I had thought that at some point over the years, outside my Patriots Blitz back in the early ’90s (when the team truly stunk), that I had gotten Greg on a few other trading cards- but I had not.
The Gameday one is one in which I had a Mandela Effect about. I swore that I had gotten him on this card sometime ago, and that he also had a Skybox 1992 Impact card. (That one turned out to be Hart Lee Dykes.)
Also the Topps Stadium Club 1992 card is one that I was particularly sore about for sometime. It is a photo of him catching a TD against the then HOUSTON Oilers, as the Patriots upset them for the win at Foxboro. (I had to go to school the next day, eat crow, and pay out a 20 buck bet.)

With an outstanding selection, I felt it was appropriate to finish up on James’ cards I still needed. The Pro Set 1989 is an easy one to pick out, but recently I’ve gotten more interested in the much maligned Topps 1990 set. The 1000 Yard Club subset runs a bit over 30 deep if I remember correctly. It really stands out from the base set with its yellow border, glossy front, and an action shot on the front.
I’ve been building up slowly on the Pro Set 1990 Pro Bowl set, with a fair amount more of the AFC squad completed. It’s nothing that I’m truly actively trying to get, but I’m sort of falling into.
Louie played the ’91 season in Barcelona, making an impression on the New York Jets.
He signed with NY shortly after World Bowl I concluded.
Played for the Jets from 1991-’93, averaging 39.6 yards on 210 punts in 49 contests.
Louie joined the Chiefs in 1994- where he’d play through the ’98 season.
He’d conclude his career after one year stints for the Packers (’99) and Bears (’00).
ACCOLADES:
All Pro 1995
Pro Set 1992, #272Topps Stadium Club 1992, #161
NOTES:
Louie was well known for a booming leg and was frequently used on kickoffs.
A sneaky success story of the World League, Aguiar went on to play in the NFL for 10 seasons. I was surprised he didn’t have a card in the league, but that’s why this helmet card was perfect for him to sign.
