Hey all. New here and first Chrome box break!
Hey guys, Im a newbie here. Actually I am a newbie to collecting, sort of. Back when I was a kid I collected basketball cards. I recently bought a pack of football cards because I am a huge football fan and wanted to see if collecting was as fun as when I was a kid. It definitely is.
Anyways, I have bought several chrome blasters and my first hobby box tonight.
A couple of the highlights in my months worth of collecting are:
Andrew Luck Tall Boy Red Refractor - /75
1957 Trent Richardson Refractor Auto (Heisman pose)
Andrew Luck Orange Refractor
RGIII Purple Refractor
RGIII Jersey Relic
I will be around more often to share in the fun. Just wanted to say whats up and share my luck thus far, no pun intended. One question, other than Chrome, what are some other good football card options that may excite me?

Thanks man. Forgot about pulling a base Luke Kuechly Auto out of a rack pack. Nothing to write home about but it was my first auto ever.

Actually, Contenders is scorching hot for about two days, then everybody complains for six months about all the crappy autos they pull ... it's called getting "Todmanned" ... LOL

I didn't have that kind of bad luck in 2011 Contenders. Two boxes bought... two Cam Newton's pulled. LMAO. I LOVE Contenders... I've traded for all the other Contenders autos that I have.
