CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Jim Fahnhorst played LB for his home state Minnesota Golden Gophers.
  • 4th round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 1982.
  • Eventually ended up playing in the USFL for the Chicago Blitz in 1983, and the Arizona Wranglers in 1984, making a pair of interceptions and recovering 4 fumbles over his career.
  • Signed with the ‘9ers in 1984, and was witness to 3 49ers Super Bowl titles over his career.
  • Hardworking, versatile, determined player, was a chief backup in the ‘9ers LB corps.
  • Best season came in 1986 starting 14 games, recording 4 interceptions and a sack playing RILB.
  • Retired after the 1990 campaign.

NOTES:

Jim didn’t receive the trading card accolades due to him until really late in his career, however the Pro Set 1989 was probably enough to blow his socks off. Since he had a Topps ’90 as well, I thought I’d drop that one in too. He appears in the original NES game Tecmo Bowl as a LB for San Fransisco.

He’s got an amazing autograph. Love the blue and the pen pressure on this is solid across the board- powerful. The ligature of ‘Jim’ shortened into a J and the interesting pointedness of his F leading into a series of loops, really is intriguing.

NOTES:

Pat played for 17 seasons in the NFL and was blessed with a large selection of cards from the 70s-90s. From this selection here there’s no shortage of great photos that really stand out, in addition to my set needs. His Pro Set 1990 is really great. I love the color and how the dust kicks up under his cleats.

NOTES:

Briefly here Robert was the longest wait for 2022, but was quickly superseded within two weeks. He’s a great signer- but makes fans wait upwards of a year to get things back TTM. I got him once at training camp. After that I always wanted to add him on at least his 89 Pro Set.

I mean- technically, Robert is German since he was born in Landstuhl, West Germany, however by the time he was in high school he was living in California.
