2006 Fleer Football

 

2006 Fleer Football: The Fleer company was purchased by Upper Deck in 2005 and this was one of the Fleer branded sports card sets they put out in '06 and '07.  These aren't bad looking cards but the design feels a little cheap if that makes sense.  Still I like the photos and how much room on the card is devoted to them.

It's always fun busting old packs because you just never know what fun cards you'll find.  This Maurice Drew rookie in his UCLA Bruins uni is one of those.  I was collecting in '06 so this is my first rookie card of his and like seeing him in his college duds.  We also see a gold parallel here.

I like the The Franchise inserts. Not sure who else was part of this insert set but I might track some down.  The backs won't blow you away but I do like the stats and they have some color.

This was a part of the eBay purchase I did some time back and it was a fun pack.  Great looking back at the players and seeing some of these designs in hand.
