Recently got back in the hobby- sold everything years ago, EXCEPT my WI based stuff . - by-product of few players from UW making much impact in the NFL. The exceptions are JJ Watt (still need) and Wilson (just picked one up on ebay).

Somebody else mentioned issues with photobucket - having same issues, keep getting errors - will add as I can get them uploaded.

Melvin Gordon- #'d to 25 -getting to be a fan of inscription autos (excuse the grey on the sides -on protector) I think he is the best RB to come out of UW- none of them have made the transition to the NFL with much success.


Nick Toon - son of UW's Al Toon - # to 50 - really nice card (on its way from ebay)


Jared Abbrederis - #'d to 25 - I still think he has a chance, if he can stay healthy.


Chris Borland - #'d to 25 the injury was unfortunate. IMO the best defensive player for the Badgers since JJ Watt.

Russel Wilson #'d to 16 - This is the most I spent on a card since I got back in the hobby- low print run nice auto and card graded. (still waiting for on ebay)

Very cool stuff! Welcome back to the hobby!

Thanks

There's good and bad about being a UW fan. Not a ton of success from players at the next level - (bad). The prices for rare auto cards are reasonable. I'm a true fan and not flipping for profit so it works out pretty well. Makes a nice conversation piece in a display case.

I prefer players in their college uni (for this particular collection), but made an exception here.

Crossed off one of the big holes in my collection - JJ Watt.



1st I purchased a Sage Gold RC Auto #'d to 250 at a local card shop last week and a seller on ebay accepted my best offer - picked up this nice (MINT) Die- Cut Purple #'d to 5.

Thanks - I have some Packer Autos that you may be interested in- I will have to go through that stuff sometime this week and let you know (if your interested).

I'm pretty happy with the collection - I had wanted to get a Badger football card collection completed - The Russel Wilson and Watt Autos set me back a little, but if you want a really nice collection you have pay a little something.

I would like to get a Alan Ameche CUT Auto if anyone has or knows of one LMK. The rest are kind of obscure- looking for a dealer that would have most if not all- because the shipping costs as much individually as the cards for these players.

They include -
Travis Frederick, and Ricky Wagner = 2013
Peter Konz, and Brady Ewing = 2012
