NOTES:
The very first card I created for the TNT XFL set was Luq’s. I was confident that I could get it signed TTM from him via the Steelers, but I never got a response.
I’m glad that I scoured the roster of the Battlehawks before I met with Justin, as it reminded me that Luq was on the team now. I still have 3-4 Brahmas left to graph from that ’23 team, but I was really glad to add Luq on his card. When the players came over to sign, I wisely had 2 sharpies to help move them along quickly. When Luq came up to me, I said to him, “Hey baby. I bet you thought I forgot about you.”, And handed him his encapsulated card and one to sign. He smiled. I could tell he really loved the card.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
