What do you do?
When you've got every base card you want, every jersey card you want, tons of patches and over 300 autos of a player to the point that looking on eBay, you're actually comparing what you have to what's left to buy?
My Steven Jackson collection has reached that point. I'm well over 2000 cards with 3-400 patches and 300+ autos, and the only reason I look at eBay is to see if there are any 1/1's I need.
Anyone else in that position?
Steven Jackson Collection
Total cards = 1,648
Autos = 376
Patches = 341
1/1’s = 94
Full rainbows = 24!

It's time to get to know those cards some more
. Read the backs, consider setting up a bracket or competition to figure out which is your favorite, think of ways you can put them on display!

You're one of the few that get there. I say enjoy the mountain top. Can't imagine what that is like.

Maybe take his jersey number(s) and focus in on those serial numbers.

Nope. Sounds like you're done. Now, divid the number of cards you have by the number of years he played and see if you think it was worth it.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.
