NOTES:

I had made a card of KD thinking he might show up at one of these events and I was happy to add him alongside Speedy Stevenson on a few cards at a very, very hot event that was outside before the last game of the season. He really liked the card and I gave him the rest to keep. The additional cards I made of him didn’t arrive in time unfortunately.
