2024 Adventures in Repacks - Part 22

 

The finale from the last shipment of repacks. Restock time! Opening with Frank Gore with one of the 17 teams he played with during his 31 year career.

Looking behind Gore, that Brunell is somewhat of a surprising entry as a base card in a set. But I guess if you're going for franchise history with Jacksonville, it really feels like it will have to be either Brunell or Fred Taylor. Bills content! Otto Graham brings some far more interesting history with his appearance. Also, an OL appearance.

That's followed up with an amazing base card entry from Pro Set's attempt at an upper-tier release with Platinum. A great sequence of shots, with it dated to a specific play that is described in detail. 

Here's another card game dated, but a guy just standing around during an eventual loss really doesn't grab you the same way as the first does. Even then, the game actually took place on 11/26, as per research I did on a previous card I wanted to game-date. But we do get another OL appearance, and a great use of a horizontal format of a running back breaking through a hole.

Why not have a third game-dated card in this? While the photo isn't necessarily from the listed date, this time it is the relic that is linked to a specific date.

And this one also includes a write-up, and one far more flattering than the one on the Chuck Smith. He didn't reach the 100 yard mark, but 2 TDs in a victory is certainly worth highlighting. At least Washington won respectably, and didn't get splattered on the game referenced.

The Maclin was the finale in this. Pretty blah for the final portion, but a pair of kicker cards elevate it to semi-greatness.

There you have it!
