Randomly inserted in packs at a rate of one in 72, this 19-card set features color images of two rival players printed on metallic card stock with an embedded medallion struck from an authentic NFL football used by the rivals in the 1996 playoffs. The backs carry the game notes. A Gold Logo parallel version of the regular set with gold foil stamping limited to 10 copies was also randomly inserted into packs. Collector's Edge later released a parallel version with a synthetic diamond embedded into each piece of game football through the Shop at Home network. A Holofoil version was released as well with each card being printed on Holofoil card stock instead of silver foil stock like the basic inserts. Finally, a Proof version (not yet priced) of the Holofoil cards was also printed minus the game ball swatch. The word "Proof" is printed on the otherwise blank cardbacks of this version. [Collapse]
