2024 Adventures in Repacks - Part 39 - Ending With Football

 A repack is always a good way to end a year of posts.

And here it was. Tee Higgins is a perfect opener after his game against Denver a couple days back. This wasn't planned - I had this one scanned for a couple days beforehand.
Every time I come across a card with a practice photo like Morris', I just hope that he got another card with something better than that.  Fortunately, they did. They really liked the re-used photo design in this opening group. Also: Punter card! If you collected early 90s Pro Set, you'd recognize Gardocki for being a 3rd round draft pick and getting a card for that. 
That Bieniemy was probably a big card at the time. Even with the background wiped, I still love defensive player with the ball photos. But if you're going to take the photo's actual background out,
replacing it with the team logo and team colours is a really great option. That's Danny Peebles on the orangest card in this group.
Your hit. It is Contenders, so that's probably your best choice for a set to get an auto from out of Panini. He didn't have the greatest career, but at least it wasn't a one-and-done. Also, it is sort of a nickname auto, as that's more of a Boom than a Dan. 
Bills 2/14 card! It's a dupe for the latter collection, but might be new to the former. The Vinson card was the only one he'd receive, so that's kinda cool. Despite a few seasons there, seeing Heyward on the Falcons seems odd. 
Not the mosr interesting finale.

An interesting signature, a couple interesting cards, and Bills and/or 2/14 content.

  1. Nice action shot of the Kelly. The fact that he fits your 2/14 collection is a nice bonus.
