After I got Bruce a few years ago, I remember opening up a box searching for another player and saying, “uggggghhhh…”, After I realized that I had a beautiful Skybox card of him that I wanted to have him sign. I set it aside and waited patiently hoping he’d still be a good signer when the time would come around again.
As the pandemic set in, I started really developing and formalizing a lot of set needs. I used to like to just pick and choose action shots and pretty cards to send to players, but now I’ve become more directed, as all four of these sets became set needs after COVID came and supposedly went.
Hunter played for the Nevada Wolfpack from 1982-85.
Selected in the 3rd round of the 1986 draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
In 1987 became a starter in the secondary and a gunner on special teams.
Blocked punt in 1991 that led to score against Steelers in 27-7 win.
Also picked off a pass that season that he returned for TD against Raiders.
Played for the Seahawks through 1994.
Finished out career playing one final season in 1995 with the Arizona Cardinals, picking off 2 passes.
Skybox 1992, #264
NOTES:
Patrick appears in not only Tecmo Bowl but also in Tecmo Super Bowl, but didn’t have that many cards. He had a few off-brand and Topps cards, but these represented the only set needs I really had. He had a really interesting helmet. I believe that it was the same issue that the World League used during 1991-92.
I waited patiently to get AC on all of these and sent out to him in 2019, but failed out. After seeing he was signing again, I went ahead and gave him another shot with a little cash to grease the wheels. All of these are set needs, so I consider these successes a major coup.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
