But the thing is, the Hobby was all game used for Vets from 1996-2008. Some player used Pro Bowl jerseys started popping up into cards after that. And for the past 10 years, most everything is just player used. And not game worn.
So you had a bunch of companies using game used in cards, for a good stretch. So it isnt like it hasnt been done before. Panini just doesnt want to pay for it, and the hobby sadly doesnt seem to care anymore.
And to add to your math, we now have 17 games in the NFL. Add in 3 preseason games, plus any post season games. And you could have nearly 2 dozen gamers for any given player. While baseball has more games, the NFL has more jerseys. Since each team has 52 players. So there is a lot of content that could be used for cards.

I still type 16 when it should be 17. I would think that Playoff jerseys would be even cooler to collectors in cards, but I wonder where people would stand on preseason jerseys in cards? Still better than a Walmart jersey that has never been in the same state as the player. Also, jokingly, Panini only uses the same five players from each team in most every product. It doesn't matter that there are 53 guys on the team!! Not attacking your math, just attacking Panini for always using the same guys in every release!!
