I like the design (Topps Montgomery 582) and picked this up on the cheap. He really doesn't actually fit any of the entry requirements for the autograph collection, other than the card set. Hoping he has a standout year where he is an AS, wins some sort of award or maybe ends up finding his way to the Dodgers!
A copuple fan favorite FB players from the 80s/90s
Flutie /6 Recollections.
Mecklenburg.
I grew up a Raiders fan and when I was following the game, I was pretty dialed in to who was who. That faded in the late 90s, around the rookie campaign of Charles Woodson, when I stopped buying packs of new stuff. I just kind of lost interest in the game itself. I even put the cards to the side for the most part, except baseball. My recent revival of other sports and autographs has lead me to discover some players along the way who had decent careers that I had never heard of. There are also a lot of newer guys flooding the market. Because I have a Raider auto search, I get 100s of new hits every day and as I weeded through them looking for guys like stabler, Branch, Casper, Belitnikoff and the other guys I recall from my youth, I was seeing a lot of names I had never heard of. one such name was Zamir White, but I finally decided that I should look him up on FB reference, since his name was showing up a lot. For those not in the know like I was, White was a rookie last year. He didn't do much, carrying the ball 17 times across 14 games (!) for 70 yards and no TDs. I will have probably overpaid in the end for this, but wanted to get a card just in case. Some of them are quite spendy, so maybe he has great potential. Mine is /25 and was pretty cheap. Here is hoping he has a decent career.
