I always really appreciated Blair’s Fleer 1990 card from his college days. It’s a great shot of him, and as since Fleer has slowly become a set need for me, I decided to send this out to him. As a teenager, I think I liked this image so much I drew a picture of it.
Blair used to be a non-signer. Then he started signing everything TTM. But after a long break, he’s just now down to one per request.
I had thought that at some point over the years, outside my Patriots Blitz back in the early ’90s (when the team truly stunk), that I had gotten Greg on a few other trading cards- but I had not.
The Gameday one is one in which I had a Mandela Effect about. I swore that I had gotten him on this card sometime ago, and that he also had a Skybox 1992 Impact card. (That one turned out to be Hart Lee Dykes.)
Also the Topps Stadium Club 1992 card is one that I was particularly sore about for sometime. It is a photo of him catching a TD against the then HOUSTON Oilers, as the Patriots upset them for the win at Foxboro. (I had to go to school the next day, eat crow, and pay out a 20 buck bet.)
Well I thought I was going to this event but my wife made me scrap my plans at the last second. In stepped in my friend Mark in a pinch. He helped me knock out Tony on my set needs and then quite a few others, that he just had extras of. He knocked out the Skybox, Pro Set, Action Packed and Fleer needs just like that.
I hadn’t gotten any cards of him in his Jets uniform, so this one was an added bonus in a time I wasn’t collecting. Topps Stadium Club’s logo was a product of the time- as the late 90s was all about looking edgy. Lol I absolutely hate it.
Tony’s Score 1990 is an oddity. He feels like an afterthought in the set as he’s the final card after all the 1990 Rookie cards.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
