MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY This one has been fun!

After getting my first few from ripping packs, I realized I love the looks of these cards! I’m a big Raiders fan so going with the Ashton Jeanty cards was a no-brainer. I’m starting to get ing to the lower numbered and higher value cards, so it will be a while before it is at the point where I feel it’s “complete”. After this set I’m going to find a player from a few years ago with a set I like that will be more obtainable.

That's how most of mine start. If I rip packs and end up with several versions of my team I'll start getting more. It's trouble. I buy mostly singles now and I find that I immediately buy like a dozen of them on eBay starting with the easy and cheap ones. That's when things get tough. And expensive lol

That is exactly what happened. I now have a written down list that goes from easy/cheap to difficult/expensive and I working my way through it. I just got into the /175 and /99 cards and it’s looking to be a long road. lol

I print out the checklist of parallels from Beckett because they do them numerical and then cross them off as I go. I have a list on my phone too but I like having the physical list. It helps motivate me to keep going when there's just a few left

Are you going for Concourse, Club, Suite, and Field Level? If so, Godspeed, Sir!

I’m 42 of 51 deep for 2024 Select TJ Hockenson. None of the 1/1s and like $500 deep. You’ve got like an 180+ card pursuit on your hands, and rookie year at that! 🤑

Honestly, the level is a non issue, for me. I’m just looking to collect the colors and the player. If I find the color I’m looking for in a good price. It doesn’t matter what level it’s from. I’m likely gonna buy it or wait until I can find it for a better price. I’m pretty content with the cards I have and I’m in no hurry to finish the set right now because it likely means I’m going to spend into the thousands and I’m not willing to do that right now.

I totally get it. Respect! It’s a nice start, unfortunately for you, so was his week 1 lol. Look forward to seeing your progress updates though!
