OK, so I know the feelings on Press Pass cards are mixed at best, but I started collecting them in 1996 and have basically collated a card set every year since, so I tend to buy 2-3 boxes and complete a set and the inserts and try for autographs of the major stars coming out. This year I bought 3 boxes, which is 15 autos and hopefully a jersey card or two. My success with these in the past has been mixed, as I have gotten a lot of bad ones but also an Eli Manning silver and a Sam Bradford gold, among others. So quickly to the hits, which I have broken into 3 groups:
Group 1 is OK, nothing great but Jernigan is a gold and I was happy as a Browns fan to get Little. Quiz Rodgers is also an intriguing prospect.

Group 2 is 4 #ed silver autos, no huge names here, but Herzlich is a nice story:

Now for group 3, the 6 premium cards:

Unfortunately the scan got cur off, but what I got here is really good for 3 boxes. What we have here is a Nick Fairly silver #ed of 50, a Jake Locker jersey #ed, a gold Marcel Dareus #ed to 99, a gold Julio Jones red signature, the one that is cut off is a Prince Akamura CLass of 2011 #ed sig, and the one in the middle is a special Cam Newton "Nickname" signature, which is random and probably the rarest of the subsets. All in all pretty good as a college football fan.
