In honor of the big game tonight I wanted to show some football cards in my collection. I was an avid Steelers collector from about 2000-2011. Once my wife and I bought our house I had to scale back some of my collections and the Steelers were the odd men out. I still love adding cards via trade, but my days of scouring on eBay for high end singles are over.
It was fun digging through a few boxes this morning. Some of these cards haven't seen the light of day since I moved into my house in 2012.
I think this was the last big card I added to my collection before I stopped actively collecting the Steelers.
The UD NFL Legends set was awesome.
Hines Ward was my favorite player for the Steelers and he is represented well in my collection. His autos were hard to come by during this time period as he didn't have many and most were low numbered. This Spectrum is /10.
Heath Miller has been a mainstay at tight end for the Steelers for ten years.
Big Ben is a hard guy to collect as most of his cards demand high prices. I have one auto in my collection but this dual patch is probably my favorite.
A couple more Hines cards to round things out. Tools of the Trade cards were always cool in football and baseball.
Hope everyone enjoys the game tonight. Just to be different I have the Broncos winning 21-17. I'm just looking forward to good food and drink!
Thanks for reading.
