I thought this was a pretty cool card. This card is from the 2022 Leaf in the Game Used Sports- Big Ticket Signatures set. It is a 20-card set of autographed cards, featuring a ticket from a game in which a famous athlete participated in during their career.
In this case, it's a ticket from a USFL football game, played on Sunday, May 6, 1984, between the Oklahoma Outlaws and Herschel Walker's New Jersey Generals. The game was a blowout, with the Generals winning, 49-17. Walker rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries and had three touchdowns. One of his scores came on a 62-yard run. The score was so lopsided that Herschel sat out the entire fourth quarter.
I like the concept of this card. Nice to see some different ideas from the card companies.
It's been quiet here at the Hoard. This is my first post in over a month. It has been really hard to find new product that doesn't have that "every card is damn near the same" feel. Also, the older cards I'm looking for are showing up less and less. My top ten list has been dormant for a long time. In that vein, next week will be another "clean out the cache of Panini examples."
The goal as always, is to collect as many different Walker cards as I can, but Panini Draft Picks don't always rate an individual post. The current total count in the Hoard is 1, 023.
