Review:
2006 Upper Deck AFL Football (Review
by Ike Newton)
|
|
|

Each sealed box
contains 24 packs/8 cards each pack.
Each box contains
an average of Arena Football League autograph cards
in every box. Look for Duel and Triple signature cards
of your favorite AFL players!

Base Card Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
Base design is
great. I love the design, but the photography could
have been better. Upper Deck did a great job with what
they had to work with.

|
Parallel Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
Not much information
on the packs or box, but pulled these 3 gold parallel
cards #'d /100. They are exactly like the base cards
except they have a gold Upper Deck Logo and have gold
background on the back instead of silver. Again, very
nice design.

Insert Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
There was at
least 1 subset/insert card per pack. Gotta love "Aaron's
Dream Team" Dancers. If these subset cards are
part of the base set, collectors will have a tough time
getting them all.

Game Used Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
Two game used
cards were pulled. Base design with a vintage size game
used swatch in which Upper Deck was known for back in
1999 before the market got hit with a bunch of game
used. Nice addition to the set.

Autograph Scans |
|
|
|
| Comments:
Instead of 2
autographs, we pulled 3. The duel is #'d /35. Not a
fan of sticker autos, but the clear ones are nice because
they don't take away from the card design.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|

|
| I
give this product a 5 out of 5 H.I fives. This box is
very affordable (can find it on the average of $59) and
you see what can be pulled from it. I know you thinking
AFL is a bunch of no-names, but majority are former NFL
players (Cory Fleming; ex-Dallas Cowboys, Marcus Nash;
ex-Denver Bronco, Michael Bishop; (ex-Patriot), etc.).
This is a set for fans of both NFL and college football.
I was VERY surprised with this product. It's definately
something you should check out when you get the pack ripping
urge. |
