Random Wax: 2019 Prestige Football

2019 Prestige Football:  While this year's design is a bit dull a Tom Brady insert always helps a pack shine.  I like the design of this Honor Roll insert and the photo on it.  Tom Terrific...just saying.

More Tom Brady here with his base card alongside a few inserts.  I prefer the Prestige Old School insert which features retired greats to this History Makers.  Not a bad photo or design with this Howie Long card but I wish they'd incorporate the actual photo background.

Young players get some love here on their RC cards.  

Some more stars help make this a fun pack.

Wide receiver goodness here.  I'll be curious if A.J. Green is traded this year.  I don't like seeing franchise greats move teams but this seems inevitable at some point.

Luke Kuechly is such a great player and fun to watch.  May go back to his brand sometime but it isn't on top of my football wants this year.

2019 Prestige Football

Wal-Mart had the 2019 Prestige football cards and this week the NFL preseason is in full swing with the Hall of Fame game so football it is today.  This design is a bit plain compared to years past.  

  I like the photos and the design does provide plenty of room for the photos to shine.  It kind of looks like Big Ben is trying to avoid the Prestige logo on his card.  Maybe that logo could go somewhere else on the card.

The Prestigious Pros and Banner Season inserts really didn't do much for me.

I love old school so the Old School insert of Mark Gastineau is a great pull.  Man I remember him back in the day.  Such a force.  This will definitely a set I will chase.  Unfortunately he is the only retired great in the pack.

The backs are fairly standard fair but they are colorful which is nice.

Prestige isn't like Score where you'll find a bunch of inserts.  This pack was heavy on base cards.  That isn't a negative for me per se.  The photos are nice but otherwise but not a lot here to bring me back.  I can still see me picking up more of these.

This Blue-Chip Recruits is my favorite insert.  We get to see a player in his college uni and the design works for me.
