Is 2012 Topps really just the offspring of 2002 Topps Football?
2012 Topps #197 Brendan Ryan
2010 Topps Reprint of 2002 Topps Tom Brady

Both of them have the same Hindenberg in the bottom left and really not much else to the design - right up to the fact that neither card has the player position. In this particular example Brendan Ryan and Tom Brady are in fairly similar poses, ball in hand and ready to throw. The fact that Brady can be compared to Ryan may explain his performance in the final quarter of the Superbowl.
Wow! Nice job. I never really collected football. You are right! Talk about recycling. Yeah, monopoly is doing GREAT for creative design... Yeesh.
