NOTES:

I really wanted Deontay because I love the Panini college GameDay inserts. I called out Deontay and he had no problem coming over and signing a few cards for me before the Roughnecks entered the tunnel after pregame practice had been concluded. I knew I was off to a fast start at my spot next to the visitor’s entrance.

NOTES:

I had tried BJ a few times already without any luck- even delaying posting his original post for a few months hoping I’d get a success back, but no dice. Every once in a while I pull out my stack of failures that were RTSed by the mailman and go through them. I decided to take a closer look at Daniels’ address. I knew he worked at USF but the address was off by just a bit, so I tweaked it and tried again. A bit over two months later he sent me back the autographs and a really nice note on USF stationary thanking me for being a fan.

Topps AAF 2019 Certified, #AU-DE

CARDS: Topps AAF 2019 Certified
ACQUIRED: 2022, Private Acquisition

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

This card was a bit of a cop out by Topps. It is almost a complete duplicate of his regular issue base set card, minus a filter or two. Still it was a need for the set as most of the coaches were fetching an insane price in the open market. My friend CFLFaninPhilly came through for me and made me a great deal to help me close out this set. Again, I can not thank him enough.
