Second series added Chuck Klein to the fronts of some of the cards. Upper deck copies this and replaced Lou with Derek Jeter on all the American League cards and Ken Griffey Jr. on the National League cards. I just happened to pull an AL-heavy pack here.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-3737882908139591362008-07-30T10:54:00.000-04:002008-07-30T10:54:00.000-04:00What the fucking hell is up with Jeter being on ev...What the fucking hell is up with Jeter being on every card?

I also had problems with last years red/green back fiasco, it is real hard to put a set together when half the pack is a different variation then the rest, i started it and after 2 boxes i kinda gave up (that reminds me i need to get some of last years to finish it). The size was perplexing also because finding something to store them in was hard because nothing was made for it i finally had to use penny sleeves for them and use a regular box so they didn't get all banged around. so i like the fact they went with the traditional size this year and used the smaller size as a parallel instead.orguss1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05349663726173802323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-646635454003038632008-07-30T00:51:00.000-04:002008-07-30T00:51:00.000-04:00It's got the NFL Players logo and the NFL Shield o...It's got the NFL Players logo and the NFL Shield on the back of the card in the legalese section so I would suppose so.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-14684318447729618252008-07-30T00:35:00.000-04:002008-07-30T00:35:00.000-04:00Yo Junkie,Just curious, but is the Elway licensed ...Yo Junkie,<BR/><BR/>Just curious, but is the Elway licensed by NFL Properties?Chris Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603530412835276148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-16831165820494813262008-07-30T00:07:00.000-04:002008-07-30T00:07:00.000-04:00I've only bought two packs, so there might be some...I've only bought two packs, so there might be some red/green weirdness I don't know about yet, but I haven't heard about it yet at any rate.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-85947916806267144962008-07-29T23:37:00.000-04:002008-07-29T23:37:00.000-04:00I was completely against this years set until you ...I was completely against this years set until you mentioned that are no red/green variations on the base.<BR/><BR/>That was the most frustrating thing about trying to build the base last year. I wasted tons of money on blasters and still never completed it.<BR/><BR/>I guess pulling the Ruth g/u from one of the blasters balanced it though...

I just found about 30 packs in a $1.59 box at the Target in Kennesaw. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, it was disconcerting to see a football player in a baseball card pack. I don't recall there being any football players in A&G, though I may be wrong. I would have preferred a swimmer or a boxer or something and not the guy who embarrassed my ex-favorite team in the Super Bowl. The card looks nice though...dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-89666351207848514002008-07-29T21:35:00.000-04:002008-07-29T21:35:00.000-04:00I think UD is trying to make Goudey too much like ...I think UD is trying to make Goudey <I>too</I> much like TA&G. <BR/><BR/>I think I was the only one who hated the mini-format of last year's set, and the mini format works better as a one-per-pack parallel.<BR/><BR/>But with that said, do we really need football cards in a baseball card pack?
