NOTES:

Tony Jones WR-DB from Florida (pictured here) is not to be confused with Tony Jones WR from Texas or Tony Jones who played for the Browns- that ALL played around this same era.

Tony’s Ultimate World League card is considered an error because he was listed as a WR, although it could probably be overlooked or forgiven since he did play WR in college. (It is an uncorrected error.)

Back around the time I had gotten ahold of Andre Alexander through Facebook I dug through his friends list and reached out to Tony. At that time I must have said the wrong thing or talked about the success of Fresno State at the World League level. He thumbs downed my conversation starter- so I took that as bad.

Later my Instagram friend Brent was able to get him TTM and said he was pretty cool and wrote him a nice note. I thought I should give him another shot and he signed these two cards for me in no time flat!
