2025 Patrick Mahomes Football Tin

Derrick Henry had a monster 2024 first season in Baltimore with 16 touchdowns and almost 2,000 yards.  He's a beast and looks good on this Donruss Optic Light It Up insert.
These tins almost always look cool and pull me in.  About the only thing I can do with them is put things like stickers or other randomness in them.  Still, I fall for these more than I should.  You'll get variety in the form of shiny card brands like Select, Mosaic and Donruss Optic.
Georgia Bulldogs alum Brock Bowers had a great rookie season with the Raiders despite their issues at quarterback.  He had 5 touchdowns and almost 1,200 receiving yards.
Here's the tin.  I like the look and the photo. It's black on the sides with Mahomes name and number in jersey lettering.
The downside to the cards is you won't get many.  I wish there was at least one fat pack or add in some smaller packs of Donruss and Score to give us a bit more.
Always some downsides to tins but I did enjoy this one.  It looks pretty nice, and I pulled a few good cards like this nice-looking Josh Allen My House insert.

2023 Select Football

2023 Select:  You have to think, or hope Jalen Hurts and the Eagles can get past their collapse of last season.  They've started off well so there is hope.
Saquon is looking like a great pickup for those same Eagles.  Some irony that he went to a team within the division.  That A-Aron is a Club Level design while Saquon is Concourse.  I've enjoyed Select in previous years but not a big fan this year.  Maybe my tastes are changing.  It feels like Select but I'm just not there.  
Rookie representation.  You'll find plenty of diecut parallels as well.  They don't do much for me but there are those who like them.  Kobie Turner had an outstanding first year with nine sacks.  Jordan Addison was no slouch with 73 catches.  BJU Ojulari had four sacks but is injured this season.
The backs are colorful but lack stats.  Always a bummer.  The cards are separated across different levels:

Concourse – #1-100
Premier Level – #101-200
Club Level – #201-300
FIeld Level – #301-400
Suite Level – #401-500
Some inserts.  Nothing crazy good but they are okay.  Select Certified would be my favorite here.  Nice Nacua pull while Addison makes another appearance.
These are Red & Yellow Prizm Die Cut parallels which are three to a pack.  I can't see myself picking up more of the these.  The price point and lack of wow factor will keep me away.
