Random Wax: 2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-a-Treat:  Patrick Mahomes really is scary.  The 3X Super Bowl Champion and 2X MVP is only 31 which is young in NFL quarterback years.  It's been nice to see him bounce back this season after being injured last season.

Some defensive love with some of the best in the game today.  These cards are lots of fun.  I enjoy spooky season and the NFL so this is the best of both worlds.  Good design.

Bo Nix has done really well as the starting QB in Denver and much more is expected from that young man.  Brian Thomas had a great rookie year but hasn't been able to recreate that magic since then.  With a name like Kool-Aid I had high hopes for the corner in New Orleans but it doesn't seem like it is to be.

And we get retired greats like we do in the Score base set.  Jeff Saturday was a 2X 1st Team All-Pro, 6X Pro Bowl selection and won a Super Bowl with the Colts.

The backs are just as fun.  Plenty of color and Halloween graphics to keep up the spooky vibes.  These cards came in "bundles" which had 40 packs with 3 cards per pack.

More greats of the game from today and years past.  Roger Staubach didn't start his career until after serving in the Navy and wasn't a full-time starter until age 29.  He is 6th all-time in starting quarterback winning percentage and led the league in passer rating 4X in his career while winning 2X Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.

BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards
29 – Bat Parallel
20 – RC (Rising Stars)
8 – Retired Greats

Random Wax: 2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-A-Treat:  Bo Jackson was as scary as it gets if you were the one trying to tackle him. He also led the league in the longest run from scrimmage in three out of his four seasons in the NFL.

I really like Panini going all in on the Halloween fun.  These football cards are better than their basketball counterparts in my opinion. 

Rookies get their day in the set including Brock Bowers who was an All-Pro in his rookie season.

Here we see the Bats Parallel side by side with the base Pumpkin design.

 We get retired greats in this set which is lots of fun.  Each bundle had 40 packs with three cards per pack.

The backs with a bit of Halloween flair.  We see the backs of a retired great, rookie and a veteran.

I also pulled a Mathew Stafford Trick or Treat Parallel #/99.  I like it.  More fun for spooky season.

2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-a-Treat:  I enjoy holiday themed cards so these were a must when they hit the shelves about a month ago.  We'll kick it off with Justin Herbert.  He's not putting up monster numbers, but he's played well. LA will need more I think if they are to improve on their 2-2 record.

I like the base pumpkin design.  It's simple but with the color accents and simple placement of Halloween motif it works.  The card stock is thin, but I didn't find that a problem.  They use the same photo from the player's 2024 Score base card.

We see our first Bats parallels.  Again, simple but it works.  Maybe would have preferred the border be purple with green bats but I'm fine.  There are 49 Rising Stars inserts.

We have retired greats, so you know I'm happy.  And if Ray Lewis and LT don't scare you, I don't know what will.

The backs are fine with plenty of color.

There are 40 packs in a package with three cards per pack.  They are meant to be used as Halloween treats for the trick-or-treaters.  They are a fun option for us as well.  There are Trick or Treat parallels #/99 as well.  

Odd Broncos helmet to use for the Denver retired greats.  Just not expected.  These were really fun and a great way to start off the first Sunday of October.  You'll see more of this over time.
