Since 2013, I have been a huge fan of this set. Not only does it offer premium content with on card autographs, but the design has been very well done over the years. It also features a card that has become so popular that many of the other companies are scrambling to rip it off. Hell, Panini made whole products out of ripoffs from Museum Collecction. Alas, this is the final year of the football set, and I am sad to see it go.

The showstoppers in this are always the Metal Framed Autographs, which are some of the best cards Topps makes in football all year. Although there is no Brady this year, they have all the big names, including inscriptions on the 1/1s. These are cards I will always chase, and I really like the way they look with the added white at the bottom of the card. The checklist is pretty strong as always, and I guess I will relegate my chasing to baseball now that its sister product is done.

As for the other cards, I think they range from good to not so good in the way they look. Topps kind of went mega overboard with the black borders, and though it looks okay on some of the cards, others make it look like the player is getting attacked. They definitely tried some interesting parallels and some are worth the risk. Despite the pay off, I really liked the simple marble type background of previous years, and wish they had stayed in that vein instead of going all crazy.

The price tag on a product like this is always an issue for most, as the boxes can be very hit and miss. Its around the same price as triple threads, and you get on card autos in every box. You also have the chance at some really nice content with hard signed autos as well, so I dont see why this is so much less popular than garbage like Threads. The framed autos alone more than make up for the difference, but at one per case, they are severely tough to pull.

In the end, I doubt many people will remember Museum for more than the big case hits, but I dont think that is a bad thing. You know something is good when everyone wants it, and other companies try to rip it off. Hopefully this isnt the end of content like this in football, and I dont think Luxe or whatever shit Panini is trying to use is going to fill that gap.
