Random Wax: 1991 Upper Deck Football (3 Packs)

91 Upper DeckDan Marino needs no introduction.  Neither should these great checklist cards with the cool art.
Not just a good design but also some really good photography in this set. 
Nice MVP cards.  I don't remember Wayne Haddix either, but he did make the Pro Bowl in 1990 though he only played four seasons in the NFL.  Dennis Byrd would be paralyzed a year later playing against the Chiefs and would die in an auto accident in 2016.
The Icky Shuffle with a photo bomb by Boomer.  Randall McDaniel looks impressed.
Mark Duper was my favorite of the Mark brothers (Mark Clayton being the other).  Christian Okoye was a punishing runner while Gary Clark was a great receiver and won two Championships with Washington.
More checklist greatness and a nice Aerial Threats card.
So many greats of the game in this set.  Love these cards and they are so much fun.

BREAKDOWN:
36 – Total Cards
4 – Team MVP
3 – Team Checklist
1 - Checklist
1 – Aerial Threats

  2. Great set... with some fantastic names. This was probably my favorite era of football... even though neither of my teams were good back then.

    1. Always tough when your team's success doesn't align with card sets you like. I get it.

  3. I have to go with the Barry Sanders Team MVP as the pick of the pack. He is my favorite all time non Steelers player.
