RE: 2019 Prestige, Elite, and Contenders

I remember attending Raiders training camp back in Darren McFadden's rookie year (2008), and his only cards were Arkansas draft pick stuff.
I got one signed but always wished it could have been on a pro card.
One criticism I do have of rookie cards in general ... I can't stand the Combine/spandex stuff, especially for the linemen ... not very flattering.
I would much rather have a college shot if they don't have a pro jersey shot.
But overall I like this year's Prestige set better than most years.
I thought a cool wrinkle in the 2015 set was when the pro uni RCs were seeded as variations, and the base RCs were college shots.
I was lucky enough to pull Jameis Winston's Tampa Bay SP out of a blaster, it's still one of my favorite cards.

No auto or mem cards, though.
To fill in the set, I got a couple of the $9.99 hanger boxes and got a green Xtra Points auto out of one of them. Both had a numbered rookie parallel to /299 or /399

Hey Josh, if you still want the Josh Allen Elite variations, I could use the Prestige Clelin Ferrell and Josh Allen (Jaguars) RCs ... PM me, thanks!
