2025 Panini Absolute Football Value Pack

Greetings!

Hope everyone is doing well.  In true Ol' Jafronius fashion, I started this post right around the Super Bowl, hence the football pack.  But as usual, life got in the way.  That, and an odd increase in Target hours have taken away my free time.  Anyway, life getting the way isn't new to any of you all; I shall try my best to be better posting, just don't expect it:

Feeling an urge to rip something (remember this was over a month ago), I decided to try one of these out.  Target had a bunch of it so why not; 7 bucks for 20 cards:

#88 - Brandon Aiyuk

#30 - DJ Moore

Bears fans will not forget his catch against Green Bay late last year.  Bummer he got traded to the Bills, but hopefully he'll have a successful run with Josh Allen.

#72 - Rome Odunze

#14 - Marvin Harrison Jr.

With DJ gone, Odunze will need to step up.  He did pretty well last year.  

#39 - Josh Jacobs

#81 - Jonathan Taylor

There's 200 cards in the set, the first 100 are veterans and the second 100 are rookies.

#23 - Brian Robinson Jr.

#66 - Bucky Irving

I checked older posts, and it's a pretty standard Absolute design.  Overall, the design is OK, it's what you expect from Panini.

Bucky is one of the 3 exclusive Blue Parallels.

#7 - Tank Bigsby

#113 - Chimere Dike (RC)

Here are the other 2.  Notice the extra shiny on the rookie card.  

Dike had an OK rookie year, with 4 TDs while playing all 17 games for the Titans.

#18 - Bijan Robinson (Hog Heaven)

#1 - Abdul Carter (Rookie Wave)

Insert time!  Each of those insert sets contain 20 cards, and yes they're shiny too.

#132 Jalen Milroe (RC)

#190 Trey Amos (RC)

A couple more rookies for you.  Trey played 10 games for Arizona, while Jalen essentially rode the bench (but I assume he'll get a ring).

#58 - DeVonta Smith

#99 - Joe Mixon

It's been a while since APTBNL posted an Absolute Football pack; the last one was back in 2020!

#41 - Tua Tagovailoa

#67 - Brian Thomas Jr.

Tua signed with Atlanta after being let go by Miami; the Dolphins owes him over $55 million!

#8 - Sam Darnold

#49 - Christian McCaffrey

We end the pack with the Super Bowl QB and the consistently great (when healthy) CMC.

Here are some backs because March Madness:

Anyway, that's the pack.  Not bad for $7; I don't buy a lot of them so as long as I get some good players I'm OK with it.

Enjoy those College Basketball tournaments, RIP Chuck Norris, and thanks for reading!
