Andy's Thoughts

Always the first football product to show us the new draft picks, Press Pass is back again with all the top picks. The insert sets are innovative and fun to collect. We probably don't need so many parallels, but the Kick Off cards are just a 36 card d/c subset and Solos are only available in the very rare hobby boxes. Why is the hobby so rare? Press Pass took orders and made just what was ordered as hobby, the rest went as retail so you can expect to pay a bit more for the hobby packs, but pulling a Solo Peyton Manning sure would make it worth the premium.
