    2011 Tristar Obak Football
    Configuration: 6 cards per pack. 24 packs per box.


    CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS
    - 11 Guaranteed Hits Per Box

    Tristar presents their premiere edition of Obak football. This product features some of football's greatest legends and Hall of Famers as well as several U.S. Presidents and War Heroes. This product is filled with a variety of vintage and present photography. Some players included in this set are Johnny Unitas, Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Vince Lombardi, Bo Jackson, Kurt Warner, and more more. There are even cards of John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The box is serial numbered #17/1800.


    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.

          Nice review Tim. I really like the look of the Cut Signatures card. Another great product from Tristar. I wish they could do an Obak set for basketball in the future.

            Tim,
            nice review and some nice hits from your box.

            Ever since I busted a box of Obak baseball I got hooked,love the look on these even if they are football which I don't collect.
            Still collecting Frank Thomas in any uni and HoFer G/U & Auto's.

            I do not trade nor buy at "eBay values", unless a card is so rare that it is unlisted.

                Baseball HOFers Autos I need
                Orioles Autos I need
                Baseball HOFers GU I need
                Orioles GU I need
                Vintage Orioles I need 1950s through 1970
                However other offers will be considered

                      Nice review, this was my first look at these cards. They design is good but not great. The parallels were decent but no other real inserts makes the set kind of boring. The auto's on the other hand pretty cool and I do like the selection of signers. Overall I would probably try some and see if it grows on me, lol.
