I mean, it’s a bit smeared which is fine with me. Of all the cards I sent him last time, this was the one he didn’t sign. It was the last one I needed autographed, so I didn’t want to trouble him again and just picked this one up off of eBay for a cheap price.
I figured since Bruce doesn’t sign TTM that going ahead and securing a set need via eBay was in order. Since I started back up in 2010, I’ve been kicking myself because the only time he did sign for free last I looked was back in 2014/5. Nothing since.
Bruce remains one of the few original holdouts and believes that the Oilers logo, team name and history should be returned to the city of H-Town. The Texans have acknowledged this and have tapped him to do a few voiceovers and promos for the team.
Some of these guys are getting impossible to get, so I’ve had to rely more and more on my ability to identify authentic and fake autographs through eBay. -I absolutely hate it.
I had forgotten that I had acquired Lee from a private acquisition sometime way, way back in 2014. I disliked the Upper Deck 1993 so much that I delayed posting it and had forgotten I’d already written up a snapshot of Lee in 2016.
Chipping away the Fleer 90 and Pro Set 89 were two I were after. Strangely I don’t remember seeing these two cards in the wild. It’d be years later I’d get a Fleer 90 box for like 10 bucks. Smelled like cigars, but hey, I knew what his card looked like. Still have the Action Packed, Gameday 92, and I think a Score Supplemental floating around out there to get autographed though.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
