Random Wax: 2020 Score Football

2020 Score Football:  Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers are in the zone with rookie QB Brock Perdy.  McCaffrey is a favorite player of mine and I love how he's blended right in the the 49ers and had an excellent season in San Fran after the trade from Carolina.  They now get the Cowboys-Bucs winner this week.

I definitely like this design more now than I did originally.  Travis Kelce and the Chiefs had another great season enroute to a number one seed.  Saquon Barkley rushed for over 1300 yards this season in a great jump back season.  The Giants have also made some noise in the playoffs in a surprise year.

Chris Godwin had a good year for the Bucs catching 104 balls from Tom Terrific.  Speaking of... Not sure of all the pink on these In the Zone cards.  Nothing against pink, just not my preference on cards.

I like these Next Level Stats inserts.  Close up look at the players and stats.

None of these guys have made their mark in the NFL yet but plenty of rookies in this large set.

I like both these inserts.  3D also gives us a chance to see retired greats like one of my favorite players Luke Kuechly.

I really don't get these Deep Dive cards.  No complaints with a Patrick Mahomes pull but this insert isn't one I care for.  Hoping for a good weekend for the Chiefs.  I'd love to see them and the Bills go at it again for the AFC Championship.

Random Wax: 2020 Score Football Blaster with Relic

2020 Score Football:  This design isn't my favorite from Score but I think it's growing on me.  Maybe it's just this nice airborne shot of Ezekiel Elliott or all the great photos from this box. 

Really good pull in this blaster.  

Photography on many of these cards really is good.  

Plenty of variety when it comes to Score.  Inserts and parallels help you from getting bored and give you more chances at star players. 

My relic. Seattle may be struggling but this guy is really good.

Really enjoying the photos on these cards.

Plenty of rookie star power as well I like the collage unis and logos.

I just don't get the Deep Dive inserts.  I try but just can't figure them out.  Fun blaster with a really good pull.  I picked this one up over a year ago but finally got around to posting it.  I enjoy looking back at these.  You get to see the Sammy Watkins card one more time.  I'm a fan of his and this is a great photo.

Random Wax: 2020 Score Football

2020 Score Football: The NBA season is over and NFL training camps are getting started.  This pack has been around for over a year now.  Garoppolo is looking for a healthy bounce back year.  It makes sense that he will be out after this year after the Niners drafted Trey Lance with the #3 pick.

So bummed to see Julio Jones traded by the Falcons but I get why they did it.  Team was hamstrung by the salary cap and someone had to go.  It was their own doing and doesn't make them better in the short term though.

Will we see Aaron Rogers in the huddle this year?  Huge question that still needs to be answered.  Can't wait to see McCaffrey back this year after an injury filled 2020.

In the Zone is just odd.  Not sure if the pink is supposed to signify some "Zone" or what.  

Deep Dive is another insert I don't really care for while I do like 3D.  The 2021 are a bit more fun with retired greats included.

Trubisky is a backup for the Bills this year.  Always good to have a veteran guy ready to go if need be.

While Shea Patterson didn't live up to expectations it is still a good excuse to show off those great blue and Maize unis.  Not a spectacular pack but still fun.

2020 Score Football: Tom Terrific kicks this one off.  It'll be amazing if he can take Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl victory in his first year with the team.  It's crazy enough that he had as good a year as he did at age 43.  Great photo on this card.

Not the strongest pack per se when it comes to star power.

These inserts are really busy but I like them.  

Nice Chase Young pull.  He was the real deal for the Redskins this year.  I love Derrick Henry.  Ole boy is a beast!

Julio and the Falcons had a really down year.  Gotta hope new coach Arthur Smith can turn things around.  Their offense is too good to struggle like it does.

Yeah still not getting the Deep Dive inserts.  I got nothing.

It was fun to see the Browns do well this year and I love the Baker Mayfield's commercials where he lives at the stadium.  So funny.  A fun pack and we're one day closer to the big game.  Was this Drew Brees' last season?

2020 Score Football

2020 Score Football:  This is my first look at these cards that just hit the shelves.  Still trying to figure out how much I like the design.  I'll kick it off with an insert I like.  I'm curious to see what others in this set look like going forward and see where I fall on this set.

The design is pretty basic and at first a let down after last years awesomeness.  Still it is growing on me.  My pull was only saved by the inserts.  My base cards didn't have any of the top stars in the league.  The set is pretty robust 440 cards.

I like both of these inserts.  That Thomas is a cool card and Ladies and Gentlemen...your 2019 NFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs...

The backs have a cropped photo of the front shot.  I like the backs though there seems like there is room for more stats.  

These two inserts haven't grown on me yet.  I'm all for defensive stars getting some love but I'm still not sure about the design colors.  The Cardinals 3D card had the same color scheme.  I don't know.  The Deep Dive cards are a bit goofy with it all about players diving.

This set as always has players on cards before they are drafted so you'll have to look up the majority of these guys to know who they play for.  I don't get the pink colors for the In the Zone inserts.   Nothing against pink but it isn't working for me here.  I'll definitely grab more of these and hopefully I have a better pull next time.  I leave this with a nice Jake Fromm from the Georgia Bulldogs because he is from the Bulldogs and that uni is classic.
