2025 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2025 Score-a-Treat:  Halloween is this Friday, so this is a perfect time to debut this scary offering.  Jonathan Taylor is having another really good season as are the surprising Colts.  

These utilize the 2025 Score design as the base for the Halloween inspired cards.  Decent design.  The border is basically the same as last year which is disappointing.  

We get plenty of rookies as well as they make up 20 of the 60 cards pulled.

These are sold in "bundles" which have 40 packs with 3 cards in each pack.  Easy cards to include when giving out candy on Halloween.

I like the backs though nothing here says Halloween.  At least Panini's basketball Halloween cards gave us a spooky vibe on the back too.

My big complaint is the lack of variety.  Last season's design gave us plenty of bat and pumpkin options.  Bat parallels were basically half your pull.  This season's set has the base pumpkin look and three parallels: #/399 Bats, #/99 Trick-or-Treat, or the new #/31 Webs.  And I didn't get one parallel in the entire bundle.  Fail Panini, fail.

I always love the retired greats and Joe Cribbs is a player I remember well from growing up rooting for the Bills.  His stats won't blow you away but he was a fun player to Buffalo fans.  Kellen Winslow has always been a fan favorite of mine as well as so many others.  A great tight end.  Hope you enjoyed our spooky beginning to Halloween week!

BREAKDOWN:

60 – Total Cards

Random Wax: 2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-A-Treat:  Bo Jackson was as scary as it gets if you were the one trying to tackle him. He also led the league in the longest run from scrimmage in three out of his four seasons in the NFL.

I really like Panini going all in on the Halloween fun.  These football cards are better than their basketball counterparts in my opinion. 

Rookies get their day in the set including Brock Bowers who was an All-Pro in his rookie season.

Here we see the Bats Parallel side by side with the base Pumpkin design.

 We get retired greats in this set which is lots of fun.  Each bundle had 40 packs with three cards per pack.

The backs with a bit of Halloween flair.  We see the backs of a retired great, rookie and a veteran.

I also pulled a Mathew Stafford Trick or Treat Parallel #/99.  I like it.  More fun for spooky season.

2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-a-Treat:  I enjoy holiday themed cards so these were a must when they hit the shelves about a month ago.  We'll kick it off with Justin Herbert.  He's not putting up monster numbers, but he's played well. LA will need more I think if they are to improve on their 2-2 record.

I like the base pumpkin design.  It's simple but with the color accents and simple placement of Halloween motif it works.  The card stock is thin, but I didn't find that a problem.  They use the same photo from the player's 2024 Score base card.

We see our first Bats parallels.  Again, simple but it works.  Maybe would have preferred the border be purple with green bats but I'm fine.  There are 49 Rising Stars inserts.

We have retired greats, so you know I'm happy.  And if Ray Lewis and LT don't scare you, I don't know what will.

The backs are fine with plenty of color.

There are 40 packs in a package with three cards per pack.  They are meant to be used as Halloween treats for the trick-or-treaters.  They are a fun option for us as well.  There are Trick or Treat parallels #/99 as well.  

Odd Broncos helmet to use for the Denver retired greats.  Just not expected.  These were really fun and a great way to start off the first Sunday of October.  You'll see more of this over time.
