Year: 1997

“ This was a nice issue. Curtis Martin was well deserved being elected to the HOF. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ I like this set, design. Team name and position are hard to read. Also didn't realize until I enlarged the image that the garbage I couldn't read under the Pro Line logo at the top left is the set year 1997 with the background color as the inked part. I thought it said something like "collection". Back is OK ” -captkirk42

“ Gets a bit foggy at times in the New England area ... or is that the way the card is supposed to look? ” -BuccaneersDen

“ Nice action photo on the front . . . It is nicely presented and captures the feeling of the ply in process . . . The back is also nice-looking, and makes use of a second photo, which is always a plus . . . ” -georgecf

“ I love the simple design of this set. It really helps by making the player stand out rather than making the whole card over populated. ” -cardcollector65jw

“ I like this picture. Card looks cool too. Overall very nice. Curtis Martin doesn’t get enough credit for his career. Should be mentioned more often with the all time greats. ” -muskie027

My favourite Martin. One of the best to play the position. This is a nice card and one I don't own. I really like the set, something to put on the want list I guess.

Someone asked about fog. I remember this game well. The entire field was covered a layer of fog. Couldn't see the game too well on TV. Even harder for the players. Cool card from a memorable game. ------------------------------- JoeMeloni Topps Photo Variation SP and SSP collector IG: @LongonShortPrints

If that fog is legit, that's probably the playoff game between NE and PIT from the prior season.

I loved playing in the fog when I was in school becuase it added an extra layer of play to the game.
