Bo Scaife played collegially for the University of Texas from 1999-’04.
ACL injuries held him out in two years, but he managed to haul in 75 catches for 997 yards and 5 TDs.
Selected in the 6th round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.
Bo developed well into a pretty reliable target at TE over his career never failing to catch less than 29 passes a season.
In 2006, became the only TE in NFL history to catch a TD, rush for a TD, return a few kickoffs, and make a tackle on special teams all in one season.
Caught a career high 58 passes for 561 yards and 2 TDs in 2008.
Spent 2011 with the Bengals, where he recorded no catches.
This led to a final off season with the Patriots in 2012, before he retired.
NOTES:
I mean this one was disappointing in the way that I picked this up. I had been working with a friend to corner a few autographs here and there. As future considerations were concerned we exchanged autographs back and forth, but mightily I held an edge, sending him two Ricky Williams autographs. All of a sudden one day, he posts on a Facebook group that he’s no longer doing TTM and just puts everything up for sale, including the Ricky Williams autographs. Before I could reclaim them, he’d already liquidated them. He didn’t really have much to say about not settling up his considerations, so I just laid claim to this one since I’ve never seen Bo sign anything at all- even though he’s a UT grad.
It’s led to me to state a policy flat out to anybody I spot cards for: If they quit collecting or decide to sell their collection, and they still haven’t settled their considerations with me, they have to send those back.

With an outstanding selection, I felt it was appropriate to finish up on James’ cards I still needed. The Pro Set 1989 is an easy one to pick out, but recently I’ve gotten more interested in the much maligned Topps 1990 set. The 1000 Yard Club subset runs a bit over 30 deep if I remember correctly. It really stands out from the base set with its yellow border, glossy front, and an action shot on the front.
I’ve been building up slowly on the Pro Set 1990 Pro Bowl set, with a fair amount more of the AFC squad completed. It’s nothing that I’m truly actively trying to get, but I’m sort of falling into.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
