2023 Iowa Collection Update: Football Part 4 (Hawkeyes)

 Hawkeye football is easily the best represented in my collection.  I started on in earlier than most of the other Iowa collections, and there are plenty of players to collect.  But lets look at the numbers:

110 players I'm in the Top 5 collections

29 players I'm the top collection

Over 100 cards of 5 different players

37 players I improved my ranking with this past year.

There are still holes, especially in pre-1988 players.  There are still massive amounts of cards being added each year, but still pretty happy with where the collection is.  

George Kittle and TJ Hockenson are the big winners this year with 35 and 32 cards added.  Tyler Goodson, Jim Jensen, Kenny Ploen, Zeron Flemister, Devon Mitchell, Jerry Reichow and Eddie Robinson  each added their first cards to my collection this year.  Goodson, Daviyon Nixon, Mekhi Sargent, Al DiMarco, Matt Hughes, Louis Trinca-Pasat and Carlos Honare all were added to the checklist as well.

However the most exciting additions to the checklist were Larry Ferguson, Jon Roehlk and Herm Schneidman.  Each were already in my checklist with 0 cards, but this year each had a card in the database now.  I track NFL players just in case TCDB gets older sets added that might have these players, team cards get updated with everyone, or some new set recognizes older players.  These three had older sets added, like the 2001 Green Bay Packers 1936 Champion Series.  More cards to hunt!
