ACQUIRED: IP 2022, Big Hits & Politics Book Signing

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

Richmond was one of the last of the former players to arrive. I was very happy to meet him again after the Houston Fan Fest about 10 years prior. Bam Bam egged me on Twitter to come on out to the event, telling me that, “He’d be there,” As incentive to get me to make the drive from Austin. Very personable and easy to talk to, we covered a variety of topics in a short amount of time before I had to go.

He’s no longer a member of the Texans Ambassador program. That ended about a year ago. Now that the franchise is old enough, they have their own history and players.

Richmond inked these 4 cards, plus two others that were consignments for friends. I had probably 10 other cards, but I didn’t want to overload him. I think he acknowledged that by letting me know that he’d be up in my neighborhood maybe this year to watch a Dolphins game with a fan group and would give me a heads up.

I’m looking forward to it.

NOTES:

I mean, wow, of the 85 cards and variants of cards that Jacques had, he didn’t have but a handful of unsigned cards. On top of that, he had just one XFL card- A very, very low print Topps XFL Now 2020 card that demands way too much on the secondary market. I went ahead and printed out some great looking photos of him that Jacques was more than happy to sign for me.

Topps XFL 2001, #71

NOTES:

Keith was kind enough to include a copy of his Fellowship of Christian Athletes card. The Topps XFL 2001 set at first was one I really hated, but over the years, it has really grown on me.
