Adding to the army

Highlights:

Two thirds of the insert set no - well, almost. Nothing much to say that I haven't said before regarding the insert set, just happy to keep moving on this one.

Lowlights:

This card scans a lot better than it is in hand. Unfortunately there is a good bend through the card, bottom middle to left middle of the card so on to my son it goes...though not a huge star so not much of a loss here...no offence Randy...

The rest
Keepers:

I son't know about you, but I have been enjoying Fuller House on Netflix so it's a nice reminder seeing Candace Cameron's brother in law Pavel here. Joke aside, I really like this card design for trophy winners - a good picture of the trophy, name of the aware, and not taking away from a good photo of the player who won as well.

Traders:

Every single one of these Donruss Elite football cards are dupes of ones we have already seen. There are enough holes in the set, I found that surprising. Also surprising - the more I see of Pro Set  Platinum, even in the duplicates, I am enjoying the photography more and more - especially with the goalies, but even across the entire set. Maybe it is just me. Outside of Stadium Club, what other junk sets did you enjoy the photography from?
