Random Wax: 2022 Score Football

2022 Score:  They don't get much better than The Sherriff.  Peyton Manning really is one of the greats in the history of the sport.  He was a 7X All-Pro 1st Team selection and All-Pro selections aren't just handed out.  For context, Rodgers had 4, Brady had 3, Brees 1 and Elway no 1st team All-Pro selections.  Manning's 7 is the most by a QB in history while Jerry Rice and Jim Otto are the all-time leaders with 10 each.  Manning also played in 5 AFC Championship games, winning 4.  And I love these First Ballot inserts.

Matt Stafford and the Rams play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship today.  Stafford is a 1X All-Pro selection and the favorite to win the MVP this year.

These three haven't made a big impact in the league.  I do like the look of the Throwback Rookie cards.

I like the Celebration inserts as well.  Always fun.

More youngsters.  Hutchinson has been a stud since coming into the league.  Jameson Williams has also been an excellent receiver for the Lions.  Not a big fan of the PROtential design but I like the idea.

Sack Attack is another fun insert, and we get a retired great here.

I'm not a fan of this design per se, but I do like seeing more retired greats.

Huddle Up is a simple insert but for some reason it works for me as well.

2022 Score:  It's fun looking back at Brett Favre's career.  Crazy good stats and career, he could be a guy you loved or hated, and he was always fun press.   These are great inserts.

Not a favorite design of mine but there are times I'll look at it and say it isn't too bad.  

Jameson Williams, on the Throwback Rookie insert, has done better every season with the Lions and it feels like he's in a good spot to continue that trend.

I'm always a fan of Huddle Up inserts.  Something about getting the entire offense in the photos.

A Red Parallel Daniel Jones.  Wow, how the landscape of the tier 2 quarterbacks, and below, has changed since 2022.

Celebration inserts give us some nice horizontal photos as well as some fun as players celebrate.  I like rain and snow photos as well.

More youngsters.  Jalen Tolbert had his best season of his Cowboys career having 49 receptions and 600+ yards in 2024.

Really cool look on these Sack Attack inserts.  And great photo and an all-time great in Aaron Donald. 

Retired greats are always fun.  Fun pack of cards.  Have a good Sunday!

 2022 Score: Big fan of the design of these First Ballot inserts.  Color, photos, logo.  It all works for me.  Joe Montana never hurts either.

I may like the First Ballot designs but this Score base card design is not one that wows me.  It's fine but just not a favorite.  Good pull though, so I have that going for me in this pack.

But here we go with another design I like.  Sack Attack and those laces are a winner for me.

Breece Hall and Jameson Williams have been really good runnings backs in the league.

More retired greats.  It would really help if the border colors matched the team colors.  That greenish yellow on the Rice and Smith cards just really doesn't work.

I like Huddle Up and this design is good to me.  Simple but it works,  Especially the matching colors.

Aidan Hutchinson has been a beast since being drafted #2 overall in the 2022 draft.  Unfortunately he's out the rest of the season with an injury.

These are okay but I'm still figuring out how much I like The Top 100.

That Chase Edmonds is an Ellipse Parallel #/299.  

Celebration are always fun.  That Clowney is one of Purple Parallels.

2022 Score:   James Lofton is a great way to kick off this pack.  Always loved him including during that run with the great Buffalo Bills team of the early 90s.

Not a great design but I've seen worse.

Jerome Ford and Khalil Shakir have had some decent success in their short careers.

I like Huddle Up which feels weird.  Just players standing around together.  I do like those '76 helmets for the Cowboys.

More youngsters.  I like all these including the Throwback Rookie design.  Hutchinson and Olave have had great starts to their careers.

I like the design of this Sack Attack and always enjoy a Joey Bosa pull.

That Tua is one of my three Red Parallels.  First Ballot is a great insert.  We get retired greats and we get a couple of photos including the Hall of Fame photo.

These Celebration inserts are pretty nice.

Love the retired greats in this set.  Dickerson is an all-time favorite of mine and I really like Winslow and Tippett.  Back to the drawing board for LaMar Jackson and the Ravens but they will be in the contenders conversation this fall.

2022 Score Football:  Championship Sunday so of course I'll do some football.  Deion is an all-time favorite of mine and though I wasn't a fan of him going to the Cowboys I do like this blue uni from Dallas.  This Hall of Fame great won two Super Bowls and was an All-Pro six times.

A mixed bag with these three.  Justin Herbert will be hoping his next offensive coordinator can get him back to his 2023 numbers or even better.  He has a high ceiling in the NFL and I hope we can see more greatness from this guy.

Ravens rookies bringing it here at least with headgear and the hair.  Ojabo does not look like a dude I'd want to mess with.

This set has plenty of rookie cards to enjoy.

I like the Huddle Up inserts.

Purple parallel, Throwback Rookie and a Cubic parallel #/299.  There are actually two parallels #/299 in this set so you have to do your research to figure out which one you have. 

Like the designs on this one and I like the photo.

This was a 60 card pack so I was excited since the other packs only have 40 cards.  Only thing guaranteed with them is a numbered card which I've already shown off.  You have shot at other inserts but I didn't pull any of that coolness.  I've purchased too much of the '22 Score and this will probably be my last pack.  I still have plenty to show off over the next year though.

These Celebration inserts are fun.  Even more fun with a Mahomes appearance.

Who doesn't love retired greats?  The First Ballot inserts are really nice and I will probably complete that set.
