Bills! Bills! Bills!

 It's a meaningless season finale today in New England, aside from those looking for individual milestones, but it is a perfect time to showcase some Bills content.

This is the only COMC card here - and it is a beautiful insert out of 2015 Topps Fire. When I added the Alshon Jeffery Bears version of this to my 2/14 PC, I remarked that the card would look perfect o n the wall of a young Bears fan as a poster. The same holds true for the Buffalo Bills versions of this card. Tyrod has remained a beloved Bill even after his departure, so watch the nice reception he got last week when he subbed in for the Jets in garbage time.

Everything else - just the goodies from a group break of several boxes of Prestige.
It was only a few boxes, so I wasn't expecting a team set out of the deal. But, most importantly for my collection, I did get two new Bills making their collection debut in DeWayne Carter and Javon Solomon, who were 3rd and 5th rounders respectively. I especially love welcoming in players from outside of the marquee positions.
While I didn't land a base card of Josh Allen here, he did show up in shiny parallel form. These are Galaxy parallels. 
As for the numbered versions, here's Micah Hyde and Cole Bishop making their debuts in this post. As nice and shiny as the Bishop is, they recycled the photo from his Score base card. Sigh. While I don't really mind this for rookies - there's probably a finite number of ones that Panini has access to, I'll point out that the Bruce Smith base card photo above is also a Score repeat.
At least the Bruce Smith here on the insert is a new photo For 2024, at least. I'm not looking through everything.
There are shiny inserts, too.
Naturally, those inserts have parallels as well. No complaints about a team colour matching parallel, no matter what the numbering is.

There you have it!
