NOTES:
Kevin didn’t have a shortage of cards, but I really wanted to get his NFLE entries autographed. Unfortunately the only ones he had in the league were Claymores cards. Still nice grab C/o Dartmouth.
So the Upper Deck Legends card was definitely a set need. I’m glad I got these hand graphed TTM. Randy has a bold and solid autograph. While I was at it I threw in these two other cards. The Super Bowl XIX card is important because Randy did a great job blocking up front for Montana and clearing lanes during the contest.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
