2023 Absolute: First full slate of Sunday games today. Can't wait! Joe Burrow was amazing last year but the Bengals' 9-8 record overshadowed the crazy season he had.
I really like David Montgomery. This design feels like an Absolute design. I like it with the large team logo in the background being my favorite element.
Puka Nacua had a great rookie season and is a favorite target of Matthew Stafford. I miss the team logo on the rookie cards but I kind of still like this look.
Keenan Allen returns to the Chargers after one season in Chicago. I like the Draft Diamonds concept, but I do think the design could be tweaked. I like the look of the Star Gazing inserts though JuJu is an odd choice for this insert set.
The backs are good. Yes, we want more stats but otherwise it has plenty of goodness to it.
Opening weekend is always fun. We all have hopes and dreams of our teams doing well...for at least one week.
BREAKDOWN:
20 – Total Cards
6 – Rookie (RC)
3 – Blue Parallel
1 – Star Gazing
1 – Draft Diamonds
Burrow wins it.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThey aren't my favorite team or anthing... but I'd love to see Burrow lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd like that too for the franchise, their fans and for Burrow. He is soooo good.
DeleteDespite missing the team logo, Joey Porter Jr wins it for me. Hopefully he can play a full season this year even though he had a slight issue in the game on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bummer they couldn't sneak the team logo into the rookie cards.
DeleteThanks for showing off the cards! The rookie cards with the 3 ROOKIE and the RC shield is a bit much to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It doesn't have to be exactly like the veteran card designs but they could have done something different.
