SET: AAF 2019 HACK Living Set
STATUS: OPEN
ACTIVE: 2020-
CARDS SIGNED: 11 / 29
PRODUCED: 29

BACKGROUND:

With the dissolution of the AAF unceremoniously during 2019, I felt that I could keep the memory alive by creating cards of players and coaches who didn’t get a card in the set or didn’t have a certified card.

I had used my super sleuthing skills to figure out that one of the major vendors on eBay was former AAF coach Andrew Weidinger. He and I had some great conversations about the league and that my website had inspired him. He made me some great deals over the weeks for my sets.

I made some cards for him and his son that I sent him, but during COVID we lost track of each other. -And that’s how this set got started….

I should’ve asked him for one back signed but time just has a way of passing you by. Last I checked he was doing a fantastic job coaching in the ELF. I think he would make a great coach in the UFL.

Anyway over the years as I’ve had a chance or seen a player I could get their autograph from their days in the AAF, I’ve managed to put something together for them.

DESIGN NOTES:

I experimented with the design at first giving the white border a larger area such as with Bill Polian, but in the end I settled on what you see on the majority of the cards. I switched printers officially as well and the quality went through the roof.

As this is a Living Set, I have quite a lot of cards that I hope to eventually get produced and signed. Quite a few of these guys produced for the league and never had a card made, so I hope it’ll be extra special for them. A lot of them are unproduced because I wanted to give every team some love when I made this set as an extension of the AAF shrine.

You’ll notice that there’s two mascot cards in here as well with No Limits Soldier and The Legendary Knight making guest appearances as ‘superfans’. I’ve kicked around the idea of inserting myself into this set, as I did make a Topps Now AAF card of myself, but I just couldn’t find the right framing to do so.
