My 12 Cards of Christmas

For Christmas Indians Cards, Always offered his readers a treat. The 12 Cards of Christmas. Well I received the selection I asked for this fine day and here it is for all to see.

12 Arron Brooks

This guy frustrated Saints fans to no end. Throw an INT. Smile. Get sacked when 3 receivers are open on 4th and 6. Huge smile. Overthrow an open receiver in the end zone. Laugh and smile.

10 Tennessee Titans

An interesting mix of Oiler / Titans. All cards are from after the move but a few have the oil derrick logo. I grew up outside of New Orleans and followed the Oilers. I wanted to be just like Earl Campbell.

8 Assorted Saints

This Shuler card is the greatest. This scan does no justice to the card. Gold foil. Silver foil. Mystery foil. Super shiny. Shapes and stuff all over. A player who had a 3 year toe injury. Love him because he was QB at Unv. of Tennessee. Great mix of cards of players I like. Danny is a great guy. But he played at Florida. That will never be forgotten. Sherrod played college ball an hour from my home town and was a pretty good college receiver and returner.

7 Yancey Thigpens

Never much cared for Yancey. Mainly because he was a Steeler.
And is he trying to do the robot here?

6 Deuce McCallisters


DEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE
!
Watched him play at Ole Miss and loved it. Great guy and very engaging. Had an auto session at a mall in Biloxi. Scheduled for 3 hours and for 2 of them few people showed up. Really got to know him. He was swamped for the first hour but slow after that.
2003 Fleer Mystique / 2003 Playoff Prestige / 2002 SPx / 2003 Fleer Tradition / 2003 Skybox LE / Donruss Gridiron Kings

Thank you Indians Cards, Always. You made my day. I look forward to any future trades with you. And you remined me of great sets I want to redo. Basically all Fleer Mystique and Showcase sets, 2002 SPx, anything Pacific, 2000 Skybox Dominion. Heck, anything Fleer.
I miss them.

You are very welcome! I had a lot of fun putting the gift packs together, and you are right - those football cards like the Shuler are amazing-looking!
