Great card here of Shawn. Unless there were other team printed cards of him, this would be the only card that was produced of him. What a gem. Not sure if the 9 FF were a typo, but that’s an incredible feat if true.

Gray, Quinn (2)

CARD: Frankfurt Galaxy Team Issue 2003
ACQUIRED: 2022, Private Acquisition

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

Just a lovely card with a simple, yet dynamic design and great photography. Quinn was one of the more recognizable names from this acquisition I made from a friend of mine- CFLFanInPhilly.

I was really touched by his willingness to part with these cards at an affordable price. He also told me that he’d been approached by college team set autograph collectors who offered to buy the cards out separately from their favorite teams, but he wanted them to go to someone who’d actually value all of them based on their appreciation of Spring Football.
