CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I had gotten Rich way, way back when he was with the Houston Oilers TTM. He had some great cards, but I only got one at the time. Later I acquired the Topps, Bowman, and Score autographs as part of what I call the ‘Akron Aquisition’- a stack of autographs I got from Bryan when he briefly left the hobby. A consistent signer, I put out these last 4 to Rich, with the majority of them being set needs. Honestly one of the best autographs out there- if not for punters alone. Love the loops. Solid.

  • Was the Chiefs 1st round pick in 1990.

  • Expected to assume a bigger role in 1992, but a freak injury during training camp ended his season, after he blew out his knee.
  • Was a backup on the Chicago Bears in 1993, but didn’t see any action.
  • After a year off, played for the Rhein Fire in the retooled World League in 1995.

ACCOLADES:

  • Lombardi Award Winner 1989
  • 1989 Butkus Award Winner
  • College Football Hall of Fame

NOTES:

Well I went all out with a paid signing and got Percy Snow, who is a total no show in the TTM market. Many of these were set needs, and Percy had quite a nice selection of cards during his short playing career.

The promoter happened to be a member of our Facebook TTM group and after promoting and helping some other members nab a few of Percy’s autographs, I went ahead and bought a few more as at the time like many people working from home during the pandemic, I was flush with the extra money.

I really liked the Pro Set 1990 Lombardi Award Winner card. The gold frame above the green, coupled with solid, clean photography. All the other cards are amazingly all set needs, as these all exploded for me during the pandemic.
