Scaife, Bo

Panini Rookies & Stars 2010, #142

CARD: Panini Rookies & Stars 2011
ACQUIRED: 2020, Compensation

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Bo Scaife played collegially for the University of Texas from 1999-’04.
  • ACL injuries held him out in two years, but he managed to haul in 75 catches for 997 yards and 5 TDs.
  • Selected in the 6th round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.
  • Bo developed well into a pretty reliable target at TE over his career never failing to catch less than 29 passes a season.
  • In 2006, became the only TE in NFL history to catch a TD, rush for a TD, return a few kickoffs, and make a tackle on special teams all in one season.
  • Caught a career high 58 passes for 561 yards and 2 TDs in 2008.
  • Spent 2011 with the Bengals, where he recorded no catches.
  • This led to a final off season with the Patriots in 2012, before he retired.

NOTES:

I mean this one was disappointing in the way that I picked this up. I had been working with a friend to corner a few autographs here and there. As future considerations were concerned we exchanged autographs back and forth, but mightily I held an edge, sending him two Ricky Williams autographs. All of a sudden one day, he posts on a Facebook group that he’s no longer doing TTM and just puts everything up for sale, including the Ricky Williams autographs. Before I could reclaim them, he’d already liquidated them. He didn’t really have much to say about not settling up his considerations, so I just laid claim to this one since I’ve never seen Bo sign anything at all- even though he’s a UT grad.

It’s led to me to state a policy flat out to anybody I spot cards for: If they quit collecting or decide to sell their collection, and they still haven’t settled their considerations with me, they have to send those back.

Action Packed Rookies 1991, #73

CARD: Action Packed Rookies 1991
ACQUIRED: TTM 2023, C/o Work
SENT: 11/18/23 RECEIVED: 6/15/24 (203 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • See Also Bryan Cox
  • In 2012, joined the Buccaneers for a 2 year stint as a defensive line coach.
  • Following that Bryan coached DL for the Falcons from 2014-’16.
  • In 2022, Bryan began- coaching with the Giants in 2022 as an assistant line coach.

NOTES:

You know- no risk, no reward. I went ahead and shot this card out as it was a strong set need for me. He had previously sent it back unsigned way back in… 2011. In fact he had sent back any rookie cards unsigned, so the fact I got his Score Supplemental 92 seemed like a win for me since it was that set’s first card of him.

Anyway 200+ days later, here it surprisingly was. A big win for me, and a great card in this set to get autographed.

Thomas, Blair (2)

Fleer 1990, #370

CARD: Fleer 1990
ACQUIRED: TTM 2024, C/o Home
SENT: 1/17 RECEIVED: 1/27 (10 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I always really appreciated Blair’s Fleer 1990 card from his college days. It’s a great shot of him, and as since Fleer has slowly become a set need for me, I decided to send this out to him. As a teenager, I think I liked this image so much I drew a picture of it.

Blair used to be a non-signer. Then he started signing everything TTM. But after a long break, he’s just now down to one per request.
