Gotta love the foil SP's of the 1990's. Some classic RCs have been made in these foils - Derek Jeter (93 SP), A-Rod (94 SP) are two of the most iconic ones that come to mind. One of the less iconic ones, possibly because it's football is this:
1993 Jerome Bettis SP RC - Sweet foil card, scan doesn't really catch the foil on this card in the right way, but it's a super sweet card. Not to mention, Jerome Bettis was a pretty good running back and a class act off the field. Plus is preserves an era that I haven't witnessed in my sport spectating lifetime - NFL in LA. I guess Upperdeck loved the 90's SP designs so much they felt the need to reprint them in 2008:
2008 SP Rookie Edition Auto Dennis Dixon RC - Terrible Scan, nice auto (even though it's a sticker). I like this card and the SP Rookie Edition cards are pretty cool in football. In baseball they are a little difficult because they aren't "rookie" cards and most of the best rookie cards come out of Bowman Chrome, but football isn't as hard to determine a player's "rookie" year because it's just when they are drafted. Anyway, nice card! Super nice with an auto! I love exclamation points!

I love the 90's foil cards like SP. I dated a girl briefly in the 90's that was big into collecting Notre Dame football cards and I can remember how excited she was when she bought the Bettis SP RC.
