1991 Pro Set:
Thurman Thomas was such an amazing running back. He led the league in yards from scrimmage four times. A Bills legend and I have a Thurman Thomas jersey.
Something about this design, similar to the 1990 set just makes it work. So simple and even without the team logo it looks good. I like the Pro Set logos as well. Not sure why, but it combined with the NFL shield looks good.
Another Bills legend celebrating and Buffalo had a lot to celebrate about in the 90s.
I like the Hall of Fame cards and we also get a Milestone and Award Winner card which I like. And for some reason we have the team helmets here. Feels like those would have worked on the base cards though maybe without the colored background behind them.
We all remember Johnny Grier. Easy to overlook these guys but then when you see their cards, you're like "I remember that guy".
Some of the excellent players from the era.
Chuck Noll is of course the coach of four Pittsburgh Steelers championship teams.
We get World League cards. That middle card is a Dallas Public Service Announcement insert which includes players from other teams like we see with Ray Childress of the Houston Oilers. NFL Newsreel cards aren't bad and a good look at a moment in time.
Knoll would retire after the 1991 season with 193 wins.
I love the All-NFC inserts and this art.
Maybe Steve Tasker won't be celebrating this moment but still a fun card. Another Bill who will never have to buy his own drink in Buffalo.
So many memories here and fun cards. Like all three of these players and lots of Bills in these packs which is a win for me. I also get Deion whose name was in the news quite a bit with NFL coaching vacancies.
