Random Wax: 2022 Score Football

2022 Score:  They don't get much better than The Sherriff.  Peyton Manning really is one of the greats in the history of the sport.  He was a 7X All-Pro 1st Team selection and All-Pro selections aren't just handed out.  For context, Rodgers had 4, Brady had 3, Brees 1 and Elway no 1st team All-Pro selections.  Manning's 7 is the most by a QB in history while Jerry Rice and Jim Otto are the all-time leaders with 10 each.  Manning also played in 5 AFC Championship games, winning 4.  And I love these First Ballot inserts.
Matt Stafford and the Rams play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship today.  Stafford is a 1X All-Pro selection and the favorite to win the MVP this year.
These three haven't made a big impact in the league.  I do like the look of the Throwback Rookie cards.
I like the Celebration inserts as well.  Always fun.
More youngsters.  Hutchinson has been a stud since coming into the league.  Jameson Williams has also been an excellent receiver for the Lions.  Not a big fan of the PROtential design but I like the idea.
Sack Attack is another fun insert, and we get a retired great here.
I'm not a fan of this design per se, but I do like seeing more retired greats.
Huddle Up is a simple insert but for some reason it works for me as well.

BREAKDOWN:
40 – Total Cards
7 – Retired Greats
6 – RC
4 – PROtential
3 - Celebration
3 – Red Parallel
2 – Huddle Up
2 – Sack Attack
1 - Celebration
1 – Throwback Rookie

  1. Like yourself, I am not a fan of the base design but I do like the mix of current and former players like the Jason Taylor insert. Fun fact for you...Taylor played college football at the University of Akron with a guy I grew up with and he was invited to Taylor's induction into the Hall of Fame.
