Your favorite football release of all time! Post em

[powerinme86]

Just want to get everyone's opinions on their favorite football product of all time. For me it would be hands down 2010 Certified. Sold mix of veteran/HOF content. Great checklist. Beautiful FOTG cards that are highly sought after. And lets not forget those shield 1/1 mirror black cards. Also had a decent rookie class and the best value per box so far that I've seen. Since then it seems certified went WAY down hill. Weak checklists and too many rookie hits ,i busted a few cases of 2013 and 2014 certified and was highly disappointed .

[hanstess]

Mine's close to yours - 2008 Certified

Had so many pc cards come from that set - Felix Jones, Emmitt, etc.

[Tones]

2008 exquisite is still my favorite product to date

[88horsepower]

1997 Score Artist Proofs, if we're talking insert sets.

As a whole, 2003 SP Authentic.

[Seahawks fan]

2008 UD premier ... beautiful cards and a great mix of vets

I'm so far loving topps fire. Love the different design of the cards instead of the basic action shots.

Best photography, design, checklist.... and all on-card. Will probably never see such an iconic set like that in the hobby ever again.

1993 Upper Deck SP I love the design of the entire set but the foil rookies are incredible.

[Hess687]

TECMO SUPER BOWL, can't be beat, won't be beat, best product ever.

[jdbuzz44]

By far 2001 absolute memorabilia

Loved that product. Never could afford a box when I was younger , but buy it every time it crosses my path as an adult

Love the autographs mini helmets

[monkeymcgee]

2001 UD SPA

I think overall they were the best looking football cards ever made.

[chitownbears22]

1998 Topps Season Opener (No I am not joking)

Great draft class, $1 a pack, and turned out to be a shorter print run than regular Topps.

[phinzphan1372]

this right here!

The first HIGH end fotball cards imo.....

I opened SOOOOOOOO much of this when it first came out.... card prices were crazy high! I remember you could grab 40-50$ for an Emmit right out of the pack

[dolphinsdude]

I miss the Alma Mater Inserts, and I'll still take a silver sticker auto over some of these terrible clear band aid stickers around today. Wish I still owned these.

[suggs4mvp55]

1997 Score Artist Proofs, if we're talking insert sets.

As a whole, 2003 SP Authentic.

2003 SPA is a gem. The Signs of the Times Set is my favorite. On card, clean autographs. Classy design and not too flashy. Plus it has a good mix of 03 rookies and Vets which are mostly HOFers.


One day I will have all 25 of these....own 9

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/suggs4mvp/9dc1ad3d.jpg (http://s21.photobucket.com/user/suggs4mvp/media/9dc1ad3d.jpg.html)

Also 2003 Ultimate. Again, clean, on card autos and rookies were in college uniforms.

[Collecting Gems]

1989 Score...Cracking packs of this back in the day was awesome because of all the rookies (some future hall of fame). I think a box was about $40 also, not $1,000+.

If only Brady was in this set...

1993 Upper Deck SP I love the design of the entire set but the foil rookies are incredible.

[twisty571]

Very hard to chose just one honestly. I have been collecting for a loooooooooong time :p

1990's had some great stuff. 1996 Select/1997 Certified & Totally/1997 Finest/1997 UD Legends/1998 Contenders/1999 SPx

Then the 2000's came. 2001 SPa/2003 Certified (Mirror Black!)/2003 Ultimate Collection/2003 Limited then all the Exquisite & National Treasures releases. So much great stuff!

My favorite release so far out of all of them are these 2.
