In 1992 Topps appeared to be starting to realize that their bland non-premium card designs needed updating to compete with Upper Deck, Pro Set, and the like. They turned out a relatively nice, clean card design, with the player's home field on the back as a nice touch, definitely something different from a simple head shot or team logo. The set doesn't feature anything in the way of extraneous inclusions, sticking to player cards, draft picks, and a few checklists, which in turn means that it includes some of the less famous players or rookies. One rather interesting feature is that many of the league's superstars could not be found in the basic two-series release or factory set. Rather, they came in a separate High-Number series. This was not due to any omission, but rather a result of some of the ongoing licensing disputes with various player representations. Upper Deck and Pro Set both ran into the same issues with their Series 1 releases in 1992, with the bigger names often appearing in the second series. That does, however, make the High-Number series a very compelling little collection in its own right. One minor issue with the draft pick cards is that for some reason, Topps used the NFL's QB rating system and not the NCAA's. However, this was the first time that a QB's card displayed the rating in a basic Topps release, so signals probably got crossed somewhere. All in all, an enjoyable, if somewhat visually basic, NFL set, and one that does suffer compared to other releases if the High-Number series is not included. |
