Topps XFL 2001, #71

NOTES:

Keith was kind enough to include a copy of his Fellowship of Christian Athletes card. The Topps XFL 2001 set at first was one I really hated, but over the years, it has really grown on me.

CARDS: Skybox Primetime 1992, Topps XFL 2001, Gameday 1992
ACQUIRED: TTM 2022, C/o Home
SENT: 4/11/22 RECEIVED: 4/20/22 (9 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

Topps XFL 2001, #46

NOTES:

I’ve been digging deep into the Topps XFL 2001 set recently, and when I saw that Big Saab was signing TTM all of a sudden, I quickly dropped these cards in the mail to him.

I sometimes send out 5 or 6 requests at a time and I accidentally sent out Big Saab’s envelope without it being prepped. I felt like such an idiot opening up my PO Box and finding the empty envelope inside. Luckily I had only flushed a GameDay 1992 card and had a duplicate on hand to reload with.
