The injury/benched prediction pack.

2013 Topps Platinum Football is one of the best looking sets of its year. I was pleased when I pulled a pack of that series from my FairField Football 10 pack value box, in which I paid approximately $1.18 per pack.

I like the fact this series made the rookie cards extra special by making them Chrome. I'm hoping to pull a Frost Chrome rookie base Refractor parallel or better of the Dallas Cowboys Joseph Randle.


Base Cards

  • 22 - Stevan Ridley

Ridley, the New England Patriots only solid running back, tore his Anterior cruciate ligament and Medial collateral ligament on October 12, 2014 in a game against the Buffalo Bills, which ended his season.

  • 28 - A.J. Green

Despite missing 3 games, and being mostly benched for 2 other games, Green still recorded his 4th consecutive 1,000 yard season in 2014.

  • 38 - Jay Cutler

Cutler lead the entire NFL... in turnovers during the 2014 season, in which he threw 18 interceptions, and lost 6 fumbles.

  • 110 - Andre Ellington [RC]

Here's yet another player that was injured in the 2014 season! Ellington was placed on injury reserve after week 14 due to an injured hip.


I may have not pulled a Frost Chrome rookie base Refractor parallel or better of the Dallas Cowboys Joseph Randle, but at least I pulled a mint Stevan Ridley card, which has been added to my permanent collection.
