Thank ya. First couple years of NT, especially the super limited stuff, usually doesn't pop up much. Figured I was going to have to pay through the nose for the first 4, but I didn't, so I was able to pick up the last two. Bears triple is /5, while the rest are /25.I don't collect much football but those are some cool cards Dave.... Love the old leather helmet swatch...
First new pickups since 2016
Still not sure whether I want to do the complete set. It’ll depend on whether I can find several from the same seller

Are these straight base cards? I can help out a bunch with base or parallels.

So this was a special pickup for me. Some of you know I have a big Don Zimmer collection. When he passed away in June 2014, the Tampa Bay Rays honored him by wearing "Zim" patches on their sleeves for the remainder of the season. During his time with the Rays, Zimmer became very good friends with Evan Longoria. They spent a lot of time together talking baseball, and Longoria was like a son to Zim. Longoria presented a tribute jersey to Don's wife when Tampa Bay retired Zimmer's number later that season (you can see the patch on the sleeve).

I hoped to find a game-used card featuring the "Zim" patch for several years. This week I found one. And while I had to pay double what the card usually sells for, I just had to have it. The fact that it was worn by Longoria makes it that much sweeter.
