NOTES:

Frank’s an old head from the AAF days. Too bad I didn’t go to the Michigan game in 2025. I would’ve worn my Tarpley jersey to jog his memory.

I made a deal with an eBay seller to pick up this black plate at a reduced price. It had been sitting there for 6-8 months and no one was biting.

During the 2026 season Frank came forward to reveal that he and other members of the league from previous years had been blackballed from the league- and that’s why they weren’t playing in 2026.

NOTES:

The photo on this UFL 2025 card is fantastic. I really like the clear expression on his face along with the juxtaposition of his figure against the yellow background.

NOTES:

Great cards and autographs of Amari Rodgers here. I remember the Texans back in 2022, picked up Amari Rodgers I felt to try to see if they could lure Deshaun Watson out of his self imposed retirement. (Glad it didn’t work.)
