NOTES:
Well, card companies cashed in on Leonard after he got that NFL Player of the Week Honor in 1989 for roughing up the Oilers. He had zero cards before that and then Score, Topps and Fleer all added Leonard in their respective sets for 1990. The shot above from the GameDay card is probably from that game as well.
Before I had cooked up my plan to get a Dave Krieg autograph out of the really jaded collector mentioned in my previous Krieg post, I had sent to him and was dismayed to miss out on a response. Surprisingly he began to drop correspondence in the mail around 2 months before I got this success- after a bit over a 2 year wait.
Note: The Fleer 1990 is an uncorrected error card. Krieg’s name is mistakenly spelled ‘Kreig’ on the front of the card. As it was uncorrected and in high circulation, it’s worthless.
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.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
