100+ & COUNTING PART II

                           In my last post I discussed about my baseball sets well I wanted to showcase my football sets. Now currently I am working on getting the missing sets but, I am trying to get a complete set run from 1975 Topps to when they stopped in 2015. The missing sets I have yet to find for a reasonable trade offer or price are as follows 2001,2009,2013,2014,2015. The reason I didn't go crazy in football sets is back in prepandemic (2020) I kept my football & basketball sets (Stay tuned for Part III). Heres my 2 bookshelves of current complete sets as well those I am currently working on.

                                                  some of these binders have more than 1 set in them.

                                                   If you notice there's the second set of those books I mentioned on my blog back on August 12, 2024. 

                      Back in 1991 when I started my football card collection I thought I would put any past or future football sets in red binders so I wouldn't confuse them with the baseball & hockey sets. Sure I have some say now Football Album those are an exception reason cause I was able to locate red binders mainly at second hand stores cheaper ($.25 to .75) then the fancier ones. The reason I had very little football sets is I wanted to mainly focus on Barry Sanders career only then *explosion sound* 2020 occurred. I went crazy picking up sets when I could for little or nothing as well building them but I just wanted to mainly start in 1975 then I realized I had almost all the sets from the `80s & `90s. so I went to 1975 that's how old I'll go no matter if you try to persuade me I ain't going any further back. 

                      Everytime I say this will be my last football set I'll do but.....I keep adding to it what can I say I want that run of sets starting in 1975 to 2015 run. This will be a relatively short post so if you want to help me get the run & would like to give me one of the missing sets I need I won't complain or if you want to help me with my football needs just look for my lists within my blog With that said I am reminded of Rogers Hornsby talking about signing autographs for kids. "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for kids ain't an American, he's a Communist." Oh yeah if you do send me a set I need I'll be sure to mention ya in my blog in a future post as a special thank you post.
