Though, Kidd also has a Score RC version as well when he was featured as a Flames draft pick. <br /><br />This happened often before they card companies changed their approach to rookie cards and stopped putting players on cards prior to pro debuts.Pro Set Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223284558318605801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-12947240714835781362011-05-09T00:20:52.365-07:002011-05-09T00:20:52.365-07:00Maybe 'Collecting basics' should be on of ...Maybe 'Collecting basics' should be on of the categories.<br /><br />Btw, can anyone explain me why Trevor Kidd has rookie cards from 90-91 UD and 91-92 UD?

When my 7 year old (then 6) decided he wanted to give it a shot, he picked a player (Soriano) and a team (Cubs) and started from there. <br /><br />One of my biggest problems is finding a collecting identity. Set builder? Check. Player Collector? Check. Team Collector? Check. I'm like the Sybil of card collecting. Or maybe, I just need to have a giant yard sale (bonfire?) and separate the wheat from chaff. I'll never know. <br /><br />Good post, though.TheRealDFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124717470072185198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-10583344202938642312011-05-08T14:42:47.465-07:002011-05-08T14:42:47.465-07:00Getting 'outside the box' can be fun.
Wha...Getting 'outside the box' can be fun.<br /><br />What your post really hammers home for me is that there is a lot of great stuff that doesn't have to break the bank.<br /><br />That's an area that a lot of starters get overwhelmed with.<br /><br />Love the Lidstrom Young Guns card.bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-53524528111043096572011-05-08T13:36:02.851-07:002011-05-08T13:36:02.851-07:00As always bamlinden thanks for your input and I do...As always bamlinden thanks for your input and I do agree with you there too<br /><br />Everyone's collection should be unique to their collecting desires, whether that be set, team, or player<br /><br />Thanks for the kind comment about the post, it's nice getting out of the routine of the goalie project :PMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034834553791036082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-89031966582047291702011-05-08T12:50:35.481-07:002011-05-08T12:50:35.481-07:00Great topic, great post.
I'll admit though......Great topic, great post.<br /><br />I'll admit though....I disagree with you.<br /><br />I will agree that an appreciation for players, sets from all eras should be embraced, I don't think that there should be 'musts' in collecting. I might not want to collect teams or sets, just players. I might not want a Gretzky in my collection. And I shouldn't feel guilty that I don't.<br /><br />My one piece of advice to those who are just stepping into collecting - YOU control your collection. Don't let your collection control you.<br /><br />There are a lot of products out there, and often that gets a lot of negative comments. I think it's a good thing as there are more options for the collector. <br /><br />If you want sets, you got it. Player PC, no problem there. Team stuff, great. Expensive high-end, yup. Affordable base, once again it's out there.<br /><br />Before jumping in, take a look around to find out what's out there. Decide what you want to pursue and then go for it. Modify your collection as need be.<br /><br />Each collection is unique - make it your own.<br /><br />Again, great post.bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.com
