1999 Upper Deck Football: This was part of an eBay purchase that netted me some cool packs and cards I'd never seen before. This set has a good design to it and nice photos. Not a lot of wasted space either. Love this card of Buffalo great Thurman Thomas and it's a fun start to the pack.
Vinny Testaverde had one great year with the Jets which happened to be 1998 when he went 12-1 as a starter. NY made it to the Conference Championship but lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos and John Elway.
Eddie George started 16 games in eight of the nine seasons he played. And after only nine seasons he is 16th on the all-time rushing attempts list. '98 was the last season Tennessee played as the Oilers hence the jerseys on their photos.
The backs are nice. I like the color but that font size...wow. Works great here but in hand it's tough. You have to love all the stats though. The Strike Force insert isn't a favorite of mine but Randall Cunningham and that '98 Vikings team were so good. They went 15-1, 15-1, before losing a heart breaker to the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship. Fun pack and I've already been stalking boxes of this on eBay.

Great looking cards! I am not sure if I have any of these cards in my collection either.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a first for me. I really enjoy finding these gems online.
DeleteI completely forgot about that amazing Vikings season back in 1998. Just remember Moss and his ability to catch anything thrown his way.
ReplyDeleteI was overseas at the time and got to watch my Falcons win that NFC Championship game at some crazy early time in the morning. Though I have to admit I fell asleep for the 3rd quarter.
DeleteNice Cunningham!
ReplyDeleteI liked this product with it action photography
I'm definitely impressed. Good looking set.
