One minute I hate Ted Ginn and the next I wish he was still a Phin. Then you have some horrible draft picks over the past 5 or 6 years that make me sad when I see their cards in my collection. Then when I see those same players in a good mood I say oh yeah I remember that play he made or how that player was a staple on my madden team. Again Im a very emotional guy when it comes to my team and the Bears as well. If the Phins lose Im in a bad mood until at least Wednesday depending on the type of loss.

Ive dumped all Patrick Turner and Pat White cards as they were nothing but a waste. However when you search for their cards they have some sick patches which makes me want to bite especially when the price is cheap.

When the whole Ricky Williams situation happened I was crushed. I was so mad at Ricky that I wished he would never play again. I told everyone I hated him and Im glad he was gone. I sold every card of him I had for probably 25% of what I spent on them. Then all of sudden Ricky was back. Well sort of...It took him awhile to get in playing shape. Skipping ahead...Time heals all wounds. I became a Ricky fan again and nothing can change it. For whatever reason Im intrigued by him and love watching him play. I will forever be a fan of Ricky and hope he stays a Phin forever.

I guess its just part of the fanatic in all of us.

well said ..... kinda sums up a lot of my thoughts about "team collecting" in a nutshell Wink

the Lions have had soooooo many poor draft choices in the 2000's (thank you Matt Millen) so collecting Joey Harrington's is just a plum waste of time Wink

After I got back into the hobby in 08 after a long break I was hot and heavy into collecting Steelers. Well I had to learn the hard way. I picked up every card of the new rookies and traded away some good cards to get them and although I love the cards it may not have been a smart move. I traded away some good HOFers for players that were duds. I now do like you do and try to get a few cards of the new guys but I have a few side player collections that I go after hard core. Smile

I know there's a few cards I'd love to get back as well Sad sometimes it can be a harsh "learning curve" but sometimes those "duds" can turn into gems down the road Smile
