1991 Pro Line Portraits Signet Series NFL Football - 12 Packs

1991 Pro Line Portraits Football has the distinction of being the first set to include certified autograph cards of many great players and coaches. Included on the autograph checklist are not only rookies of that year and stars from that era, but retired greats and Hall of Fame players. Produced right at the height of an era in the hobby where just about everything was overproduced, values remain in check despite the strong autograph checklist.

One of the characteristics that set 1991 Pro Line Portraits Football apart from other products of the era was the photography. Despite being a fully licensed NFL product, the set gave collectors a more candid, if not even glamorous, look at the league's stars.

Not content to simply deliver on-field action shots or posed images, the product takes a much more relaxed approach. Many players are photographed in workout gear or street clothes. It being 1991, many of these fashions are extremely dated today, giving it even more character. The lighting and angle of the photographs vary greatly providing a unique look to the set.

Fronts use full-bleed photos. A small NFL shield and the product name are the only other design elements.
