Random Wax: 1991 Pro Set Football Series 1 4 Packs

Pro Set Football 1991:   We'll double down with Jim Kelly who also led off last week's 1990 Pro Set post.  Kelly was selected 14th in the 1983 NFL Draft.  Seven (7) Hall of Famers were selected in the 1st round of that draft - John Elway, Eric Dickerson, Jimbo Covert, Bruce Matthews, Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Darrell Green.

Pro Set didn't go a completely different direction from their 1990 set in terms of design.  But the tweaks they did worked well giving us another good set.

Great shot as Kevin Greene zeroes in on Chris Miller.

World League, NFL Officials, and Super Bowl XXV Replay cards.  Super Bowl cards with photos/highlights from the game should be a thing every year.  Why don't we see these anymore?  Anthony Parker played 9 seasons in the NFL, with 4 of those as a starter.

Award Winners, Milestone, and NFL Newsreel cards.  I like all of these.  Anytime we can get more variety like these, I'm in.

Actual photo of Bill Belichick saying time out to the Jets when deciding not to take the head coaching job.

Always liked Reggie Cobb and of course I love the Creamsicle unis.

These NFC All-Pro cards are great.  The art is really good and I love seeing All-Pro selections on cards.  Great job Pro Set.  AFC All-Pro selections are found in 1991 Series II.

1990 Replay gives us a look at key moments from the 1990 season.  Another good inclusion in the set.

So much fun looking at these and so many great memories and players.

Random Wax: 1990 Pro Set Football (4 Packs)

1990 Pro Set:   Jim Kelly is one of my favorite all-time Buffalo Bills.  Hall of Fame, 1X All-Pro and 5X Pro Bowl.  But more than that, he quarterbacked the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowls.  It's a run that will likely never be accomplished again.  He also played two successful seasons with the Houston Gamblers in the USFL prior to joining Buffalo.

Eric Metcalf was a 2X All-Pro, 3X Pro Bowl selectee.  Listed as a RB, he was an excellent pass catcher and great punt and kick returner.  He totaled 12 touchdowns as a return man.  I really like both the Jeffcoat and Sharper photos.

Great backs on these cards.

Just amazing cards with in-game photos from the Pro Bowl.

Fun coach cards with some of the best of the era.  Art Shell's time as a coach was mixed but he is a Hall of Fame tackle who played his 15 year career with the Raiders.  2X All-Pro, 8X Pro Bowl, 2X Super Champion, All-1970s Team.

This design was so simple and even without a team logo it just works.  That NFL logo with the Pro Set logo is a good look for me.

These Super Bowl Collectibles cards with art from the Super Bowl posters are great.

The backs are even better with fun information.

Reggie Roby was a great punter and known for that high kick as he punted.  He's a 2X All-Pro and member of the All-1980s team.

I like the League Leader and Award Winner cards.  Dalton Hilliard had 1200+ rushing yards (13 TDs) and 500+ receiving yards that season.

Random Wax: 1990 Pro Set Football (4 Packs)

 1990 Pro Set: I have so much fun showing these off.  We'll kick it off with one of the greatest the game has ever seen.  He's also my favorite NFL player.  John Elway is a Hall of Famer and 2X Super Bowl Champion (1X SB MVP).  He took Denver to 5 Super Bowls and had a 148-82-1 record as a starting quarterback.

Ken O'Brien had some excellent years with the Jets twice throwing 25 touchdowns and over 3,600 yards.

I say it every time, but I'll say it again.  I love Pro Bowl cards with actual photos from the game.  These are great.  Bruce Matthews is one of the greats of the game.  He was a 14X Pro Bowl selection, 7X All-Pro and a HOF All-1990s team selection in his Hall of Fame career.

The Super Bowl Collectibles inserts are lots of fun.  I like the poster art on the fronts and the information on the back is great.

We get another hall of famer with Tim Brown.  He went to 9 Pro Bowls and was All-1990s Team selection.

Award Winner, League Leaders and Hall of Fame selections.  I love all these cards.  Linebacker Ted Hendricks is tied for the lead all-time in safeties with 4.  He was also a 4X All-Pro and named to the HOF All-1980s and All-1990s teams.

Charles Mann won 2 Super Bowls as a Redskin and 1 with the 49ers in his final season.

Nothing says I can't show off more of these since I like them so much.

Nice colorful backs with plenty of stats and information.

Some linebacker love including two of the greats from the Bills dynasty of the 90s.

A great coach pull in these packs.  Marv Levy took Buffalo to 4 straight Super Bowls.  The memories in these packs are great and so many legends from the NFL.  Too much fun.

Random Wax: 1991 Pro Set Football Series 1 4 Packs

1991 Pro Set: I've been posting these four packs at a time for over a year, and it never gets boring.  Another great card here with this sweet Herschel Walker card showing him off in that classic Georgia Bulldogs uni.  He was a 3X All-American, Heisman winner and a National Champion (1980) at Georgia.

Lots of greatness with these three and I'm not just talking about those sweet Oilers unis.  Bruce Matthews - Hall of Fame, 7X All-Pro, 14X Pro Bowl, HOF All-1990s Team.

It so hurts looking back at that Super Bowl but props on Pro Set for giving us highlights from the game on these Super Bowl XXV Replay cards.

Dallas Public Service Announcement, NFL Newsreel and Officials cards.  I know Jim Everett is a Ram, but this subset's name is just that.  I really like that Whitney Houston card.  It was a great moment that I remember.

There was so much that led to this moment being so memorable.  

Ray Donaldson was a 6X Pro Bowl selection and won a Super Bowl ring as a Dallas Cowboy.

Man, throwing with that thing on his finger couldn't have been easy.

Heisman Hero, Coach, and World League Football cards are all fun.  Gibbs is not only a Hall of Fame NFL coach but has also won 5 NASCAR Championships as a NASCAR Cup team owner.

6X Pro Bowler Clay Matthews.

I love these NFC All-Pro inserts.  The art is great and there are so many amzing players spotlighted.

Wow there are some great seasons there.  Hall of Fame.  6X Pro Bowl.  5X All-Pro.  HOF 1980s Team. Rookie of the Year.

I always liked Anthony Miller and he and Duper were such great receivers.  These are so much fun and there are so many memories.

Random Wax: 1990 Pro Set Football (4 Packs)

1990 Pro Set:   Rod Woodson had 17 interceptions in his 17-year career and is the all-time leader in interceptions for touchdowns with 12.  He was selected as an All-Pro six times and is a member of the All-90s Team.  His one Super Bowl championship came with Baltimore in 2000.

Lots of defensive love with some really good photos on these cards.

And he was an excellent kick returner.

Love the art on the Super Bowl Collectibles inserts.  This is art I remember as a kid growing up.

Love the facts on the back as well.

I was a big fan of receivers in this era and 2X All-Pro Roy Green was right up there with my favorites.

Award Winner cards.  I like these.

Definitely an all-time favorite set of mine.  Even with no logo, there's something about it.

Maybe it's the Pro Bowl cards with in game photos? 

Always enjoy sharing these.  I don't think I have many more so I'll enjoy them while I can.
