Awesome stuff , first and foremost!....
The one thing I hate about event worn stuff is the fact that they dont even try to hide the fact that they are not jersey's of the person on the card!....
Perfect example.... your Osweiler has the #3 .... Os is #6 ...... 3 is half of 6 so I guess that is ok then
I know event worn is event worn .... but is it really that hard for a multi million dollar card company to "Obtain" an on field Jersey with an actual nameplate and actual number of the player on it?.... maybe take about 1 hour max per jersey to stitch em on?
I know when I see something like that .... I wont even think about bidding on it, I passed on several Tannehills at good prices because of that.

Great collection, Mel! Agree on your assessment of the 'game-used' mem--those would really be fantastic, especially HOFers and other vets. Though I did see that Topps has Pro Bowl game-used stuff in the Museum Collection.
And yes, for a lot of those 2012 guys, there are two different photos. I have a few of the Nick Toon ones and there are definitely two different pics. Some are numbered CCAR-NT, others CCAR-NTO. Eesh.

I know when I see something like that .... I wont even think about bidding on it, I passed on several Tannehills at good prices because of that. That was actually the reason I shelved this last year. I got the Osweiler and there was a lot of discussion on the boards about double "0" jerseys being worn on players as well. More surface area for sigs, I guess.
I decided I wouldn't pay a premium on any. However, right or wrong number, it's still not game worn. As long as it's the right team, I won't sweat it too much. It's all part of the set.

Oh, I'm sure it's 55 of each card. On the plus side, the OPG only lists Devier Posey, Ryan Broyles, Turbin, Toon and TJ Graham as having two variations. On the minus side, the OPG has never been entirely accurate...

I think I'll just settle on one card per player. Trying to finish a few things in prep for the 2014 season. I'm leaning towards just picking up singles this year.
My evolution......player collector to set builder to singles. The overproduction is killing my enthusiasm

I love the Strata, probably my favorite product from last year.
I need to find you another Hillman so I can have mine. I know what serial number that one has! LOL
I like cards serial numbered 34/xx

Very nice looking set, I did the blue version (/75) of this set. I think some other people had mentioned it before but there are indeed a few players do have photo variations like the Turbin that you already have. They are Nick Toon, Devier Posey, Robert Turbin, Ryan Broyles, and T.J. Graham. Good luck and happy hunting on the rest of the set, I can't wait to see it all finished. One of these days I'll post mine for everyone to see.
