Title: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Dave Gray on January 25, 2010, 12:42:52 pm I'm looking for a specific kind of football card. I think it was from the early 90s and probably the Topps brand.
You would see a guy who was on a new team, but with the old uniform. ...so it would be like a Falcons player, but he'd be wearing a Bengals Jersey and there would be a little banner across the Corner that said "Acquired from Cincinnati". Does anyone have a recollection of what I'm talking about? Can anyone name a specific year and brand where this happened? And better yet, can anyone find a picture? Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on January 25, 2010, 12:45:02 pm Dave- I know I have some Donruss "traded" baseball cards that are exactly like that (I have a whole case from one season). I will check if I have football ones. I know exactly where they would be, so I can have an answer for you shortly...

Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on January 25, 2010, 01:40:16 pm None of my football cards were of the "traded" variety, like you were looking for. I did have some "rookie" cards, which showed the player in their college uniforms.
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Brian Fein on January 25, 2010, 01:45:22 pm They had probably 1 or 2 from each set (not from traded sets) of guys who switched teams after the photo deadline and they had to put a little flag on the card because they had an old picture.
I'll do some digging... Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Phishfan on January 25, 2010, 02:59:53 pm If no one finds one, I know I have some in my collection but I'm not digging through it today.
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: VidKid on January 25, 2010, 10:16:46 pm I assume you're referring to something like this:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414dtN0mZRL._SL500_AA262_.jpg I had this one and others. I'm not sure what i have left. This happens a lot regardless of year and brand, not just Topps. You just have to look for guys that were traded right after draft day or at least soon after draft day. Here's a Doug Flutie who only played 4 games with the Bears, but had a card made. http://www.checkoutmycards.com/CardImages/Original/023/319/05F.jpg I have a whole rookie set that has warren sapp, favre, and other smaller names and some of them have the 'traded' mark on them. I forget which set. Wasn't one of the big 3, but it's a nice set. Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on January 25, 2010, 10:26:30 pm ^^^
I think Dave means something like this: Unitas is in his Colts uniform, but the card says Chargers, because they didn't have pics of him in a Chargers uniform yet!

Post by: Brian Fein on January 26, 2010, 11:02:23 am ^^ something like this, but later on they got to adding little flags that said "Aquired 1/4/83" or something like that, to kinda explain why he's in the wrong uniform
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Dave Gray on January 26, 2010, 11:29:59 am ^^ Yep. There is a little banner that says "Acquired from Baltimore."
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: BigDaddyFin on January 26, 2010, 08:39:12 pm If you're refering to the early 90s, the most vivid ones I remember were from Pro Set and also sky box. They had a silver border.
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Dave Gray on February 01, 2010, 03:54:58 pm Anything more on this?
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: bsfins on February 01, 2010, 05:22:04 pm Lik e this? Stolen from Ebay...it's an '89 pro set Hershel Walker card...I was trying to remember who was traded in the early 90's,or changed teams a few times in the early 90's.....
CARD #561 (http://pic.leech.it/i/cf43e/7cfdf2389proset.jpg) (http://pic.leech.it/pic.php?id=7cfdf2389proset.jpg) Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Brian Fein on February 01, 2010, 05:27:23 pm YES!! THAT!!!
Finally! Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on February 01, 2010, 05:42:47 pm YES!! THAT!!! Finally! Nope not that. Dave stated that the player was wearing his old teams uniform, but the card would be for his new team. That Walker card is the other thing they'd do- paint over the uniform! Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Brian Fein on February 01, 2010, 05:50:19 pm I think, more importantly than the photo, Dave was looking for the little flag...
Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on February 01, 2010, 06:03:54 pm ^^^ I thought he was looking for the whole overall thing.
This is close, but not quite: (http://sportscardarticles.com/football_cards/images/1990_pro_set_andre_rison_front.jpg) Title: Re: Football card question for collecters. Post by: bsfins on February 01, 2010, 08:21:08 pm If you look at 2001 Elvis Grbac cards,the majority of them are of him in a Chiefs uniform,and have Ravens logos on the cards also...No banners,one cards had transaction...
I've checked Rich Gannon, Elvis Grbac,Eric Dickerson, Jerome Bettis,Jim Harbaugh,Ronnie Lott,Greg Bell,Barry Word cards no luck.... Ok, Ok I know it's not "the One" but it was Dave asked for....Player in old teams jersey,traded to a new team, and "Traded to"...

Post by: Dave Gray on February 01, 2010, 11:04:40 pm Awesome. Thanks, guys. Between all the stuff here, I think I've got everything I need.
I'm going to lock, since this has been resolved. |
