Congrats! Pretty sweet to get all the press plates for a card.
I've got a few press plates, but don't have two of any given card yet.

Having all 4 of a single card is VERY cool. I don't care who it is. That's just cool. :)

I was very happy to get it. I had a chance at it before but got outbid in the last second for $5.12 a year back. With him getting "hot" I got it for $20. Just happy to complete the set. Would add it to the checklist here but they are not listed.

Awesome! I'm glad you got all four and they look great together.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, I told you after the draft that Norman would have an excellent year! I knew he was really good just from his limited playing time last year. Now most QB's are scared to throw his way. Pretty spectacular that a young previously-unknown player has teams preferring to throw towards veterans Roman Harper and Charles Tillman instead of anywhere near him. They are almost guaranteed a spot in the post-season right now. I really think the worst the Panthers will finish the season is 13-3. They could go undefeated b/c of the schedule, but they've had some close games that shouldn't have been close. The stretch of @Cowboys, @Saints, vsFalcons, @Giants, @Falcons is a tough one though. The home games that bookend that (Redskins, Bucs) shouldn't be a problem, but that group from Thanksgiving to the Sunday after Christmas will determine how good the team is on the road and versus teams with winning records.
Keep Pounding! :-)

Oh I had a feeling as well. I have been collecting him since he came to the NFL. What's funny is his prices. I used to get his contenders autos for 99 cents now they are selling for $35. Just nuts. But I do hope they resign him. Hate to see him go. I think those close games happened due to Cam Newton. Sometimes he can be good or decent and other times you go "What was he thinking?!?!?" The 2 games that worry me is the falcons games. The Panthers like to make Ryan look like he is the best QB out there.

Those are two games that worry me too. The Panthers and Falcons always play close games and usually split the season battles. The odd thing is that both teams usually win on the road over each other. The Giants game on the road should be a close one too. I would be worried about the Saints game in NO but the Saints can't seem to even come close to winning in NO anymore.
Cam has been a big part of blowouts becoming close games! They had Indy and Green Bay beat and Cam went cold. It was like he wasn't really trying anymore. That bugs me, but at least the defense has been so awesome to cover his slack! They can't do it forever though. He has got to stop slacking off in the final quarter!
I remember sending you a PM after the draft asking you how you thought the Panthers did in the draft and you weren't happy with it. You said they didn't add anything to the O-line and the defensive secondary. I said that the veteran additions in the secondary make up for what they didn't do and the O-line was still suspect. The O-line has actually stood strong this year, even with injuries. I'm a bit surprised by how well they've done. I don't like when Carolina gives the ball to Whitaker or Artis-Payne to run up the middle. That's NOT what they do well. To run it up the middle, give it to Stewart or Tolbert! Fozzy and Cameron are corner runners. Get them going outside to turn it on and be gone! DWill did that better than any Panther ever. I like how the WR's have stepped up without Benjamin there. NFL analysts wrote off the Panthers offense as soon as he went down. Ginn is explosive, Cotchery is a very skilled veteran, PHILLY Brown is awesome at times (I wish announcers would stop calling him Corey though - he drops a lot as 'Corey') and Funchess seems to be learning fast. That doesn't even count the TE's of Olsen and Dickson. If the Panthers can continue on without any major injuries, it's looking good for a run at the Bowl.

Yeah that whole hot or cold thing from Cam is getting old fast. I hate how "fans" try to make it seem that Cam is the only reason the Panthers win. They say I am not a fan when I say Cam needs to up his game. They can't understand that I am a Panthers fan not a Cam fan. I still believe the Panthers need to upgrade the secondary. I do wish they would use Whittaker more as he does have a burst to him. As for the recievers Ginn is good when he catches the ball too many drops for my taste. Cotchery is decent but gets lost at times during the game. Philly Brown is the same as the others at times looks good and then at others you wonder if he went home during the game. Olsen is a beast. The Cowboys game is starting to bring up feelings of dread. With Romo in there they seem to be a different team. Hopefully we will see a Panthers Patriots Superbowl.

I'm hoping to see the SB 38 rematch too! I'd like to replace my 2003 NFC Champions/Super Bowl 38 pennant with an SB 50 Panthers Championship pennant! :-) I was a bit surprised by how bad the Panthers beat the 'Skins on Sunday. I didn't expect it to be real close, but I also didn't expect a nearly 30 point win. Carolina looks better every week and it doesn't seem to matter who's available on offense, the defense is just so good. Washington couldn't even move the ball in the 4th against the Panthers second and third string defense! The Panthers 2nd string offense didn't move the ball either but they just wanted to eat up clock. For punter Nortman to waste 12 seconds before taking a safety was pretty interesting. Third string QB Joe Webb was out there in front of him blocking to help waste time. The Panthers really do things different this year. I like what they are doing with odd players out there in weird situations. The Panthers utilize the skills of individual players no matter what position they are listed at. Joe Webb is supposed to be a QB but they put him out there on special teams as a tackler, return man, blocker for the punter and so on. They use players in the best way a player can benefit them. Colin Jones was pretty awesome on Sunday. He was everywhere on the field and made plays constantly. He screwed up once on defense and backed it up with 2 straight plays on the ball.
The Cowboys are still nothing compared to the Panthers. If Romo is the only way they can win games, they are doomed to continue to lose games and even when making the playoffs, they will repeat the failures they've had for years! Romo is not their savior and the organization has refused to put a good all-around team behind him for many years now. Dallas spends half their salary cap on about 10 players every year and continues to get the same result. The Panthers draft well, keep the significant players, and build around the core on offense and defense. Dallas doesn't do that at all! They buy/trade for established players with big money contracts and still don't get the production they paid for to 'upgrade'. I hope there is a Cowboys fan out there that can tell me who they've drafted other than Romo and Dez Bryant that is still on the team and a relevant player for them.
