Value - 4/5
Rebuy - 4/5

Total - 20/25 (80%)

At around $150 retail per box (around $130-140 on eBay), 2010 Absolute Memorabilia Football is a good value with four autographs or memorabilia cards per box. More specifically, collectors can expect each box to produce:

1 Autograph Rookie or Veteran serial numbered #’d to 299 or less
1 Rookie NFL Die Cut Material Autograph #’d to 299 or less
2 Memorabilia Cards #’d to 100 or less
2 Rookie Cards #’d to 299 or less
2 Inserts or Parallel Cards

Overall, we did very well with our box pulling two autograph/memorabilia cards and a nice quad of the best players on the Vikings. Of course the major hit was the RMP of Tim Tebow numbered to 10. The biggest disappointment is that the product contains the dreaded sticker autographs and the reason why I have the design as the lowest rating and the rebuy not at 5. Overall, Absolute Football is for those that are willing to pay for autographs and memorabilia and not for set collectors.
