NOTES:

Brian had some great cards over the years so it was a hard choice for me on what to send him. He appeared in all the major sets and later, maybe in another 10 years or so I might try him again as there are so many that I still would like to get him on.

He was a great signer 10 or so years ago and then pretty much just stopped. I had his cards in my priority shoe box for a very long time, so I shot these out as soon as he popped up again.

NOTES:

I waited patiently to get AC on all of these and sent out to him in 2019, but failed out. After seeing he was signing again, I went ahead and gave him another shot with a little cash to grease the wheels. All of these are set needs, so I consider these successes a major coup.

NOTES:

Pat played for 17 seasons in the NFL and was blessed with a large selection of cards from the 70s-90s. From this selection here there’s no shortage of great photos that really stand out, in addition to my set needs. His Pro Set 1990 is really great. I love the color and how the dust kicks up under his cleats.
