NFL Museum Collection is a premium issue. The cards are printed on heavy white stock with an action pic on the front and career stats (college or NFL) on the reverse. Also included on the reverse is a synopsis of the player's career/highlights.
The front of the card is glossy with silver foil on the base cards. Parallels have gold foil and a different color to the outline on the card.

NFL Museum Collection is a great issue for the player collector. Several parallels to be had of each player - including some of the historical figures - Eric Dickerson, Troy Aikman, Joe Montana to name a few.
Museum Collection is priced at about $210 per box here in O'do. One might find it a bit cheaper on the net somewhere - could take a bit of searching.... I would have liked to have seen a few more base cards in each mini box - maybe enough to get one to a 20% level of the base set. One will have to be pretty fortunate to get a return on their investment - if they are only buying the box to resell. My suggestion - buy the box to collect the cards and get cards to trade for your personal collection.
The parallel set builder will have a tough go of it - if my box is an indication of the number of parallels in a box. The blue parallels are numbered to just 99 - would be a cool set if one could compile it. (This gets me back to my soap box of Topps offering a 'reward' of some kind to the individual that could complete the blue insert set - I don't believe that there would be over 5-10 complete sets ever built -- rant over.)
Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott - on the card auto - and numbered to just 25 - how cool is that card? Enough said!
Overall grade A -- excellent dual auto! Needs more base in the box!
Go buy a box or 3 and work on your personal collection today!
