I have finally knocked out a big milestone - I have acquired every player with an NFL issued card! That's 223 players. My total Cane count has climbed from 403 to 414 (of a known 449). Though you'll see some baseball and non-sport cards, all of these guys were once a part of the Miami Hurricanes football program.


I have to kick things off with my 1/1 pickups. The Prizm Draft Black Finite is beautiful. They are much improved since the 2012 debut of the set. The McDougle is the Atlantic City National 1/1.

Here are the new Canes. There are some vintage CFLers from 1963, '65, and '70. The Mark Cooper is a "Top Trumps" card, which are mainly manufactured in England as playable game cards, and game sets are made for just about everything you can think of from pro sports to Breaking Bad to house pets.

Moving ahead, some Contenders Draft autographs. The Dorsett is the variation and Denzel is an SP. I really hope Panini releases specific print runs for these.

I picked up a cool little oddball - a 1985 Houston Gamblers pocket schedule featuring Jim Kelly. I'm embarrassed to say I don't have his actual USFL cards, so that will do for now. I also grabbed a Bentley USFL rookie.

Some other random pickups. I cannot say enough good about the 2015 RW&B Prizms. Easily the nicest refractor style card I've ever seen. The Denzel Leaf auto is an SP. The blackish Morris and Storm Crown Royales actually look silver and are the Premiere Date /14s. The Calais Campbell red ink is /16. The Testaverde Goodwin is the mini cloth /50.

Haha... That was good. But we still can't hold a candle to the Gators and Hurricanes with sandals and arrests.

Great stuff as usual man, congrats, helluva accomplishment!

Some great throwback names I'd forgotten. But none better than Chris T. Jones! The player Randall C. called the "Michael Jordan of football"! Later writers called him "The baseball Michael Jordan of football"...

And for you young'uns, Michael Barrow was a Monster hitter at both Levels.

But on the Vinny B&W parallel, is 7/10 an eBay 1/1 'cuz it's his career TD/INT ratio?

I'm not sure if I should be saying thanks or trading insults :lol:.

I appreciate the views and comments, fellas.

Wait, so Free Shoe U doesn't cover sandals? :mrgreen:

Just haven't been collecting much. I've bought 2 things in the last year. Some more college products may draw me back in some.

Hope everything is going well with you guys.

Well, if you agree with [MENTION=2999]Card Magnet[/MENTION] , Panini being college exclusive will only make it worse.

I'm not as down on them as he is, but I will also say I'm not optimistic either...

Obviously I want Press pass to have a license, but this year should be good with UD and Panini it seems.

Hank just signed with the Falcons in the offseason. Injuries kind of derailed his career early, but he did seem to do well enough when he was actually given a chance. I'm hoping he will pan out as a solid WR3 in Atlanta this year.
