2009 Upper Deck Football Heroes Retail

As I patiently wait for Allen & Ginter '09 to hit retail stores, I've been keeping busy with this year's Football Heroes set from Upper Deck. Here's one of the many packs I've purchased this week.

#46 AJ Hawk

My only beef with the design is the border overruns the card.

#13 Drew Brees

#195 Tyson Jackson

Jackson was the Chiefs' first round pick...

#153 Josh Freeman

I went to graduate school with a guy named Josh Freeman...I never saw him throw a football but I doubt he was as good as Kansas State's Josh Freeman.

#248 Jack Ham

My favorite cards in this set are the Legends...they should really just make an "old timers" set one day.

#471 Joe Namath/Brett Favre
Artist: Ron Adair

I can't talk about this card.

I love these cards. I really like the football shaped cutout.

The autos however, are horrible. On card, which is great, but they failed with the blue sharpie...

Man, that Jets card is awesome looking!
