One of the packs we busted in 1995 helped us feel like a little more "rich".
That moment came when we busted some packs of 1995 Summit football. This product had a new feel like no other at the time. It was considered to some 1995 Score Series two but it had not Score feel. It was more of a high end feel. A ritzy feel. A classy feel. A rich feel!

Another great thing about "feeling rich" was the fact you didn't have to spend much to do so. Seven card packs came with a suggested retail price of $1.99.
Let's take a gander at some of these and you will see why I was jumping like Scrooge McDuck.
One of the subsets focused on Defense in Collision Course. Here was my first Deion Cowboys card
Offensive players were featured in the subset, 1995 Offensive Weapons
Rookies really stood out just like
the checklists.
But it wasn't just the base that made me feel rich, the parallels in Summit made me step back and feel like Joey from Blossom, "WHOA!"
The Ground Zero cards fall 1:6 packs and may be a parallel set I try to chase. That's how much I liked them. There are 200 cards to find so it will be quite the chase and for now will remain in the Sets I Am Seeking List.
These high flying Rookie Summit foil inserts took you to new heights and fell 1:12 packs
One insert I wasn't ever fortunate enough to pull or have seen was Team Summit that fell 1:91 packs.
I was so glad to had opened some packs of these and actually opened a full box a couple of years ago since they are going for even cheaper now. Since I am not rich now either, I am talking monetary wise not life wise, it's sometimes nice to be able to take something as small as a pack of cards to make you feel that way.
