^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

3, 3, 3 sets in one! Vets, prospects, and chrome prospects -- Vets and prospects - pretty doable sets... chrome prospects - just a bit more difficult. I've been working on my chrome set for a while and am still 15 or so short.... Platinum is a good issue for the set builder (as long as it's not a master set gold, red, blue, and chrome parallels - red, green, blue, xfractors etc.)

Base cards are thicker than normal cards with a foil front. Rookie cards have the RC designation. The reverse has pro stats, personal stats, and a Platinum Report..

My favorite are the Toolsy cards (not real enthused with the name.) I like die cuts. These will be 'edge sensitive' because of the numerous cuts.

Autos - on card and chrome -- excellent !! What more can one ask for?

Overall grade A - not enough chrome prospects.....

Go buy several boxes and send the Toolsy and chrome prospects to me!

They would be nice with a team logo on the front, but I always like the colored parallels from this set, and this year is no exception.
Thank you.
