I also had a few 2019 packs from the gridiron I've never posted. Now seems as good a time as any!
I had two of these, but for simpler storage I placed the contents of both in a single pack - then never posted them until now.
When the veteran portion of the set is pared down to 100, you can expect it to be loaded with star quality, especially QBs. This one certainly was. There's also one rookie per pack. DeAndre Baker's career didn't get off to the best start, and getting charged with armed robbery didn't help. Even when charges were dropped, it was too late. He was last seen in the UFL.
This is an interesting grouping of players. A couple successes in one column, and a couple first round flops in the other. The presence of Josh Allen, even as a base card, and an orange /199 parallel does make it somewhat puzzling why I hadn't posted this until now.
I blame incompetence.
Remember the not even one-and-done AAF? They got cards for their season as well. When you have to stretch out a 200 card base set over 8 teams, the checklists will go deep for each team. The Salt Lake Stallions provided the most interesting content in the pack, with a kicker, an OL guy and a coach.
For some odd reason, they didn't list the team names on the card and just used logos. At least with a couple you can infer from the photos that two of the other teams were the Atlanta Legends and Arizona Hotshots.
Bonus points for one of the players being named 'Bug'.
There you have it!
