i feel they just wasted the nfl logo with a design like that

worst product ever to hit the shelves. I've seen a few breaks and they have been horrible. The card design lacks as far as I'm concerned. The jerry rice /5 auto on the bay is horrible.
It's basically an over hyped triple threads knockoff. the auto/jersey "rookies" have 2006 stats on them so how are they rookies again? Honestly exquisite, and NT are way better (IMO)

Didn't realize they had the stats from 2006 on the cards. Wouldn't that make them the first 2007 release? The cards look rushed. Hope they don't make this set again.

yeah i hear ya. here is a pic for you to look at

those are his total yards from 06

thats the only reason i can't justify the money. they are claiming that the base /99 or something of that effect are true rookies but I dont see an 07 product being for the 06 rookie class but hey thats just me

I've seen a video break of a bunch on boxes. Most of the jersey cards that were pulled were one color. For the kind of $$, I would expect prime patches, or at least two different colors on the duals. Those double and triple jersey cards don't do too much for me if the jersey is all one color.

Plus, sticker autos? Isn't a FULL SEASON enough time to get on-the-cards autos? I mean if Press Pass can do it...

I have a pack due in my hands any day now. I personally like these. I like the layout. Personally, I could care less about the stats posted on the back of the card. Hoping for some MOJO like this one:

Will post my results as soon as I get them.

I think certain cards look very nice, other look just like Triple Threads (which I hate the look of)
the Leinart/Young in the last post has a very nice design to it. I think the dual gu stuff has a much better look than the triple.

I am wondering if those arent college stats, I havent actually invesitgated it, but I saw a Cutler that had a passing stat of over 3,000 yds. did he actually rack up that many yards in 06??

and I agree, Topps shouldnt charge the same price as Exquisite if they cant get away from the sticker AU

[thenext54]

just found a thread on Beckett where they discuss the stats. they are college stats. has some nice scans as well.
