3. Dallas Cowboys News
Cowboys mini camp in full swing.
Rookies have been performing 2 a days for a few weeks now at Valley Ranch and Veterans are reporting as we speak. Two Cowboy players recently made headlines by signing new contracts. Both Marion Barber and Terrance Newman both signed a well deserved contract extenstion insuring they will be Cowboys for a few more years.
On a side note, Pacman Jones has yet to be reinstated by the Commissioner but he did square up his Las Vegas gambling debts. Glad to hear that got taken care of!?!?

5. Investing in Cowboy Cards
I have recently began accumulating graded examples of Dallas Cowboy cards. I really love the look and feel of these cards when they are entombed in these graded capsules. I have been accumulating PSA 7s - PSA 9s. I find that this range provides excellent quality cards but at bargain prices especially when you consider the PSA 10 prices. If you want to see some of my graded Cowboy cards, look here; Dallas Cowboys graded football cards.
I reported on this section in the January newsletter. I have continued to collect data and you can start to see a pattern of prices especially for cards that appear more often like the 1989 Aikman and Irvin Rookies as well as the 1990 Emmitt Smith Rookies. Book mark this page and check back often, I think it will become a great resource of Dallas Cowboys HOF Rookie card data.

Here are some Cowboy related web sites that I have recently visited that I found extremely entertaining.
Look what Dallas Cowboy fan and artist Zach Bolinger is doing with the Cowboy cards I sold him a while back; Dallas Cowboys Mosaic Posters. I am amazed at what Zach can do with simple football cards and I think you will too. As soon as I get my wife's permission, I will be purchasing one of these for my office!
Know Your Dallas Cowboys - I don't think anyone knows them as much as this blogger. The depth information on here is simply mind blowing.
The Landry Hat - A very opinionated blogger. At least his opinions are pro Cowboys. A very good place to get a ton of Cowboy information.
