“ There is nothing that can make a card of a punter not punting a "collector's edition" to me. ” -hiflew

“ The world needs more Punter cards. ” -Gunny

“ Ahh...the days when they wasted base cards on punters and placekickers. ” -hamrlik22

“ Nice card from a fine set. ” -sundin

“ Not a fan of early 90's football. 1990 Topps baseball looks way better than this. This looks like 88-89 Bowman baseball. ” -pjdionne12

“ Do punters even get cards anymore? I mean obviously rookie punters get cards with 100+ serial number variations, but do vet punters still get cards? ” -jackal726

“ Ah Topps Tiffany. When they first did these I thought it was pretty neat having a "deluxe" variant, but that was a few years before having 1,000s of variants would be the in thing. The hobby needs to go back to some basics and stay there. In My Opinion. ” -captkirk42

“ The world was in such a better place when we had one bar facemask punters.. ” -parsley24

“ I prefer the regular edition. I am not much of a Tiffany fan. Landeta was a great ounter. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ I love seeing NFL cards with other leagues' stats included (USFL, CFL, etc.). ” -DanD

“ the old single bar! ” -Thunderfoot

I gotta say... I would definitely rather see base cards of punters and kickers than 500 different parallels of some guy that wasn't even drafted. ------------------------------- Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

Card design is fine, and the Tiffany cards always stood out back then because of the white card stock used. I also might be inclined to collect football cards (like the sport, not the cards) if more players were included in the sets. I get that a set to include everyone who played the previous year would be massive (around 2,000 cards, possibly), so I can see why card companies don't do that for every set. But having one set like that each year would be nice (and I would say the same thing for all the sports). As for the person, I had the pleasure of meeting Sean at an autograph session at my friend Lee's card shop (see card #58 on this list, along with the comment: https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/4869/Cards-I-got-signed,-with-story?PageIndex=6). He is a stand-up guy.

One of the high points in card design.

You gotta love those single bar helmets that little kickers and punters wore... Those must have been so tempting for the opposition players. Something about those helmets just screams out "Grab my single bar and pull it please!"
