1990 The All Madden Team 58 NFL Card Action Packed Set Rookie Emmitt Smith

Description: This 1990 The All Madden Team 58 NFL Card Action Packed Set Emmitt Smith Rookie is the exact item you will receive and has been certified Authentic by REM Fine Collectibles. The images on 1990 Action Packed Football literally jumped off the card at collectors. With a fully embossed, 3D base set coupled with some pretty spectacular photography, the cards were unlike anything else that had been produced in the past. In addition to the more valuable and more popular 1990 Action Packed Rookie Update series, an iconic All- Madden Team Action Packed set was made from this very same year. Produced in cooperation with the larger than life coach, commentator and football icon, the set took Madden’s unique take on the game and turned it into a trading card product. September 24, 1990 – Thurman Thomas of the Buffalo Bills rushed for 214 yards versus the New York Jets. It was the second highest total in the history of Monday Night Football. October 14, 1990 – Joe Montana set a 49ers record by throwing for 476 yards in one game and throwing six touchdown passes. Jerry Rice set a 49ers record with 5 touchdown receptions and 30 points in one game. October 14, 1990 - Barry Word of the Kansas City Chiefs rushes for a team-record 200 yards against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead. Kansas City won 43–24. November 11, 1990: Derrick Thomas set the NFL single game record of seven quarterback sacks, a feat which occurred against Seattle's Dave Krieg on 1990 Veterans Day. Despite this feat, Krieg eluded a blitzing Thomas on the game's last play and threw a touchdown pass to Paul Skansi, which gave the Seahawks a 17–16 win, their first at Arrowhead Stadium since 1980. December 16, 1990: Warren Moon threw for 527 yards against Kansas City on December 16, 1990, the second-most passing yards ever in a single game. The 1990 cards were dubbed as ‘high profile sculptured cards’ by the company. That is quite a mouthful when describing a football card but back in the day they were pretty spectacular to see.The card design offers a large full color action shot of the featured player with a relatively thick gold border wrapping around the face of the card. The player’s name is outlined in a black outlined box at the top of the card and the team name in the same style is at the bottom. A thin black stripe connects the aforementioned two boxes at the top and bottom of the card and offers a nice framework of the picture itself. The card themselves are quite thick, especially for that era of card design and product, with intentionally rounded corners. The card backs feature a small square mugshot of the athlete with the player’s name and biographical information below. The upper right side card back features the previous year’s stats coupled with the cumulative career stats and a section called Action Note, which, with only a few rare exceptions, gives a play by play account of the picture on the front of the card and then some additional fun facts about the player. To secure the finest action images that met the requirements, we established a network of team photographers, stock houses and the country’s top freelancers. They revolutionized the industry by utilizing embossed printing techniques and tight action photos. We quickly established strong relationships with NFL team PR departments. I spent hours on the phone gathering information from the clubs as we made our final cuts. We delivered our cards to the lockers of each player included in the series. Because we could only select 10 players per team, those featured on our cards were the envy of their locker rooms. I attended numerous events where players lobbied to be included in a future series.” As far as modern day value, some of the most chased and valuable cards are the white “photoless” errors, as well as the prototype samples that are basically a flat version of the card before the card was raised. There are a number of extremely valuable 1990 Action Packed samples and prototypes found in other sports including a gorgeous Michael Jordan that, in high grade, commands hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. 1990 Action Packed Football scores points for the revolutionary design and ingenuity at a time when many cards looked pretty much the same. AP pulled off something that we hadn’t quite seen at this scope and scale and the technology and signature style found on the cards throughout its run in the hobby and that counts for something.
