NOTES:

Ken appears in both Tecmo Super Bowl and the follow up Super Nintendo/ Genesis games as a member of the Packers. Ken had some great cards and among them were these two beauties that I really wanted to add to their respective sets. He still has a few more and I may look into those at a much later date.
