Random Wax: 2023 Contenders Football Blaster

2023 ContendersDak and the Cowboys have not lived up to expectations this season.  That of course causes all kinds of commotion in Cowboy nation.  And makes for great memes.
As usual a good pull in this pack.  That Lamar Jackson is a bronze parallel.  I pulled a red parallel of him in his last pack.  I do like this design.  I know there isn't' much room for the photo but I like it.  I like getting to see the background of the photo as well which isn't always the case with Contenders.
These Draft Class Contenders cards are fun flash backs to retired greats.  The dual photos really work.
What are the odds of two Tanks on the same card?  I like it.
The 49ers are dealing with injuries to key offensive weapons and it shows.  They still have time to get into the playoff hunt and nobody is running away with the division.  They just have to weather this storm.
Lots of wide receiver love here.  Evans is injured but looked good before going out.  Diggs is fitting in well in Houston and Adams is hoping to turnaround the Jets' culture and offense.
I like the Stallions cards.  The Rookie Ticket Dual Swatch was a really good pull with Robinson and Gibbs both being excellent running backs in the league today.
But neither can stand up to King Henry.  Derrick Henry is having a monster year with Baltimore, and I love it.  Great seeing him do so well for a winning team.  Burrow is having maybe his best season, but it hasn't equated to wins for Cincy. McCaffrey has battled injuries again this year but man he's fun when he's on the field.  Great box of cards!

  1. TJ Watt is my favorite here but I have to say the Randy Moss is a great looking card too.

    1. The colors really work on TJ's card. That black and gold is iconic.

    1. Baltimore was off last week but Lamar has had a great year.
