Packers Vs. Lions by MoPack626
Last updated on May 29, 2021

Out of the Packers' North Division foes, this has the least amount. I cannot say that I'm surprised by this since Packers-Bears and Packers-Vikings have stronger and lengthier rivalries. However, I did think that there would be more on this list than my Packers-Buccaneers list since the Packers have played the Lions a lot longer than the Bucs. Of course, my Buccaneer list has more than the Bears and Vikings list, too. If you spot any more in your collections, let me know.

Update: After several updates, the amount on this list is comparable to my Packers Vs. Bears and Packers vs. Vikings lists.

Packers Vs. Bears by MoPack626
Last updated on May 29, 2021

What I'm trying to do is to create a list of cards where the Green Bay Packers--my favorite football team--are playing the Chicago Bears. Specifically, the player featured on the card needs to be a Packer and somewhere else in the card image at least one Bear needs to be present; the majority of the player doesn't need to be present, just as long as it is fairly clear that it is a Bears player. Also, I'll exclude parallels and other cards that recycle the same image in other sets such as Topps Chrome or all the Longevity variants.
Why am I doing this, you may ask? Well, when I was a kid, my brother--a Bears fan--and I would try to find these cards. Of course, we tried to see if the card displayed any bad looks on each other's teams (a sack, turnover, penalty, a good offensive play, etc.). I also did this with my friends who were Dolphins, Bills, Eagles, and Vikings fan respectively. I remember having a lot of fun doing this (not sure if it will be the same now, but we'll give it a go). Now, as I have been looking over my Packer binders, I've noticed more of these cards and wanted to list them. I've also noticed that a select amount of Packers' opponents are featured, so I want to see what opponents are featured the most on Packers cards. Eventually, I want to see if I can spot all of the teams on Packers cards, but I'll start here with their most famous opponent since I started this "list" when I was a very young collector.

Packers Vs. Buccaneers by MoPack626
Last updated on May 26, 2021

This is another list of cards that feature a Packer player with a common foe. This time I selected the Buccaneers because they were at one point in the same division as the Packers--the old NFC Central. I also created this after creating my Packers-Lions list; I originally thought that my Packers-Lions list would be significantly longer than my Packers-Bucs list. I was wrong by a long shot. In fact out of the all the division opponents from the NFC central (and now NFC North), there were more than the other three (Bears, Vikings, and Lions). I'm unsure why, but I have on particular theory: warm, sunny weather makes for great photos and a very attractive place to live and work. This is even more apparent when we'll see an AFC opponent commonly featuring Packers, more so than usual at least. That's what I think, but what do you think?

My final comments on this list are on the high frequency of Reggie White showing up on these cards (24 in total). This one baffles me even more than the above; why did the card companies think that it would be a good idea to feature Reggie in an image with a Buccaneer? Any guesses?

Packers Vs. Vikings by MoPack626

For my second list, I’ll create a list of cards where the Green Bay Packers--my favorite football team--are playing the Minnesota Vikings. As stated in my previous list, the player featured on the card needs to be a Packer and somewhere else in the card image at least one Viking needs to be present; the majority of the player doesn't need to be present, just as long as it is fairly clear that it is a Vking player. As usual, I'll exclude parallels and other cards that recycle the same image in other sets such as Topps Chrome or all the Longevity variants.
I had a lot of fun creating the Packers vs. Vikings list. Just for reference, I found 126 in my collection of 8,000+ Packers. I’m sure I’ll add more as my collection grows, but this number at least gives me a base (about one card out of hundred).
Why did I select the Vikings for the second list? First, one of my best friends throughout elementary, junior high, and high school loved the Vikings, so we often verbally sparred on this matchup and liked it when we found cards that had both teams on the same card. (Looking back, I think it’s odd that my only brother liked the Bears and one of my best friends liked the Vikings). Secondly, these teams are fierce rivals, and in some ways even more than the Bears one, especially in recent decades. Without further adieu, I present Packers vs. Vikings.

Packers Vs. Dolphins by MoPack626
Last updated on May 25, 2021

This choice to feature Dolphins vs. Packers may seem odd since the Dolphins are in the AFC, but as I was rummaging through my Packers collection looking for Packers that feature their NFC North (and the old NFC central), I noticed an unusual amount of Dolphins. This makes me wonder why these two teams are often in the same image. My guess is similar to my explanation on my Packers Vs. Buccaneers list: Miami (another Florida locale) is a very nice place to live (more ideal than Green Bay), and as such a lot of free-lance photographers live there and work there--thus providing a lot of images of Green Bay Packers. That's my best guess. What's yours? Are a lot of Dolphin players on your cards? More than usual?

NFL Players Donning the Fighting Irish Uniform by MoPack626
Last updated on Jan 20, 2021

This list is to help a fellow TCDB member (David657) create a more robust wantlist for his Notre Dame collection. We're looking for any NFL players who are wearing Notre Dame uniforms. Since some ND alum are pictured with their college uniforms but only connected to their respective NFL team, this has been a list created mostly by scrolling the images, a "visual" checklist if you will. (If you do know of a better way of identifying these cards, then please let us know.) Included in this list are mostly base set and insert cards; s/n are mostly excluded as well as autos and parallels. If you have any spare time, review the list and if you notice a NFL player donning a Fighting Irish uniform that is not listed here, then comment below and help us find more. Thank you!
