Well, not sure if this counts, but I have several Favre cards I got in packs in 1991. Didn't even know what I had until the Packers traded for him in 1992. Definitely don't have anywhere near your collection of Colbert, as I didn't have the money to buy a lot until the last few years, but I've been making some strides (almost to 800 different Favres!). But I still enjoy every minute of the hobby, even though they've been way overproducing stuff. Like you said, not like the 90s, thankfully, but the sheer number of different sets and such that they make is a little mindboggling, and I wouldn't even want to try and get EVERY RC of Eddie Lacy like I've been trying to do for Favre. I've already got 68 different Lacys, and only have 4.8% of all of them! He's got over 1400 cards ALREADY! And many of them are low numbered and/or autos, so there's no way I'd ever be able to afford to get anywhere close to that. The one good thing about that is that there are that many other cards that other people have the chance to get, which is good, but dang that's a lot!
