Hello again all. Today I go NFL with a pack from Pacific. The odd part is that the die-cut are the base cards and in this pack the regular shape is the insert.
1996 Pacific Crown Royale
#CR-86 Scott Mitchell (Lions)
#CR-54 Brett Favre (Packers)
The old school team logos are great looking.#CR-92 Charles Way (Giants)
#CR-56 Kevin Hardy (Jaguars)
Charles Way was a big fan favorite here in NY. He was a fierce lead blocker who was very good at catching passes out of the backfield.NFL Regime #NR20 Drew Bledsoe (Patriots)
A couple of the backs.
Over all a cool looking set. The die-cuts look great and are quite sturdy. I couldn't find a check list to check for rookies so I am not sure. Hardy may be a RC and Way also but I can't say for sure.
BY THE NUMBERS:
Total Cards: 5
Teams Represented: 5 Total Cards: 5
Rookie Cards: ?
Sub Sets: 0
Parallels: 0
Inserts: 1 (Bledsoe NFL Regime)
Hits: 0
Keepers for Me: 1 (Charles Way)
MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 7.5 out of 10 Good pictures, nice design, in game photos, great die-cuts, good foil work, old school team logo.
Back Design: 6 out of 10 Nice design, no team logo, good player factoid, no stats
Player Selection: 7 out of 10 Good, All good players and 1 sure to be HOFer.
FINAL OVERALL RATING: 12 Yard First Down Pass (Single). I very much like the fronts of these cards plus 1 keeper makes a first down. With 3 of the 5 cards being QB's it had to be passing.
Thanks for Reading!
When these came out... I didn't like them. In fact I didn't like any Pacific products... because I felt they used too much gold foil. But... years later, the designs are starting to grow on me. Nice pack... especially the Favre.
