is also doing the same set. We seem to be missing some of the same players, so the hunt and competition are on. LOL.

My 20th card came yesterday. I think there are 36 in the set. I've got most of the tough ones out of the way. If you have any you might part with, let me know. Any I can't find I will chase in the Gold or even the Black set. If I don't complete the set, I'll at least have one on-card auto of each player from the Freshman Fabric set.

One final note. The Delone Carter and Ryan Williams were both redemptions sent to me from Panni. They are probably the weakest looking card I have. I will up grade if I can find at least a 2 color patch. Probably will just have to settle for what I have since since they are only numbered to 5.

I'll keep you updated with any additions.

Awesomeness as usual Mel...........but uh............wait I don't see a Baldwin. One thing I will give the 2011 set over the 2010 set is at least the players aren't just standing there.

Wow that is a thing of beauty Mel. Just some awesome looking cards for sure, good luck on the remaining ones!

Love the look of this particular set, something about the green definitely adds to the card. Best of luck finding the remaining few. I'll keep a look out in my neck of woods for ya.

Thanks. I bought a Randall Cobb about 2 weeks ago that you might like. I'm still waiting on the seller to ship it....

Thanks. I'm waiting on a card from a set from 2010 to come in. It's a set that hasn't seen the light of day in about a year. I'll post that set next week.

I have a second that I was hoping to hold to trade for another I might need. If I don't, you and I can work something out.

I'm still looking for that Baldwin. I wasn't a fan of the all white background at first. Now I see it helps the multicolored pieces really standout.
