BEST MEMORABILIA INSERT

WINNER: NATIONAL TREASURES CENTURY MATERIALS

There are memorabilia sets with bigger swatches or with more variety, but you won’t find a better checklist than this Century Materials insert. With 100 cards, the list isn’t hurting for legendary names with Barry Sanders, Bob Lilly, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, John Elway, Dan Marino plus many current stars. There are no rookies. The swatch is average size, but many cards have patches. There are six tiers numbered to 99, 49, 25, 10, 5 and 1 plus a 1-of-1 printing plate.

CLOSE SECOND: PANINI PLAYBOOK GAME OF INCHES

You can always count on terrific-looking memorabilia cards in Playbook. The brand’s large patches and landscape-style booklet cards are easy to recognize. These Game of Inches cards have a die-cut player images fighting or diving for the next inch. One panel has a patch swatch and the other has a regular jersey swatch. There are just 12 cards numbered to 25 and a Gold parallel numbered to 10. While the player list isn’t amazing, the design and swatch size sets it apart.
