Year: 2005
Set: Topps Turkey Red (Rate)
Card: #60 Chad Pennington
“ Blah! But if it makes money and keeps Topps in business, I hope someone bought these. ” -NJDevils
“ Love the early Topps Turkey Red retro designs. Except for using the old tobacco vintage standard of just putting the player's last name on the front and team city/league. Some people are annoyed about the lack of stats. I let that slip for retro sets like this since stats on the back started around the 1950s and then only the previous year's stats with career total. ” -captkirk42
“ HUGE fan of the Turkey Red cards! ” -carthage44
“ Turkey Red is growing on me. Not my favorite but no longer an auto pass-over. ” -Brimose
“ As I've mentioned before, I love the Turkey Red as much as I love the A&G's and the Topps Heritage cards; they make excellent signature cards. I always liked how the back was laid out in the old early-1900s design too. ” -jasongerman9
“ The Turkey Red card design is nice. I'm okay with not having stats on the back. I recognize his name, but I'm not much of a football fan, so no comment on Pennington. ” -dilemma19
“ Gee, I hope they have endless variations of this card, meh ” -hphillips
“ I was much more of a fan of the Turkey Red cards as an insert set and not a full blown release. That said I like that Topps went crossover and put out a football set. I was really hoping they would put out a Football Allen and Ginter set before they lost their license. ” -cynicalbuddha
“ A great looking portrait/painting, but as a trading card, I would need to see it in hand. It looks great, but I don't see a card looking at it. ” -muskie027
“ The Jets haven't had a quarterback since Joe Willie. All these others are impostors. (I think Pennington's about to trip over his own feet!) ” -Sportzcommish
“ Chad Pennington is from Knoxville, Tenn., where I grew up, and was in high school about the same time as me. Saw him play in the playoffs one year. Did very well despite not having a great arm. Always displayed great class and sportsmanship. ” -joshthurman
