In typical fashion UD is recycling the pack design from their 2010 baseball and hockey offerings. The back of the wrapper states that autographs of Star Rookie & Lettermen Signatures can be found 1:36 packs. 20th Anniversary cards are inserted 1:4 packs.

The recycling didn't stop at the wrapper as last year's baseball and hockey card design is replicated here. I forgot that UD only had a collegiate license. At least in typical UD fashion the photography is clean and sharp.

Not a bad looking insert here. I'm sure some Notre Dame fan out there will appreciate this card.

I won't pretend that I know much about football history period. According to the back this guy was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987 after helping USC win the National Championship in 1967.
These aren't too bad. If I'm buying football cards I would rather the players be in their NFL uniforms. I can see how this set may appeal to some collectors and college football fans, but these aren't for me. All of these cards are available for trade. Heck, send me a SASE and you can have a card or two!

Wow. I'm speechless. This is on par with the HIT stuff you see at the dollar stores. I can't believe this is the same company that put out... well... I just can't believe Upper Deck is still in business, I guess.
I just opened a Hobby box of this and I'm not thrilled. Cards are just basic and so are the inserts. I just wanted to give it a shot, but it was pointless. Never even heard of many of the guys in it.
I agree with both of you. I won't be buying anymore of this. And to think I grabbed this over a pack of 2011 Topps Heritage!
That was dripping with gay sauce.
