Bills! Bills! Bills!

 "The Bills have a tendency to play Lawful Good football in even years and Chaotic Neutral football in odd years so far this decade." - Victoria Zeller, in the Defector "Why Your Team Sucks" preseason preview

That's been true this season, as I've been "Yes! They're winning everything! Josh Allen is a football GOD!" to "Can they just lose out, get everyone on the offense not named Allen or Cook fired, and get it over with?". Usually during the same game.

And that's my set-up for a small stack of Bills cards to show off, both in terms of COMC acquisitions, and following that up with the Bills content from the recent TMV mailer.

Even if it is a Reactive Yellow parallel and not just a Yellow one, there is some perfection on applying that colour to a football Hall of Fame induction card. 

Did you think I was kidding when I said I had an Uno card to show off? How else am I supposed to commemorate Daquan Jones' being with the team?

Here's the rest of the COMC Bills content. Clockwise from the top-left, an unlicensed Topps entry is another "no other choice" Bills entry. I did post an Olandis Gary card before, but that was just a card where the team logo didn't match the uniform he was wearing. This is the closest I'll get to Olandis in Bills gear. He'd play zero games for the team and was traded at the end of the pre-season. I got that Amari Cooper since I didn't expect him to show up in 2025 releases. 

As for Tim Tindale, how many times do you see a Canadian university mentioned as the alma mater on a card from the NFL?

Switching over to the TMV mailer, here's a 1989 Diamond Kings-ish design to open this part.

Here's the bulk of the Bills content in the mailer, providing a very solid mix of recent stuff with a smidge of 00's stuff in there. My favourite is probably the McGahee at the bottom, with its "He's a rookie, the photo looks like a rookie, but it isn't a rookie card" quality to it. He was a first rounder in 2003, but due to injury (DON'T LOOK FOR IT IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT) he didn't debut for the team until 2004. 

Using the End Zone paint job for a manufactured patch card just seems like a natural thing. Even if they aren't always the most exciting thing, or even in the proper orientation. For 75 cents, I couldn't resist that Baldwin. Sorry if you wanted it.

The only relic in the batch, and it is a perfect time for it, following two straight weeks of Josh Allen carrying the team to victory. Do I care if the jersey swatch and football piece haven't ever been in his vicinity? Maybe.

Joe DeLamiellure leads the autograph parade here. It's a Hall of Famer Bills autograph! Despite being (mostly) from before my time on the planet, I'll still recognize and love the team's history. Field Access provides an auto to go with the nice photo choices that were prevalent in the product. For a sticker dump, it was far better than they needed to do. Dwayne Wright is the odd man out as I have little memory of him. Lasting one season and being a running back drafted the same year as Marshawn Lynch can do that. Cornelius Bennett's entry might be a non-licensed Topps card, but it gives happy flashbacks to the glory years, and those times are always welcome.

One final autograph. No I don't know why a JP "Better than Peterman, worse than Manuel" Losman auto was encased. All I know is that the case is now holding a far better card, with Losman in the team hit binder.

That's not to say I don't want cards of any of the three QBs mentioned. I most certainly do. Part of Bills fandom is embracing misery.

There you have it!
