First Look: 2009 SPX Football


Well, we finally get to see what’s up with SPX, and I am still waiting to find out the exact details of the Shadow Box Card. From this preview I have two guesses. Either it will be a regular and plexiglass card put together, or the card will be like an actual shadow box with the auto area being recessed from the top of the card with some sort of acetate or glass covering it.

The rookie auto cards dont look all that great in this preview, though I am very glad that they dont spell out “SPX” anymore. Not really sure how these will turn out, but based on this Crabtree, color me underwhelmed.
The true star of this preview is the “Rookie Materials” card, which I think looks awesome. Im just hoping they dont all contain the goofy “helmet off” pics that I hate.
Lastly, doesnt look like the triple material cards look any better than last year’s, with the odd balance of the swatch windows. I wish they would all be on the same side, or balanced a little better.
This product has some potential, but I will have to see final products of the shadow boxes and the RC autos before I make a final judgement.
