CARD: Pro Set 1989 ACQUIRED: TTM 2023, C/o Work SENT: 1/17 RECEIVED: 2/13 (27 days)
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
After transferring from Cal St Fullerton, Paul Moyer finished out his college career playing for Arizona State in 1983.
He’d go undrafted in 1984, but catch on with the Seattle Seahawks, starting one game.
In his rookie campaign he had an interception for a TD and 3 forced fumbles.
He’d start his first 16 game slate in 1988, posting a career high 6 picks and 2 forced fumbles.
Unfortunately in 1989 he suffered a career ending neck injury.
He’d be hired as a coach for the team, working with the DBs from 1990-’94.
Since that time he’s worked for the franchise as an analyst for the Seahawks pre and post game coverage.
NOTES:
Sometimes I crawl through the back end of sportscollectors.net and look for players that have fallen through the cracks TTM. I had a very good feeling about Paul. He was a player who boasted a pretty good response percentage, but had dropped off recently after an address change. It just required a bit of grease work to find his updated address. He responded by writing a very nice note thanking me for being a fan along with the autographed card.
Anthony Miller doesn’t sign TTM, so after not seeing anything for him since I got his autograph at a paid signing way back in…. 2015- I jumped at the chance to get him for a very affordable price on all my set needs that developed over the last few years. There might be one or two more in the late future but for right now I consider myself quite sated.
Most of the usual suspects are all here. The Fleer 1990 is very nice, and the ink was absorbed on the canvas quite nicely.
I think the 1989 Pro Set card was a featured photo on the Pro Set 1989 box somewhere. It was one of the lesser known error cards because eventually it was corrected. On the back of his card the stat line incorrectly states 14.8 as his TDs for 1988.
The Action Packed 1990 card also has an error that was uncorrected. In the blurb on the back of the card, Miller’s bio reads that he had 76 catches when he had 75.
I think it’s interesting that Miller’s Gameday card has an empty bleacher very close to him in the background. I suspect that this photo was taken at a training camp.
Randy did some signings around Dallas in the early 20-teens but I missed out on them because they were on such short notice. I got really close a few times to going, but couldn’t bring myself up to calling in sick to go. His cards were grossly overpriced at the beginning of the pandemic even before the prices started shooting up. I knew all I had to do was wait, and I got this one at a bargain for under 10 bucks when the smoke cleared.
Randy was one of the last of the old guard from Tom Landry‘s days. He retired due to injury shortly after Tom was ingloriously fired by new owner Jerry Jones, and Jimmy Johnson was hired.
Randy makes an appearance on the ‘Dallas Wings’ franchise (Tecmo Bowl) on the NES.
