Final Thoughts
I love the on card auto's. More companies should go to them. I hate the way stickers look. I also beat the odds and got a sweet Jersey card.
The Reflector cards in my opinion have a nicer look to them than refractors do. The image of the player does not use the reflector look so it makes the image stand out on the card.
It's always nice to open a box where there aren't all the meaningless insert sets. Press Pass has got it figured out with one set of 15 cards. It will take at least 2 boxes to complete the base set but you can always find someone on Trader Retreat to trade those extra cards with.
My favorite card has to be the Pettigrew Auto since he was drafted by the Detroit Lions!!
