Topps AAF 2019 Certified, #AU-DE

CARDS: Topps AAF 2019 Certified
ACQUIRED: 2022, Private Acquisition

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

This card was a bit of a cop out by Topps. It is almost a complete duplicate of his regular issue base set card, minus a filter or two. Still it was a need for the set as most of the coaches were fetching an insane price in the open market. My friend CFLFaninPhilly came through for me and made me a great deal to help me close out this set. Again, I can not thank him enough.

Greg had some fantastic Upper Deck College Football Legends cards I wanted to get signed. The Decade’s Best and Bowl Game Heroes are some great inserts. Too bad he signed on the back of the Bowl Game Hero card…

NOTES:

Jim quietly had a very successful career playing football. He had some really nice cards. Some of the cards from the 1992 Topps Stadium Club card set were really nice. Case in point, this very poignant card of Jim here on the sidelines. Now I typically hate these photos, but this one has some really nice depth of color.
