Nice! Yeah UD was usually on point with their photography. I definitely miss that in the modern era.
Always looking for high end Nuggets cards, current players and Rare 90's/00's!

That second one is a great photo, I think that's the same photo they used on his SP Authentic Profiles insert.

You mean you're not a fan of only getting good photography in a single release themed around great photography? :P

I will say, Panini's photography isn't always awful, but even when it's good or great, they're putrid with their use of borders, cropping, and zooming. Their designs usually make the rare good photos they use underwhelming.
