2010 Playoff Contenders Football: This was another part of my Black Friday purchase from Steel City Collectibles. Fun grabbing older products like this one. I like the design that includes a full helmet which I really like. Maybe a bit too much white but overall I enjoy the look of these cards.
Fun pack as you get to go down memory lane and see stars from the past..or present in the case of Drew Brees. I'm a fan of the Contenders brand and this set is one that works for me.
The backs are pretty cool with a full ticket with another helmet and plenty of color. The Sean Lee is a Playoff Ticket parallel.
Definitely not a bad pull back in 2010. Three star quarterbacks who would go on to win a total of four Super Bowls.
Not a ton of inserts with this blaster but I like that retired greats were a part of those I pulled. The scans don't do these justice. Each blaster comes with one autograph and NaVorro Bowman was mine. He was a really good player as a three time Pro-Bowler and a four time All-Pro. He only played until the age of 29 with a torn Achilles in 2016 probably helping shorten his career.

Wow. Congratulations on pulling the Bowman! I still see people wearing his jersey around from time to time.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a nice pull. It's fun when you pull autos and you don't have to go look up the dude.
DeleteThe base cards would look nice with an autograph at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Almost makes you wonder if that is what they were going for.
DeleteI prefer 2018’s overall design of Contenders more, but these aren’t bad. Love that J-Stew card. Reminds me of when the Panthers didn’t suck.
ReplyDeleteThey had a nice running game back then. Stewart was so good.
DeletePeyton Hillis sighting! Looks like a fun break.
ReplyDeleteI always liked him. He flamed out pretty quickly though but he was on the cover of Madden one year...maybe the jinx got him too.
