Bills! Bills! Bills!


 Back to the TMV mailer, and all the Bills content within, or Buffalo in the case of this unlicensed issue.
The Bills content in the mailer was certainly a hit parade. These were the only ones, other than the Bruce Smith opener that didn't have a swatch or autograph to go alongside with it. Diggs is easily the most successful of the bunch, lapping the group both in terms of on-field performance and legal issues. 
Let's see the relics. While I probably should pick the Josh Allen entry as my favourite in this grouping, I'm going to have to pick the Mike Williams entry instead. That's because that was seemingly the draft jersey he's holding in the picture that was used for the card. I'll take that over the "not any specified game or event" nowadays. And I'm not left guessing as to what the third swatch is like on Allen's. I'm guessing glove, but if Panini won't say, how am I to say with certainty?
Here's the autos. My favourite in the bunch is the /99 Harrison Phillips. His draft announcement was an emotional moment, as it was announced by Bills mega-fan Pancho Billa, who was fighting cancer at the time and would pass away over a year later. Jeff Tuel almost became the first undrafted rookie to start a Week 1 game, but they opted for EJ Manuel in the days up to the game to start off yet another forgettable season. The Roscoe Parrish on the bottom is a dupe, but I'll be sure that it ends up in a good home.
And why not the best of both worlds? As I've said before, it is amazing that Edwards doesn't make the Top 3 list of QB regrets from post-Kelly, pre-Allen years.

There you have it!
