I was not disappointed. There are plenty of base cards and rookies, plus a generous amount of parallels and insert. Throw in a clean design, and these cards are nice.
The 400-card base set has 300 veterans and 100 rookies. I pulled 37 base cards — 25 veterans and 12 rookies — from the hanger pack. There were also four purple parallels, and a Cubic purple parallel of Matthew Stafford numbered to 299.
The design is vertical for the card front, with a sharp color photo framed with a thin colored line. The Score logo is stamped in silver foil in the upper left-hand corner, and the player’s name is also displayed in silver foil in the lower right-hand corner.
The card back is formatted with rectangular elements. The photo on the card front is cropped tighter on the back to give a sharply rectangular look. The team logo is situated in the top left-hand corner, with the player’s name and a 10-line biographical sketch underneath.
Stat lines are included at the card bottom, with 2021 situated above career totals.
There are a liberal amount of inserts, all of which are retail exclusives.
There was a pair of Throwback Rookie cards, which pays tribute to the 1992 Score set. The cards I pulled were of Saints wide receiver Chris Olave and Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder.
PROtential is a nice play on words that features players in their college uniforms. The vertical design showcases the player in action, with the “PROtential” logo perpendicular to the photo and running down the right-hand side of the card front. I pulled five of these cards.
First Ballot recognizes players who were shoo-ins to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I pulled cards of Joe Montana and Charles Woodson.
The last two inserts utilize a horizontal layout. Sack Attack features defensive standouts who made a career of harassing quarterbacks. I pulled Jason Taylor and Joey Bosa.
I pulled three of the final inserts, called Huddle Up. These cards depict players in the huddle as they prepare to run plays on offense.
With the NFL season at the halfway point, these cards are attractive and fun to collect.
