2009 SPX Football Is Live!

2009 SPX is live, and they have already eclipsed last year's horribly conceived neon foil cards in my opinion. Of course, they are still produced on gold foil this year, and im not quite sure how I feel about the final product quite yet. These cards notoriously scan very badly, so I may have to wait to see a few more examples in person.

All I have to say is that the Rookie Materials autos (like the Maclin below) look amazing. I commented that these would be the best back when the previews were released, and so far it looks like I was right. I dont really consider myself an SPX fan usually because of the cost and the design, though the cards do look better than they normally do. Lastly, I would have liked on card sigs for this product, but I know that isnt possible with a pro-uni product this early.



EDIT: Cards like this just look awful, and there may be a lot of them in the set from what are popping on Ebay. I have no idea why anyone would produced a card like this, let alone buy it. Not a good start.

  1. I like that Maclin Rookie Materials auto. Pretty sweet. The others are kinda meh.

  2. It looks like they forgot the autographs on that last card.

  3. I totally agree with Offy. It looks like it was designed to be an autographed jersey card but they weren't able to get the cards and/or stickers signed in time for the product's release.

  4. Took a page out of the Panini playbook on that card with the big space missing the autos.

  5. Why does the Sanchez picture look like they substitued a look-a-like porn star?

  6. Saw my LCS bust a box today, i came away VERY unimpressed. While the patch rookie autos are nice, the generic box hit of a jsy rookie auto looks awful. Not something I am gonna bust.

  7. Those cards look ugly as hell. The only card that's pretty good is the Maclin.
