NOTES:
Great cards and autographs of Amari Rodgers here. I remember the Texans back in 2022, picked up Amari Rodgers I felt to try to see if they could lure Deshaun Watson out of his self imposed retirement. (Glad it didn’t work.)

NOTES:
I’m not sure if it’s true or if it’s an urban legend but it’s said that the song ‘Stuck in a Moment’ by U2 from their album ‘Beautiful Day’, was inspired by Scott’s struggles after missing the game winning kick in Super Bowl XXV. The video certainly hints to that as it takes place in a football stadium.
I really feel for Scott. He really took a beating in the media after missing the kick and the Bills unceremoniously dumped him after the 1991 season. Even after his career long ended, he was subjected to autograph hunters that wanted him to sign memorabilia that had to do with the kick, or personalize it with ‘wide right’. How can you move on when you are constantly reminded of it?
Scott obviously really doesn’t sign TTM, so when my friend Rick said he had an extra to give me, I was more than happy to take this off his hands.
The Brahmas for some odd reason didn’t resign Delontae for the 2025 campaign.
He’d sign a game or two into the season with the Birmingham Stallions.
NOTES:
I’ve been deriding the Upper Deck Epack system for sometime, but my largest and almost singular complaint is the cost- especially considering the cost of an Epack is more than a physical card pack and has less or the same amount of cards. Then there’s the added cost of ordering the physical cards… and the wait.
That being said I found something totally fun about it: Trading. I just wish that the community was more active. I’ve been actively after putting together a set to upgrade it to a parallel autograph, slowly whittling it down to the final 10 or so. As I’ve done so, I’ve discovered so many zombie accounts. I’ll put out a fair trade and just sit there and wait… and wait… and wait… and get no response.
I got a few horse trades down with another collector, and so he just threw this one out there for 10 cards. Knowing I am a Brahmas fan and the fact I hadn’t pulled this one yet intrigued me. All of the cards were digital and none really impacted my bottom line, so I went for the deal and scratched Delontae off the list without even going to a game.
Later I figured out I could redeem a set of white cards for an actual printing plate. Silly me, I could’ve done it twice over but I kept ordering the physical cards out. Anyway, lesson learned. With my second redemption pull I was able to get a magenta printer’s plate of Delontae. I was ecstatic.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
