Smith, Antonio ‘The Ninja Assassin’ (2)

CARD: Hamburg Sea Devils Team Issue 2005
ACQUIRED: 2022, Private Acquisition

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

These cards are slightly oversized postcards. Odd, but nonetheless pretty neat. I was excited to acquire Sea Devils for the collection and on top of that, another card of the Ninja Assassin. My friend CFL Fan in Philly had a large collection that he decided to separate from, and I was able to get these gems and more off of him at a reasonable price after they had been on EBay for a few months.

NOTES:

Well I went all out with a paid signing and got Percy Snow, who is a total no show in the TTM market. Many of these were set needs, and Percy had quite a nice selection of cards during his short playing career.

The promoter happened to be a member of our Facebook TTM group and after promoting and helping some other members nab a few of Percy’s autographs, I went ahead and bought a few more as at the time like many people working from home during the pandemic, I was flush with the extra money.

I really liked the Pro Set 1990 Lombardi Award Winner card. The gold frame above the green, coupled with solid, clean photography. All the other cards are amazingly all set needs, as these all exploded for me during the pandemic.

NOTES:

Kevin didn’t have a shortage of cards, but I really wanted to get his NFLE entries autographed. Unfortunately the only ones he had in the league were Claymores cards. Still nice grab C/o Dartmouth.
