ACQUIRED: TTM 2022, C/o Home

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Bruce Kozerski played C at Holy Cross.
  • Selected in the 9th round by the Cincinnati Bengals (1984 NFL Draft).
  • Played all over the line during his career, and as a bonus was the team’s long snapper on placekicks.

  • During the ’91 season, was pushed around the line due to injuries playing all 3 positions on the line.

Pro Set 1989, #519
Topps Statdium Club 1992, #253

NOTES:

Bruce was extremely underrated and underappreciated during his tenure playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. He had some great cards over his career, including this Pro Set card, but for once, Topps NAILED it with their 1992 card. Just a great and inspiring shot of Bruce.

Joiner, Charlie (2)

Crown Royale 2010, #4
Upper Deck 1997 Marquee Matchup, #MM11

CARDS: Upper Deck Legends 1997, Crown Royale 2010

NOTES:

Chased the Upper Deck Legends Marquee Matchup 1997 cards while I could. It’s a great subset, but since- to me- it requires both players to be alive and reasonably obtainable, it’s a bit hard to complete out. This one was a potshot as Steve Largent started signing again, so I was able to get him first and then reload and get Charlie with this Crown Royale card. I like the CR card because the bottom half of the canvas feels like it was deliberately left blank, so an autograph only feels natural there.
