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.

ACCOLADES:

  • Pro Bowl 1986, 88-90

NOTES:

James Brooks was very identifiable by those oversized pads he wore and his tucked in sleeves. Great dual threat player who just pummeled the Houston Oilers.

I was a bit underwhelmed by James’ autograph, so much so I am not sure if they are legit, but I was happy to add them to my collection for only a small fee.

NOTES:

Mark is a great signer TTM and has a stack of really good cards. I grabbed all of these from 1990 and sent them off covering most of the ones I wanted signed right out of the gate. I especially love the lighting and photography on the Score 1990 entry. While a drop off from the 89 set, this one is highly underrated.
