“ Meh. Not really sure what Pacific was going for here...I can't tell if it's supposed to be a whiteout theme (like SP Authentic) or if it's just a washed out scan. I don't know enough about football to know if the shadow border around his name is team colors or just randomly different. If it's the former, that's not too bad, but if it's the latter, then I would not like that at all. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This may be the worst card ever. I'm hard-pressed to find anything redeeming about it! ” -dilemma19

“ Nothing paramount about this design. ” -carthage44

“ Looks like he's playing freeze tag. ” -NJdevils

“ Subtract some points for foil lettering, at least this you can sort of read. Can't tell is that the team name under the player name? Needs clear team name and team logo would be nice. Moving on to the back mostly somewhat OK except obvious only one year of stats, minus several million since the stats are vertical not horizontal. Ugly looking card did I say it was ugly? NO? Well it is Ugly. ” -captkirk42

“ I love the Pacific sets from this era, but the color foil parallels in some of the sets are enough to drive a person mad. ” -switzr1

“ Do the Hustle! Do do do do do do do..... ( I got nothin') ” -Kaline6

At the time I really liked the Paramount sets. However they didn't hold up at all, as this design is pretty bad. The front is okay, but I don't like the foil. The back is just ugly. One of the worst color schemes I've seen on a card, terrible use of stats (takes up too much space vs. how little stats are actually shown), not much of a biography, and the slanted name and team takes up too much space. I'd also probably switched the Paramount logo (and make it smaller) and the team logo around. I do like that the photo is different from the front and you can see his face, so that gets points.
