This is the back of the card.
This is the front of the card. This will be back-to-front in the Bills binder. If you don't know my reasons, you don't know my collecting habits. Here, we don't have a card. We have a Pro Magnet. I had to choose between adding this one to my collection for about 50 cents worth of COMC credit, or a Jim Kelly or a Bruce Smith for several times that. Despite the fact the latter two are among the guys I heavily PC, I still made the right decision.
But that's not to say my collection didn't add at least one card of Bruuuuuuuuce.
When Kyle Orton retired at the end of last season, I picked this one up simply because I wanted a card of him as a Bill for my collection, but simply thought that the companies wouldn't issue one of him in their 2015 releases due to the retirement. Turns out he has shown up on a team leaders card in Score, and even on a solo card in Topps Inception. Oops.
While I didn't add any Jim Kelly to my 2/14 collection from this go through, I did add one more Bills card to my collection.
As a bonus, this copper parallel is numbered to 99.
And there you have it!

Love that Thurman
ReplyDeleteGood ol' Orton - he ended up with a much nicer and longer career than I thought he would. With the state of QB's right now, I'm sure he could have another job if he wanted one.
