Box Break Results
Base Cards
The base cards have a very clean look to them. The photography on the card is crisp and clear. The white bordering that surrounds the photo makes the player stand out more. I really like the combination of mixing football legends with War Heroes and U.S. Presidents.
Short Print Cards
There are 10 Short Print Cards in this product which are cards #111-120. We pulled Jack Chevigny who was a U.S. Marine in World War II.
Mini Cards
There are 24 Mini cards per box. The Mini cards have the same design and look as the base cards on the front and back. We pulled 1 Mini Parallel card of Bart Starr numbered out of 25.
Parallel Cards
The Parallel cards have the same design and look as the base cards except for the coloring on the borders and letters. We pulled 4 Parallel cards: Charlie Ward #63/75, Fritz Pollard #3/25, Joe Perry #10/10, and Elroy Hirsch #2/5.
T4 Limited Edition Cabinet Card
Each box includes 1 Cabinet Card that measures 3 1/2 x 5 inches. We pulled Terry Bradshaw/Rocky Bleier #5/50.
Autograph Cards
The Autograph cards have the same design and look as the base cards on the front and back. The autographs are all sticker autographs. We pulled Christian Okoye #57/75, Ray Guy #39/75, and Bobby Douglas #25/50.
The best hit of the box. You get 1 Cut Signatures card per box. We pulled Junior Seau #28/50. The card has a solid blue signature on it which blends in well with the photograph used.
Final Thoughts
The premier edition of Tristar Obak Football provides an excellent overview of the history of the game. This product boasts a 120 card base set that includes 10 short prints. Collectors will enjoy reading the card backs with all the history and information provided. That is truly a lost art in trading card production. This product answer questions like why is the Hall of Fame in Canton, who is considered the father of modern football, how many U.S. Presidents played collegiate football, what is meant by the term, "The Heidi Game,” and more interesting trivia about America’s favorite sport.
