After I had received my autographs from Tim mangled in the mail back in 2012-ish, I decided to give him another shot in 2022. He still had quite a few cards that I had wanted to get signed, and some great set needs that appeared after the fact.
Although his Action Packed 1992 was not a set need, it’s a beautiful action shot of him playing with his notable reckless abandon, amazingly after his broken leg in Super Bowl XXIII left him with a metal rod down his leg. There’s a lot of great detail in the photo, with even a ‘waterboy’s’ face slightly out of focus- but watching in awe alongside a Bengals player.
A couple of more cards that I wanted to get autographed of Boomer here. I’m glad to see he’s still signing and not stamping anymore. I’ll probably make one final pass at him later for a few last cards. He just had so many great cards during this period.
I saw Jordan Shipley at Boot City a few clicks from my house that day. I didn’t have any cards of him since he had recently tapped me out. Thankfully Nate was there and he always has a stock of cards I just don’t have. He gave me these three and I was able to call it a day. I liked the Press Pass cards from around this time period. Too bad they went out of business shortly afterward.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
