When I did these Super Bowl MVP cards back in 2022, I sent my friend Rick a copy of the Desmond Howard card since he was such a big fan of the Packers. Then I sent one out to Desmond myself.
Whether it got lost in the mail or Desmond saw it and kept it, I didn’t get mine back- but Rick did. I was pretty sad about it. I mean not like at Rick. No it was this feeling that punched my TTM desire in the gut. I just felt tired after not getting this one back in 2022 as I put a lot of work into these and I thought he’d be excited to sign.
Anyway I decided to give another shot this year after seeing a few successes on SCN and didn’t really expect anything. Lo and behold almost 6 months after I sent it, this one came back!
Unlike just sending TTM to players and what I interpret as letting them know that they are feeling seen- when I do customs- or hacks in this case, it is I who feels seen when they sign them.
Brahmas finished 3-7 in first season under Hines in 2023.
After the season, refused to sign updated contract, and quit the league.
NOTES:
Before the XFL season began the team had a meet and greet with fans at Alamo Brewing Company. Alongside Hines were a few players, who were obviously team captains. I had 3 cards, but Hines only signed 2. There were a lot of people there and I didn’t want to press my luck for more at the time. The humidity was pretty high for the time and I guess these autographs didn’t stick as well as they should. I was a bit disappointed, but the autographs look better in person than scanned in here.

Dexter didn’t start in the backfield until his 3rd season with the team.
He’d post 4 picks, 8 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks, and 67 combined tackles in 2001.
During 2002, Dexter had an additional 3 interceptions, 6 pass deflections, and 71 total tackles.

He decided to play one final season in the upstart UFL with the Florida Tuskers- retiring after the 2009 campaign.
He’s worked in sports related industries since retirement, coaching, radio, and recently in non-profit.
ACCOLADES:
Super Bowl MVP XXXVII
Florida Sports Hall of Fame
NOTES:
I had heard that Jackson wasn’t difficult to get if you could track him down, so I bode my time until the right moment and sent this one out to his work. His card went through a lot of revisions, before I came to this design but in the end I was happy with this result.
