I had thought that at some point over the years, outside my Patriots Blitz back in the early ’90s (when the team truly stunk), that I had gotten Greg on a few other trading cards- but I had not.
The Gameday one is one in which I had a Mandela Effect about. I swore that I had gotten him on this card sometime ago, and that he also had a Skybox 1992 Impact card. (That one turned out to be Hart Lee Dykes.)
Also the Topps Stadium Club 1992 card is one that I was particularly sore about for sometime. It is a photo of him catching a TD against the then HOUSTON Oilers, as the Patriots upset them for the win at Foxboro. (I had to go to school the next day, eat crow, and pay out a 20 buck bet.)
I had gotten Jeff at Dallas Cowboys training camp so long ago, I figured it was time to get him on the remaining cards I had. The Action Packed 1992 was a great dual signature candidate, since both players remain decent signers through the mail, and it’s a great card to boot.
I was surprised that Gameday didn’t have a 1992 card of him, but the Topps Stadium Club fit in nicely as a nice c-tier card to get autographed.
Louie played the ’91 season in Barcelona, making an impression on the New York Jets.
He signed with NY shortly after World Bowl I concluded.
Played for the Jets from 1991-’93, averaging 39.6 yards on 210 punts in 49 contests.
Louie joined the Chiefs in 1994- where he’d play through the ’98 season.
He’d conclude his career after one year stints for the Packers (’99) and Bears (’00).
ACCOLADES:
All Pro 1995
Pro Set 1992, #272Topps Stadium Club 1992, #161
NOTES:
Louie was well known for a booming leg and was frequently used on kickoffs.
A sneaky success story of the World League, Aguiar went on to play in the NFL for 10 seasons. I was surprised he didn’t have a card in the league, but that’s why this helmet card was perfect for him to sign.
