Random Wax: 1991 Pro Set Football Series 1 4 Packs

Pro Set Football 1991:   We'll double down with Jim Kelly who also led off last week's 1990 Pro Set post.  Kelly was selected 14th in the 1983 NFL Draft.  Seven (7) Hall of Famers were selected in the 1st round of that draft - John Elway, Eric Dickerson, Jimbo Covert, Bruce Matthews, Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Darrell Green.
Pro Set didn't go a completely different direction from their 1990 set in terms of design.  But the tweaks they did worked well giving us another good set.
Great shot as Kevin Greene zeroes in on Chris Miller.
World League, NFL Officials, and Super Bowl XXV Replay cards.  Super Bowl cards with photos/highlights from the game should be a thing every year.  Why don't we see these anymore?  Anthony Parker played 9 seasons in the NFL, with 4 of those as a starter.
Award Winners, Milestone, and NFL Newsreel cards.  I like all of these.  Anytime we can get more variety like these, I'm in.
Actual photo of Bill Belichick saying time out to the Jets when deciding not to take the head coaching job.
Always liked Reggie Cobb and of course I love the Creamsicle unis.
These NFC All-Pro cards are great.  The art is really good and I love seeing All-Pro selections on cards.  Great job Pro Set.  AFC All-Pro selections are found in 1991 Series II.
1990 Replay gives us a look at key moments from the 1990 season.  Another good inclusion in the set.
So much fun looking at these and so many great memories and players.

  1. Whoa... I didn't know about the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft was so star studded. It motivated me to see if seven hall of famers (in the 1st round) was the most all-time. I couldn't find any other year that matched that number. The 1989 NFL Draft was pretty cool though too. Four of the first five picks are hall of famers (Aikman, B. Sanders, D. Thomas, & D. Sanders). Tony Mandarich was the guy who didn't.
