NOTES:

I honestly wasn’t too keen on Nate Boyer appearing in person, but my friends were eager to get him on something.

Boyer didn’t have any cards produced, so I figured a hack Monumental Moments would do the trick. I think I hit this one out of the park. I changed the plain looking ‘T’ logo to the ‘UT’ one. The only real complaint I had about this card was that in the photo the stadium seating cut off near the top, and so it looks like an error to the finely trained eye.

Nate really liked the card. -In fact, everyone liked the card. It caused such a stir that the 3 extra I had included quickly got traded away and other people started asking about these cards. One of the people there who works for a local card shop traded an extra card he had made of Boyer so I could have two different cards as well. I think Mark had a nice time soaking in all that positive energy for me that day.
