1990 Pro Set:
Jim Kelly is one of my favorite all-time Buffalo Bills. Hall of Fame, 1X All-Pro and 5X Pro Bowl. But more than that, he quarterbacked the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowls. It's a run that will likely never be accomplished again. He also played two successful seasons with the Houston Gamblers in the USFL prior to joining Buffalo.
Eric Metcalf was a 2X All-Pro, 3X Pro Bowl selectee. Listed as a RB, he was an excellent pass catcher and great punt and kick returner. He totaled 12 touchdowns as a return man. I really like both the Jeffcoat and Sharper photos.
Great backs on these cards.
Just amazing cards with in-game photos from the Pro Bowl.
Fun coach cards with some of the best of the era.
Art Shell's time as a coach was mixed but he is a Hall of Fame tackle who played his 15 year career with the Raiders. 2X All-Pro, 8X Pro Bowl, 2X Super Champion, All-1970s Team.
This design was so simple and even without a team logo it just works. That NFL logo with the Pro Set logo is a good look for me.
These Super Bowl Collectibles cards with art from the Super Bowl posters are great.
The backs are even better with fun information.
Reggie Roby was a great punter and known for that high kick as he punted. He's a 2X All-Pro and member of the All-1980s team.
I like the League Leader and Award Winner cards.
Dalton Hilliard had 1200+ rushing yards (13 TDs) and 500+ receiving yards that season.
BREAKDOWN:

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteSharpe leader card wins it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice photo on that card.
DeleteEven though he played primarily in Cleveland, I have to say the Metcalf is my favorite card here. He torched my Steelers for 2 punt return touchdowns in the 1989 season opener in which Cleveland beat us 51-0.
ReplyDeleteThat was a beatdown. Always liked Metcalf.
