TJ Vasher played WR for the Texas Tech Red Raiders from 2016-20.
In 2017-20, he totaled over 500 yards and at least 6 TDs in each year.
He finished his college career with 146 receptions for 1983 yards and 21 TDs.
Going unselected in the 2021 NFL Draft, Vasher was signed by the Dallas Cowboys, but was waived with an injury designation.
He’d be selected by the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL during their 2023 draft.
Over the course of the season he established himself as the #1 receiver despite the team’s felonious quarterback carousel.
Vasher caught 16 passes for 173 yards and 2 TDs on the year.

NOTES:
The season ticket holders next to me got an email from the XFL giving them post game field access. They offered me the chance to go with them and I gambled that I’d be able to get autographs easier from players that way.
I spotted TJ signing near the players home entrance for some fans on the elevated side of the stands. It was easy for me to walk over there and ask him to sign this card.
I was pretty meh about the Sage card. The design is so… low effort. Either the person who designed this has just run out of juice to do this, doesn’t care, or they have an intern handle it. It’s been a disappointing fall for me with Sage since 2017 or so, as their design, quality, and general autograph selection has suffered.
Later I got him on this Panini Legacy card after the Roughnecks game. He was very cool about signing that one. Great card here, and the design is regally Art Nouveau.
I made this XFL custom card of TJ. It took me a few iterations to get to this design and I love it. I think these cards really exude the look and theme of the XFL 2023. When he looked at the card, he said, “Ah! You’re the card guy! I’ll get you when I come back out in a few minutes…” I hunkered down hiding out in the stadium against the protests of the ushers there and was able to get him on my sweet custom. I also gave him a few to keep as thanks.
Gary Plummer played junior college ball before transferring over to Cal where he played NT.
After going undrafted in 1983, played for the Oakland Invaders of the USFL.
The Invaders decided Plummer’s best fit would be at LB- a position he’d play for the remainder of his pro career.
Gary played in 53 USFL contests over his career, lodging 2 sacks, and 6 picks.
Still, Gary was not selected during the 1984 USFL Supplemental Player Draft, so he’d be a free agent after the league folded following the ’85 season.
Signed by the San Diego Chargers, Gary quickly became a starter for the team, as he had strong versatility at the position.
Over his career in the league, Gary started nearly every LB position in 3-4 or 4-3 alignments.
He played the next 8 seasons there in SD, racking up 792 tackles.
At the grand old age of 35, he signed with the 49ers in 1995.
After winning a Super Bowl against his former team, Plummer went on to play for the ‘9ers through the 1997 season.

NOTES:
A member of Tecmo Super Bowl, with some great cards, I thought it was fine time to add Gary to my collection. He has a very nice autograph. I really like the unique curvature of his signature, especially the ‘G’. I appreciate him taking the time to sign my cards, with apparently a pretty fresh sharpie.
