    what did we pull in our box of Press Pass 2010 football

    Base cards, we pulled 91/100 cards for the set



    The photography is top notch and the design is nice and simple. This year's set is a very clean layout. I really like the borderless cards, it directs you to the player

    Power Picks


    The Power Picks is a small 5 card set tacked on to the end of the base set. They are set up to be 1 in every 14 packs or 2 per box. These are nice action shots with the player taken out of the game and put on a team colored background. There is also an auto'd version.
    We pulled 2, Sam Bradford and CJ Spiller

    Reflectors
    [IMG][/IMG]

    Reflectors are a nice parallel set that hasn't changed much over the years. They basically chrome out the background, leaving the player as they are on the regular card. It really makes the players jump off the cards.
    We pulled 2 reflectors and 1 proof reflector.
    Jordan Shipley /500
    Tim Tebow/Aaron Hernandez Teammates /500
    Jason Pierre-Paul /100

    Black and White


    Black and White are another parallel to the base set except they are done totally in black and white coloring with silver foil
    We pulled 1
    Jason Pierre-Paul

    Banner Season


    The final Insert Set is the Banner Season set. This is a 15 card set that is inserted 1:4 packs. This should have netted us 7 Banner Seasons but it didnt. This is a nice looking horizontal set that has the player's action shot and a closeup version of the same shot tinted the school's color.

    THE HITS



    The best thing about the Press Pass sets is the fact that their autos are On-The-Card autos. Like many collectors, I'm not a fan of sticker autos. These cards have nice action shots on the left hand side with a large white space left open for the signature. The school's logo, or the players number will be lightly in the background. The box itself advertises 5 autos per box and this box lived up to those expectations.
    We Pulled, Rob Gronkowski bronze auto, Anthony Dixon bronze auto red ink(sp /50),
    Andre Roberts silver auto /199, Brandon Ghee silver auto /195.
    And our last auto was a Power Pick Golden Tate auto /250


    Final Thoughts
    Press Pass football has done this year what they do every year. And that's create a very nice looking set that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. They feature excellent photography and a nice simple design that seems set up to really emphasize the player. You can never go wrong with on the card autos either.

    The base set is 100 cards. Out of this box we pulled 91 of them with no duplicates. The Power Picks set is 5 cards with 2 per box and we got 2 The Banner Season Insert set consists of 15 cards and we got 6. We also pulled one of the rare Black and White parallels.Press Pass football is a fine product produced by a company that wants to help collectors build rather than rip them off with multiples of the same card

    Here's how I would rate this product;

    •Value = 5
    •Innovation = 4
    •Fun and Experience = 5
    •Rebuy Value = 4

    I rate this product "B+" for Press Pass. It was a fun box to open and i will buy more

    I would like to thank Press Pass and Cardcollectorsworld.com for giving me the opportunity to review this product.

      Nice review Tim. I like the look and background of the power pick cards. The autos look really nice too. I have never seen an autograph signed in red.

              I love the on-card autos, and the base looks sharp as usual. Power Picks looks lacking in comparison to previous years though.

                I always like the on-card concept. I don't like how they have gone away from the holofoil look on the majority of their inserts.
                I am looking for: JJ Watt, Kawhi Leonard, George Springer, Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve, Panini Points...
