The NIL Era ... Yay or Nay?
The NIL Era ... Yay or Nay?
Friends,
When I originally heard about the NIL rules, my first thought was, what does this mean for cards (of course, LOL)
At first I was hesitant because I really didn't know how the card companies were going to handle it - like, would all the cards just be Leaf special order stuff, players' personal websites, no packs/boxes, etc.
But now after I've seen some of the early products - 2021 Pro Set College Football and 2021 Bowman U come to mind - I gotta say ...
I like it.
One of the most frustrating things about having a college collection - case in point for me, USC - was that obviously you always had to wait until a player was headed to the pros to add him to the PC.
Now that these NIL cards are showing up in regular retail products, it's fun knowing you might have some cards of guys playing in schools in real time.
And if you keep these NIL cards in a separate box like you would Bowman baseball or whatever, it might be fun to look through them every so often to see if one of these guys broke out.
