NOTES:

Well I thought I was going to this event but my wife made me scrap my plans at the last second. In stepped in my friend Mark in a pinch. He helped me knock out Tony on my set needs and then quite a few others, that he just had extras of. He knocked out the Skybox, Pro Set, Action Packed and Fleer needs just like that.

I hadn’t gotten any cards of him in his Jets uniform, so this one was an added bonus in a time I wasn’t collecting. Topps Stadium Club’s logo was a product of the time- as the late 90s was all about looking edgy. Lol I absolutely hate it.

Tony’s Score 1990 is an oddity. He feels like an afterthought in the set as he’s the final card after all the 1990 Rookie cards.

Bishop, Keith

Pro Set 1989, #99
Score 1989, #158

CARDS: Pro Set 1989, Score 1989
ACQUIRED: TTM 2022, C/o Home
SENT: 5/31 RECEIVED: 6/10 (10 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Keith Bishop was an offensive lineman, drafted out of Baylor by the Denver Broncos in the 6th round of the 1980 NFL Draft.
  • Would have been drafted higher, but injuries riddled his final year of college and early on in his pro career.
  • Prized for long snapping skills.
  • Versatile, aggressive, with a touch of finesse, played Center and Guard over career.
  • First offensive lineman in Broncos history to be named to the Pro Bowl.
  • Played for Broncos from 1980-89.

ACCOLADES:

  • Pro Bowl 1986, ’87

NOTES:

Keith works for the Broncos as the Vice President of Security. I had a set need with Keith on the Pro Set 1989, and realized after sifting through cards late one night, he had a great Score 1989 card. I’m a sucker for cards with big men that have dirt on them. This one definitely checked all the boxes so I had get Keith.
