The Drool Gallery: 2010 Certified Football

Just when I feared the work week would end without just one more slobber-knocking ensemble of images, along comes Panini America Production Manager Stephanie Carlson Friday afternoon to the rescue.

I intercepted Carlson, who was fresh from the packout vendor across town, as she made her way back to customer service with a jaw-dropping bounty of collection-making gems from 2010 Certified Football. So I did what any self-respecting  collector would do: I wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth and proceeded to scan the cards so I could share them with you.

I think you’ll find, like I did, that 2010 Certified Football is nothing less than one of the most captivating football releases of the season. See for yourself by picking some up when it releases on Wednesday. Until then, check out the following gallery, which we present in all its glory for your viewing pleasure.
