   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.
