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.

ACQUIRED: TTM 2021, C/o Home
SENT: 4/13 RECEIVED: 5/1 (18 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

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.

NOTES:

Mike Holmgren didn’t sign for a while, even skipping out on signing this rookie card from what I understand, even when he did sign. He started back up again, and I couldn’t help but ask him to toss in a play as well. I was very happy to get him on both of these items.

He’s been denied the HOF for some reason a few times. I think he’s due to be inducted with a solid resume, and an incredibly heavy coaching tree branching off of him that includes a lot of current names such as Andy Reid.
