Just got back from vacation. with the NFL lockout now ended , soon we will be bombarded by all the nifty new products from the various companies. I was going to wait a while longer to share this, but thought now was a good time to do it.

I did the 2010 Aspirations auto set. This year, I thought I'd give the Status Gold set a shot. It hasn't been as easy. The set on the checklist is 80 cards. I picked up one player that's not on the list.

I have 41 cards so far. Here's what I have in hand.....

Hope you had a great and relaxing vacation, Mel.

Awesome cards. You really know how to pick some sweet looking sets to put together. Good luck with this one. The Andy Dalton card is a looker.

Good looking set Mel. I really like the Baldwin, and it looks like you have several of the big boys knocked out already. Can't believe what some of these are going for. Can't wait to see more

Thanks, Nineof. The Dalton was in my 1st 5 pick-ups before the prices start going crazy.

Growing up in KC, I always try to get those players out of the way first. Baldwin could be the starter opposite Bowe this year.

I must have lucked out. Everyone was busy getting "Jake Locker". While they were distracted, I grabbed the "Luke Stocker".

Another great-looking set, Mel! and I see you already got a couple of the Sconnie boys. Well done.

I have a Randall Cobb (Packer) that should have been delivered today. I can't seem to find any of the Vikings players, though.
