The return of You Complete Me! Part 2: a big Score

Today's package actually came at least a week before I was even considering the return of YCM and picking things up on COMC and SportLots.  You all know that I bought a nice number of 2013 Score football racks plus a hobby jumbo, and I decided that I wasn't going to make any further progress with packs at this point.  Still, I was in need of a LOT of the short-printed rookies.

Enter eBay.  For about $33 delivered I nabbed a lot of 99 different rookies, which was huge since there's 110 overall.  Granted, I already had some of these, but the purchase still paid off handsomely, as you'll see shortly:

Package #1 (eBay):

Out of the 99 I needed 73, which was still most definitely worth the money.  Since I didn't feel like scanning that many, I decided to show some of the higher-profile players, or guys with interesting names (hey, I mean Slay is a Lion, how good could he be?).  This group includes five first-rounders and a couple QBs, including the vastly overrated Geno Smith.  It also features a pair of stud RBs that were chosen lower than they were expected to go before the 2012-13 college season kicked off.

Oh yeah, there was another pretty significant card in the bunch, which ended up being my favorite:

This is my first ever Denard Robinson card, and I'll have you know that I'm duly excited.  I'm also happy to have a college shot of him, even though there's no iconic winged helmet to cement the deal.  It's certainly going to be strange seeing him playing for Jacksonville, a team with much different colors, but I think Shoelace will make the rest of the league look ridiculous for choosing him so low.

Just as significantly, my wantlist went from this,

to this:

I now need just six of the rookies!  By the way, if anyone else is working on this set, not only do I have a nice number of base for trade, I also have a pretty good cache of the rookies now, so please send me your wantlists.
