Random Wax: 2020 Playoff Football Blaster

2020 Playoff Football:  Josh Allen and the Bills have had a good start to the year but losses from opponents within the division has given fans pause.  Allen has been dealt with some injuries as well but is still one of the top quarterbacks in the league.
Love the retired greats in this set.  Eric Dickerson and LT are favorites of mine while I always liked Andre Tippett as well.  All three also show off the unis of their teams that I like.
No issues with these guys either.  I actually purchased this right before Tom Terrific and the Bucs won the Super Bowl last year.  Yes, I've had this blaster that long and am just now getting around to posting it.
More retired greats so I'm in and I like the theme here.
More inserts.  Gardner Minshew had a hot moment where he and his hair were a thing.  And wow that Henry Ruggs card has an entirely new vibe to it after his DUI arrest in which someone died.  John Elway is an all-time favorite of mine.  Loved watching him sling it when I was younger.
My relic from the blaster.  Kmet had a really good year two last season with 60 receptions but has fallen off some this year.  The Bears offense seems to be a bit better of late so maybe his stats will see an uptick.
Overall this is a really good box.  No complaints here.  We'll end it with a nice-looking Chase Young card.  He's still recovering from injury but I'm hoping he can return to form when he gets back on the field.

  1. Haven't seen Andre Tippett in a recent set, but maybe I've missed 'em. Or maybe Panini is rotating their legends?

    I bet that Thunder & Lightning insert set looks great in prizm/rainbow/refractor form.

    1. They do have differences in their legends inclusions year to year. Some seem to be there year-to-year. Always fun though.

  2. Fields likes to run.

    Anyway, nice cards. But I don't see the point of the set. It's not playoff focused like the name implies. So is it just a similar alternative to Donruss made by the same company?

    1. He does. If they can get him to be a quality passer they'll have something going. And yes, it's just a different Panini brand. While the brand name is "Playoff" I've never seen anything that suggests it is actually playoff focused.

  3. Kmet has gotten better these past few weeks now that Fields is running everywhere. Thanks for showing off the cards!

    1. They didn't connect today much but you have to think he'll do better in the future.
