Bills! Bills! Bills!

 Let the season commence! Let my hopes go through the roof only to have it end in disappointment. I almost prefer the playoff drought years where they were basically eliminated by December.

Almost.

But here's a bunch of Bills cards to show off from various sources.

First up, here's a team set built through a group break.

There were not just one, but two 2/14 babies among the base set. And neither one was Jim Kelly! While Drew Bledsoe is a frequent inclusion in these types of sets, I'm certainly not used to seeing him with the Bills. With his going on IR to start the season, Tyler Bass will have to wait to see how much he warrants inclusion.

As for the other team legend, this was unexpected, but definitely a pleasant surprise with his appearance. I don't believe Joe Cribbs has been seen in a lower-end base since UD Legends almost 20 years ago.

Here's the rest of the team set. There's my first card saluting Amari Cooper's brief run with the team. While I'm usually looking forward to adding their first round pick to my collection in an early set, I'll gladly wait until later, given some of the accusations against him.

I got a single parallel, but it was a numbered Josh Allen in a team colour match, so all is well there.

And a single insert, also of Josh. So, not too much overall, but as long as I get a team set out of the deal, I'm still happy.

Now, COMC stuff! The theme for this portion is "Team Collection Debuts"

Topps Total and their trio cards were wonderful for adding obscure Bills to my binder, especially ones with few cards other than these. Even if I did already have solo cards of some of these guys, do I really need to add an appearance of a guy named Kiwaukee?

I guess I should have waited until cards from Select to show up to get a card of Taylor Rapp wearing a Guardian Cap in-game, but this does officially add him to my collection.

Like I'm going to have a chance to get any sort of a card from Panini of an undrafted OL guy. 

As for my desire to commemorate Marquez Valdes-Scantling and his part-season in Buffalo, at least I've got an option with him in Bills colours. Mind you, this card was the only option. He had no others, not even parallels of this. Thank you, sticker dumps!

The final debut is by request, and said request was by Joe Andreessen.

See!

He did get a pack-pullable card in Select, but this one is a lot more interesting.

And there you have it!
