1991 UD: Kevin Greene played with four teams in the decade but was still named to the 1990's All-Decade team. He twice had 16 1/2 sacks in a season and ended his career with a total of 160. And I love that photo.
I love this set. Here we get a little bit of everything. Great defense, a Jim Harbaugh appearance, and some kicker love.
Season Leaders and Star Rookie cards are both simple and stay within the design of the set. A Barry Sanders pull is always fun. I like getting to see players in their college unis too.
Good Steve Atwater photo. Whatever just happened, it did not seem to go well for Buffalo.
A nice horizontal card and photo.
We have an Aerial Threats insert, the back of the Season Leader card, and a Checklist card which is a favorite of mine due to the art Upper Deck did back in the day. Randall was 9th in rushing that year!
Team MVP cards. Sometimes I question who Upper Deck chose for these cards but I'm fine with these three.
This is the checklist for the Heroes inserts which was all about Joe Montana.
So much fun and I'll end it with my all-time favorite player, John Elway. Nice photo too. As is that Ickey card with Boomer trying to ignore him.

This is an awesome set. I remember getting a stack of these from my cousin. I think they were the first football cards I had ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGreat first football cards to start with. Such good cards.
DeleteThat Kevin Greene card is awesome! I knew he played for the Rams, Steelers, and Panthers. Forgot about the 49ers though.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Still can't picture him in a 49ers uni.
DeleteThe Ickey Shuffle wins it.
ReplyDeleteFun card for sure.
