Goal Line Art: 2016 Pro Football Hall Of Fame Class

Members of the 2016 Pro Football Hall Of Fame Class have received the Goal Line Art treatment.  Artist Gary Thomas has once again worked his magic.  These paintings are extremely well done and look great.

As it has been the case since 1989, a 4″ x 6″ card set has been made based on these original pieces of artwork.  The 2016 set has just been released, and can be purchased here.  Sets usually sell for $30.00.  This year’s HOF inductees include Edward DeBartolo, Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, Orlando Pace, Ken Stabler, and Dick Stanfel.

If you’re heading to the Hall Of Fame this summer for the Enshrinement Ceremony, I’d take one of these sets along.  You might be able to get some autographed, and these look cool signed.  Plus, they’re a little easier to carry around versus a football, helmet, or jersey.

Goal Line Art Welcomes The 2015 Hall Of Fame Class

Since 1989, Goal Line Art, the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, and artist Gary Thomas have been releasing an annual set depicting some of professional football’s most talented players/coaches/executives.  In 1995, the set began to center around that year’s newest HOF inductees.  Twenty years later, its still being done the same way.

Take a look at these 4″ x 6″ masterpieces featuring the 2015 Hall Of Fame Class.  Tell you what.  If I were attending the HOF induction, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick up a set or two to get signed.  These things look crazy good when they’re autographed.

This year’s Hall Of Fame Class includes Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Charles Haley, Bill Polian, Junior Seau, Will Shields, Mick Tingelhoff, and Ron Wolf.  Sets generally sell for $30.00.  But older ones can run a lot higher.

Super-Hero Madness

This summer is going to be jam packed with super-hero movies.  I can’t wait!!!  They may not win all those fancy awards, but they sure are entertaining.

Panini’s Draft Idea Isn’t New

A lot of blogs have been praising Panini for capitalizing on the 2010 NFL Draft by making cards of recently drafted players.  It looks as if they plan on inserting them into boxes of 2010 Prestige too.  Take a look.

For those people that think this is a new idea, I’m sorry to say your wrong.  Donruss/Playoff did the exact same thing with last year’s draft class.  They look cool, but its nothing new.

Wait To Purchase SA-GE Cards

2010 SA-GE has hit the market and as expected many of the autographs have spiked in price.  It is one of the earliest products of the year to contain autographs of the 2010 Draft Class.  If I were you, I’d wait to pickup any of these autographs after a few weeks have gone by.  If you can wait until Press Pass releases their Draft Pick Football at the end of the month, you’ll save yourself a ton of money.  SA-GE autographs seem to drop in price faster than any other product on the market.  You’ll save yourself even more money if you wait until Upper Deck releases their 2010 football products.  If your a collector on a tight budget but still want that “must have” rookie autograph, SA-GE might be the best way to go.

Last week Press Pass signed an exclusive agreement with Tim Tebow stating that his cards can only appear in their draft pick products.  That didn’t stop SA-GE from trying to include Tebow in their products.  This isn’t the first time SA-GE has done this.  They have had to do this with other players in the past.  The cards never state who the player is, but it implies.
