Here are packs 9-12 of my box of one of the late-90s better brands. (Still apologizing for the white space on the scans. No matter how I try to crop it, the new version won't save.)
Pack 9
As a Packers fan, this pack with 3 Bears makes me a little bit ill. But a young Curtis Martin is good.
Pack 10
Two bruising running backs that I really enjoyed watching back in the day highlight this pack for me. I'm surprised to see Tony Banks in a running shot. I don't remember him as a running quarterback. Actually, I barely remember him
standing, now that I think about it. Adrian Murrell makes another appearance in a photo that I absolutely love, this time as a cameo on little Wayne Chrebet's card.
Pack 11
Desmond Howard will always have a place in my heart as the MVP of the first Super Bowl the Packers won in my lifetime. A card commemorating that performance is awesome as well. I'm realizing as I go through this box just how much I watched Chris Berman on NFL PrimeTime. His nicknames are the first thing I think of for so many of these guys, such as Amani Toomer.
Pack 12
A couple of Hall of Famers and a beloved Packer in this pack.
Well, we're now halfway through this box. Based on the odds and number of cards, I expected to complete 93% of the set (if there are no dupes) and pull 4 inserts. At this point, I have pulled 3 inserts and have completed 46% of the base set. No dupes so far. We'll keep it rolling next time.
