NOTES:
A not very regular signer, I pounced when I had the opportunity. Unfortunately he only signed 2 of 3 cards, opting out on the Skybox 1992. Still this was one of those rare situations where the Stadium Club card really stood out -so I was happy about that. I collected Stadium Club near the end, not because I wanted to, but because it had the highest production value and pretty high photo quality. I was already onto the ruse that the base set Topps were intentionally low end so that they could charge more for the premium Stadium Club, and this like many sets is partially what led me to not collecting cards for many years after this.
I missed out on getting Ethan during his time with the Raiders when they visited Cowboys training camp back in the day, so I was happy to add him to the collection now on these cards. He was the first calendar to calendar signer of 2022.
