NOTES:

Greg had some sexy cards for a defensive lineman. The Action Packed cards of him were really nice, and I didn’t even send the Pro Set ones! I love that Action Packed 1991 with his hands up there being blocked out by Mike Webster. Great card.

I always felt like these were going to make their way back to me. Greg usually clocks in at about a year on average for his returns.
