Random Wax: 2021 Prestige Football

2021 Prestige: Myles Garrett was traded to the Los Angeles Rams during this offseason.  He had 23 sacks during the 2025 season at age 30.  This guy is a beast, and the Rams D just got a lot better.

Not a huge fan of all that white on these cards.  This pack was bought in 2021!  Just now showing it off.  Sounds like Tyreke Hill's injury was pretty nasty, and we may not see him this season.  Tough for such a good player.

Prestigious Pros is a good-looking insert.  Ben Roethlisberger would go 9-7 and make the playoffs in his final season with Pittsburgh in 2021.

Zach Wilson is the only player of these three who is still in the league.

I like the photo on this Highlight Reel insert.  And crazy we are talking about Justin Herbert's debut.  Six years ago already.

Xtra Points Parallels and a Time Stamped insert.  These aren't bad cards and I like that Jonathan Taylor pull.  He recently got a nice contract extension.  I'm a big fan of his.

Seasons Greetings inserts are good looking cards.  I like how they did these.  Fun pack of cards.  Enjoy today's first slate of Sunday games!

2021 Prestige Football

 2021 Prestige Football: Found these on the shelves recently so I grabbed a couple of packs.  Really hoping Christian McCaffrey can came back from injuries.  He's so good.  

The design itself is similar to what we've seen in the past from Prestige.  What is different is that white space.  The scans don't look bad but in hand it's very annoying.  The lettering on top of it is silver foil which doesn't help.  

Rookies get their time to shine. The Williams is an Xtra Points parallel. 

The Nick Chubb is an Xtra Points parallel while the Sweat card is a XTRA Points Red Parallel #/299.  The backs also have a lot of white to them.  Just distracting and makes the cards unappealing.  

The inserts aren't bad.  After all the white on the base cards it's nice not to be blinded. But really I do like these.  The Any Given Sunday are my favorite but the Heroes card has a good vibe to it.

I doubt I'll pick more of these up.  They are usually a good low end option for football cards though.  I could me making an impulse buy sometime...and probably regret it upon opening the pack.  Enjoy the first full day of games!
