Thanks guys....

I think the 1 Cam Newton is a SP... but I cant confirm that...

there are 100 card sin the set... but that is #91 and I didnt get ANY of 92-100

so I am assuming 91-100 are SP's

I like the Mecklenburg & Jackson autos.

Didn't care much for these when I bought them. I think it's the license issue that put me off.

Good Review, though!

Thanks

Great Review,

I agree with everyone else about the BO auto being awesome. I also had same problem you did with amount of serial # cards not adding up. I think the boxes have a misprint.

gotta love on card autos though! I have seen several boxes that did not get two legends as the boxes state as well. I still like the simplicity and on card autos though.
