Set: All World CFL French (Rate)

Card: #61 Reggie Barnes


“ I always found it odd the CFL had two teams with similar names, the Roughriders and the Rough Riders. I never remember which one Teddy Roosevelt played for. ” -Tscastle

“ Nice CFL card. I enjoy this set. I got it sometime within a year or two of it's original release. I recall that THE PLAYER was Raghib "The Rocket" Ismail. So much so he is all over this set. He has 7 cards throughout the set. ” -captkirk42

“ Reggie was chess champion at West Philadelphia High School. His chess club went on a cruise to celebrate winning the city wide championship. During the cruise he got C6. I do like the card design even though the card dimensions are in metric. ” -CardFlipper1974

“ Is the border giving anyone else a headache looking at it? Especially when trying to make out the guy's name and team in the lower left? ” -Theron_Nett

“ Not crazy about the front but like the back , , , ” -georgecf

“ These HAVE to be more valuable than the English equivalent because this set makes up at least 98-percent of all CFL cards in existence. ” -DanD
  1
“ Ahh the other Rough Riders (9 team league - 2 had the same name). This was the Rocket Ismail rookie year set and was mass produced in both English and French. Reggie bounced around the CFL and wound up back in Ottawa to finish his career. ” -BuccaneersDen

“ Fun Fact -- American football was invented in Canada. ” -Philliesphan

Love a good CFL card! Football in Ottawa has been tumultuous at best, after the Rough Riders folded, then came the Renegades, then now the REDBLACKS.

For you American friends, our season starts in June if you need a fix before the the NFL starts up ...

I could probably buy the already complete sets cheaper somewhere else, but I like getting my maildays.

Ahh the CFL, nice to see. Reggie was Rookie of the Year in 1990. Over 1200 yards that season.

Not a fan of the border, but maybe it was cool in 1991.
