NOTES:

Well Kevin was signing at a relatively decent clip recently so I decided to take a shot and sent him a Fleer 90 and a Skybox 92. He sent me neither back and instead dropped in a hideous Upper Deck 1991- which was smeared. I ended up picking up this Fleer a bit later via eBay, but a disappointing exchange nevertheless.
