I had no expectations when opening this. I figured it would be nice to get a couple of Browns cards, and I figured that the set may bring back some memories of old sets and players. Let's look at what I got!

1992 Pro Line Profiles #107 - Bernie Kosar, Browns: Yay! Browns card #1!
1992 Pro Line Profiles #483 - Earnest Byner, Redskins: Wow, a card I need for my collection! I never even thought to look in the various Profiles cards to see if players with a Browns past had cards in a Browns uniform. <Takes a look> And I see there is a second Byner to find, as well as autographs. Cool! And card back may say Redskins, but this is Browns card #2!
1990 Fleer #382 - Deion Sanders, Falcons: Cool, a Deion card! Oh, and 1990 Fleer catches up.
2008 Score #139 - Fred Taylor, Jaguars: Rushed for over 11,000 yards in his career.

1995 SkyBox Premium #197 - Eric Zeier, Browns: Browns card #3! Started four games in the last season before the move to Baltimore.
1994 Upper Deck #217 - Alvin Harper, Cowboys: I remember him catching a playoff TD from Kosar for the Cowboys.
1989 Topps #15 - Mike Cofer, 49ers: Great, another Kicker! Sadly, a boring photo.
2012 Topps #151 - Mohamed Sanu, Bengals: Some people speculated Hue Jackson would try to bring him to Cleveland last off-season.
2013 Sage Hit #44 - Brad Sorenson, Southern Utah Thunderbirds: I had to look up his team name.
2011 Score #350 - Jordan Todman, Chargers: 2016 Week 9 Special Teams Player of the Week for the Colts.
2011 Score #373 - Prince Amukamara, Giants: Back-to-back 2011 Score rookie cards.

2007 Upper Deck #121 - Deuce McAllister, Saints: Nice photo on this card.

2013 Topps #436 - Stevie Johnson, Bills: Back-to-back 2013 Topps Bills cards.
2013 Topps #394 - Lance Moore, Saints: His rookie card is with the Browns, although he never played for them.

2013 Topps #174 - BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Bengals: Great nickname, The Law Firm.
2013 Topps #238 - Jermaine Gresham, Bengals: Back-to-back Bengals, seven 2013 Topps in a row.
1990 Pro Set #359 - Warren Moon, Oilers: Saw him play in the CFL as a kid. Will 1990 Pro Set catch 2013 Topps?

1991 Wild Card #34 - Dan McGwire, Seahawks: Aztec, brother of Mark, QB drafted ahead of Brett Favre. So much was expected of him.
1990 Pro Set #683 - Lamar Lathon, Oilers: Only one behind 2013 Topps now. (No, not Topps Now.)
2011 Topps #139 - James Jones, Packers: There are four football players named James Jones with cards. One is a Brown, but not this one.
2011 Topps #24 - Jake Long, Dolphins: Injuries derailed a promising start to his career.
1990 Pro Set #735 - Willis Peguese, Oilers: I know nothing of this player, but he pulls his set into a tie for the set lead.
1991 Score #147 - Willie Gault, Raiders: Would have been on the 1980 Olympic team if the USA didn't boycott.

2008 Score - Super Bowl XLIII #56 - Jason McKie, Bears: Okay, this is cool. It is from a factory set sold at the Super Bowl. Of course six different Super Bowl XLIII factory sets were made, all of different scarcity. I'll have a blog post on that later after an eBay win shows up.

2012 Leaf Young Stars #21 - Coby Fleener, Stanford Cardinal: Surprised at how few college cards were in here.
1991 Pacific #17 - Andre Rison, Falcons: I wish he had never signed in Cleveland. Modell had to take a bank loan to sign him. Do you think that helped trigger the move to Baltimore? Oh, and I miss Pacific too!
1990 Pro Set - Super Bowl Theme Art #5 - Super Bowl V: 1990 Pro Set stepping it up with an insert!
2013 Topps #43 - Mike Glennon, Buccaneers: A valiant effort by 2013 Topps.
2011 Panini Threads #35 - Colt McCoy, Browns: Browns card #4! I own a McCoy Browns jersey.
1990 Pro Set #252 - Reggie White, Eagles: Wait a sec! This is card #76. 1990 Pro Set has stacked the deck! I hope the 76th card isn't considered to be a hit. Nah, they wouldn't do that. I'll just take it as a bonus.
Oh, and there is a sealed pack in here, any guesses?

Now, that's comedy!
I'm not saying that this repack was rigged, but there was no way that 1990 Pro Set was going to lose at having the most cards in here. And, no, I haven't opened the pack. Maybe some other time.
And, this took way more time than I thought it would. I guess next time I don't list each card.
It might have taken a while to draft, but I sure did enjoy the running commentary with this repack. Fairfields are always good for scratching a quick cardboard itch.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy opening repacks like this when I have a chance. I typically go for the baseball ones as there's a Walgreens down the street from me that has a decent selection of them. I did see a hockey one randomly in my local Target that I might have to try my luck on. I also enjoyed your running commentary and it was nice to see the contents of these from another sport.
ReplyDeleteI think that Prince Amukamara rookie is a photo variation. I could be wrong, but it definitely looks different from mine.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I may be the world's only Brad Sorensen collector. Just sayin'...
I wouldn't have noticed that about the Amukamara card. It turns out it is the Factory Set Update. I'm sure someone will want it.
DeleteAs for the Sorensen, LOL, it is yours if you want it. I know I've got some Packers stuff you might like as well. I've been meaning to send you an email.
I did laugh, but not just at Butts. The running commentary was great! Please do more like this. Don't be too surprised if I steal your idea someday!
ReplyDeleteNice write up! I just can't bring myself to buy the repacks. Every time I'm in Target I stare at them, but always pass.
ReplyDeleteI really haven't bought this type of repack before. When I have bought any before they have been the assorted packs of cards repacks. I just bought this one for something to open, and frankly because I knew I could get a cheap post out of it. I really didn't expect to get anything for my collection, which I did. I hoped to get some traders for others, which it looks like I did as well.
DeleteAnd since people seemed to like it, and the running commentary, I will probably wind up doing it again at some point. Maybe I'll do one for a different sport, knowing that I won't be collecting them, but maybe sparking some interesting commentary from me.
