Andre Reed

Fleer's cards were generally pretty weak but these illustrated pieces really psyched me up as a kid. The art was really good. Reed played one year as a Redskin...that looked weird.

Michael Irvin

Michael Irvin special insert by Action Packed with the braille back. No idea what it says. For two weeks I asked my father and each of his friends if they knew any blind people that could decipher the secret message for me. No luck. I gave up.

Wendell Davis

You don't have to be a superstar to get listed on my blog. You just had to make it into one of the packs of cards I opened as a kid. Big shouts to former Bears WR Wendell Davis, now operating a string of barber shops outside of Chicago called Big League Barbers.

Mark Super Duper

Why did Mark Duper wear a punters helmet? Was he nuts. Well shortly after retiring from the NFL he got busted for selling cocaine. He also played a couple games in the Arena League for a team called the Miami Hooters. Lastly he legally changed his name to Mark Super Duper. Something's up with Mark.
