Random Wax: 1992 Upper Deck Football

1992 UD:  Joe Montana was just amazing.  Four Super Bowl wins never throwing an interception in those games.  MVP in 3 of those games and you can tack on 2 regular season MVPs for good measure amongst all the accolades he's gotten in his career.  Just crazy great and would have been so much fun to watch in today's game.

Kosar and Lathon went to 1X Pro Bowl while Ken O'Brien went to 2.

Greatness.  He was MVP in '89 and '90.

Subsets/inserts included Rookie Force, FaniMation and NFL Scrapbook.  All are good and a nice pull in each.  That's animated Deion by the way. Maybe that should be more obvious.

Just a big fan of this design.  Upper Deck killed it with their early football designs.

Not sure why Joe Montanta got scanned twice but dang it, he deserves it.

Random Wax: 1992 Upper Deck Football

1992 UD:   Eric Bieniemy didn't make a big impact in the NFL, but I really like this photo.

Eugene Robinson was an excellent player, but I can't not think about his short time as a Falcon.  The night prior to Atlanta's Super Bowl game with Denver, and shortly after receiving the Bart Starr Award for high moral character, he was arrested for solicitation.

These backs were so good.

My two Star Rookie cards and the Star Rookie Checklist I pulled.

Star Rookie Checklist.  As always, I enjoy the art Upper Deck gave us in their sets.

My team MVP Checklist pull.  I always liked Reggie Cobb who had one season with 1000+ rushing yards in Tampa Bay.  

More art on this Checklist card.  Great set with good photos and a great design.

1992 Upper Deck Football

1992 Upper Deck:   It's hard to find new props for Barry Sanders.  It's all been said before.  He was just crazy fun to watch during his 10 years on the field.  You just knew you were going to see greatness that day.  And this is such a nice photo.

As much as I like this set, I'm surprised I've never picked up packs before.  I love this design.  Simple and the stonework look at the bottom is a great look to me.  Emmitt catching the ball.  Not as a surprise as he had over 500 receptions in his career.

The backs are really nice with a separate photo and has the Upper Deck look we were used too from that year.  Barry's eyes seem to always stand out in his photos.

Youngsters in the set.  Bryan Cox was a 3X Pro Bowl selectee.  I really thought it would have been more.  He also won a Super Bowl with New England in 2001.

Team MVP and Season Leaders cards work nicely.  I like both of those photos as well.

I really like that we get horizontal offerings.

This Thurman Thomas card is my favorite card in the pack.  The photo, cropping, team colors all work for me alot.  As a Bills guy I'm probably biased but that's okay.
