Another TMV Mailer: Bills Bills Bills

 Back to the bubbler!

Here's the easy pick for my favourite card among the Bills. I loved it so much, I had a copy of it in my most recent COMC shipment. Not a problem, though! I can just as easily add it to my next Night Owl mailer.
The scramble for the ball after a fumble definitely counts for an "Action Highlight" set. Since this is a 1984 release, it has to come from a 1983 game. That's definitely Rich Stadium vs The Orange Bowl, so that traces to Week 1 of the season. 

Which was a rather pedestrian-sounding 12-0 Dolphins win. I guess that was probably the most action-packed play of that game.
Here's the rest of the unnumbered non-hits in here. It's primarily shiny and/or recent stuff, so it was nice to see that random Henry Jones in there.
I guess this is technically a Texans card, but my hits/number binder won't care.
Here's a whole pile of swatches. It is nice to be welcoming Tre'Davious White back to the team after a short diversion elsewhere. I just hope he can avoid any heartbreaking injuries this time around. Hopefully, the Large on the Travis Henry refers to the size of the patch, and not the number of children he has. It and the Scott Chandler card are the only ones listed as game-worn swatches. Of course, swatches from an ultra-high-end set like National Treasures should be game-worn.
Finally, the one auto for this portion of the post. Sure, Stevenson only appeared in a handful of games with the Bills, but why wouldn't any of his cards count for the collection? It's a nice low-numbered parallel /25 too, the Mirror Red parallel to be precise.

There's still baseball and Raptors stuff to go. Until then, there you have it!
