NOTES:

I love the UT Upper Deck 2011 set but there’s a lot of missing names so I decided to ‘hack’ out the set for a few more players- which turned out to be about 100. As I was going along I wanted to turn it into a living set, and in conversation, Marcus’ name came up.

Apparently Mark’s daughter plays volleyball with his daughter, so it was easy to get, if I came up with the card. Mark and him were pretty impressed by my choice of card. It was a bit on the dark side, and for some reason the orange horizontal lines are missing or too thin to see, but otherwise it came out nicely.
