CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

Yeah so I had a lot more set needs I needed to corral when it came to Mike Tomczak. -Three of them are represented here. He was kind enough to inscribe them as well. Basically this should close the book on any further need to get Mike TTM further.

CARDS: Skybox 1992, GameDay 1992
ACQUIRED: TTM 2021, C/o Work
SENT: 12/13/21 RECEIVED: 2/13/22 (63 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Western Colorado’s very own Sam Seale was a dangerous speed burner who ran track and played RB in college leading the team in both rushing and receiving.
  • The Raiders and Al Davis who always had a love affair with speed, selected Seale in the 8th round of the 1984 NFL draft.

  • In ’87 returned a fumble return for a TD.
  • Signed as a Free Agent by the San Diego Chargers in 1988, and matched career high with 4 interceptions that year.
  • Returned to the Raiders ’92 as a Plan B free agent seeing action in 5 contests.

Skybox 1992, #260

ACCOLADES:

  • Western Colorado HoF 2002
  • Fritz Pollard Award 2017

NOTES:

Getting Sam was somewhat of a coup. An exceeding rare signer, I took a shot at getting him on these two set needs through the Packers.
