1996 Leaf – Premier Edition NFL Football Cards

Sealed NFL trading card box, original from 1996. Legends like Troy Aikman, Steve Young or Dan Marino played in the NFL and the Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots at the end of the season in Super Bowl XXXI. A new team was added to the league for the ’96 season: the Baltimore Ravens. After a long dispute over the Cleveland Browns’ franchise rights, the NFL approved a preseason move of the owner from Cleveland to Baltimore, though the franchise naming rights and titles remained in Cleveland. This meant that the franchise had to play under a new flag and the Baltimore Ravens were born. Only 3 years later the Cleveland Browns should start again in the NFL. This trading card box was brought to market by Donruss and is officially licensed by the NFL. For more information see below.
