Monday Night Football is in full effect tonight, so I figured it was time to show off a football pack from the big junk wax giveaway/party. These were part of a promotion during Upper Deck's first foray into NFL cards as a special set where packs were only available with purchase of a certain pizza order at Domino's. I was more of a Little Caesar's guy in high school, thanks in large part to their price point and crazy bread, so I didn't get any of these packs myself. I remember seeing them at card shows, hoarded by dealers who had either had really disturbing pizza-eating habits or just had connections with minimum wage-earning teens.
30 - Stan Humphries (Humphries' inclusion in this set shows its limitations - only quarterbacks are involved. I would have loved, for example, a Domino's-related card of William "The Refridgerator" Perry.)
32 - Terry Bradshaw (I love that Terry Bradshaw hates Ben Roethlisberger. That's about the only thing I love about him, though.)
47 - Cowboy Gunslingers (This is probably the ultimate card to get for a Dallas Cowboys fan, which I am very much the opposite of. Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman are featured here.)
28 - Dan McGwire (Like Ozzie to Jose Canseco, Dan McGwire was prolifically crappy, only at an entirely different sport than baseball. He wasn't Mark's twin, either, but was younger by a few years.)

Dan McGwire....lol...I have a bunch of his Score football cards. I should just burn them or include them in the next package I send out....lol.
ReplyDeleteThat might be a good set to collect if you liked Domino's pizza. The Bradshaw and the Cowboys card look nice.

ReplyDeleteA pile of Dan McGwire junk wax (is there any other kind of wax for McGwire?) sounds like a perfect candidate for a serious bipping on a Seahawks fan.
ReplyDeleteI remember at the time how excited everyone was in the region when the Hawks got him, because hey, how can he miss with that last name?
Well, by a lot actually. I think the stink he put in the Kingdome is the real reason they demolished the place.
if someone was to have this card(the cowboys gunslinger#47 with troy aikman and roger staubach).... what would it be worth to u mr madding?
ReplyDeleteWhat would the card 'Cowboy Gunsligers #47' Be worth to you Mr. Madding!
