Given how hot Totally Certified basketball is right now, I'm curious about their football release. I can't find anywhere if they will have the same parallels like they do in basketball... does anyone know?

you are too kind my friend.

I was wondering about this too. It doesn't seem to have much hype for their football release...

Basketball and football are two very different markets. Basketball collectors actually collect cards and appreciate scarce, low numbered parallels.... football does not. To football collectors this is just the same set as everything else in a different dress.... its sad really. I, on a side note, am looking forward to the Marino Immortals.

I agree with this. if you go on ebay and look at basketball sales compared to similar football cards there's a huge gap

Here's a great example... Shareef Abdur-Rahim a moderate basketball player... nice long career... not a super star by any means...

Here's a Brett Favre, which actually sold REALLY well compared to what I would expect... I bought my Marino for $40....

By the way, this football card set is BY FAR the most gorgeous set I have ever seen. Its stunning with the etched embossed holographic foiling.
