I really like the backs which are done in team colors. A football surrounds the card number and the team logo is done in black and white. There is a player write-up as well as the 2015 and career stats for the player as well as additional player information (birthday, height, weight, college). I love the retro feel of the back of these cards. The first time in a long while I've liked the back of a card this much.
As for the pull I'm very happy. I only grabbed three Falcons and two Bills players but there were plenty of stars in this box so I can't complain. I love the retired players with the Steve Grogan and Archie Manning cards being the highlight for me. The Gridiron Kings cards are one of my favorites. I pulled DeMarco Murray which didn't thrill me any but it is still a nice card. I also grabbed a Megan Fox "Fans of the Game" card but was really hoping for a Daisy Ridley card but it wasn't to be. I like the "Production Line" card of Cam Newton as it harkens back to the old League Leaders cards. The one relic card was a Jonathan Williams Rookie Phenom Jersey Relic card. Not the greatest pull but he is a Bill so I'm good. The other subsets and inserts were ok but didn't stand out. There were still plenty of the inserts I didn't get but would love to. They did a great job on this set - I would have enjoyed grabbing some of the others. Check out the expansive checklist. Bottom line is I like this set quite a bit and will definitely grab more.
