Random Card of the Day

Year: 1986

“ Green Black Yellow Blue and Orange! My eyes! ” -rmpaq5

“ The ever popular Punter/Wide Receiver. I like it. ” -switzr1

“ I like the design. Green on the front (my favorite color) and yellow on the back (quickly becoming my second favorite color) makes this a winner in my book. The crooked stats part not so nice, but at least there ARE stats included! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ One of my Top 5 football sets of all-time! LOVE IT!!! ” -carthage44

“ Except for the uniform number, I automatically presumed this guy was a kicker - without even seeing the one-bar facemask. Border is a bit like 85 Donruss baseball, but with a "football field" twist. ” -dilemma19

“ Brown numbers on a tan background always made this a little tough to sort. ” -NJDevils

“ Wow, big dude for a punter. And he went to Harvard. I wonder how much standard punter heckling he was subjected to by his teammates; I bet it was below average. ” -Brimose

“ Ahh yes, Pat McInally, dual threat punter/wide receiver ” -ketchupman36

“ I never cared for the green and white border. The lack of contrast made reading the card number difficult. ” -C2Cigars

“ The first football set I ever collected. I LOVE THIS SET!!! I didn't have a lot, but you always fall in love with the first. I love the position Punter/WR. I don't really remember him, but that is interesting. I loved the backs of these as well!!! ” -muskie027

I think McInally was one of the few guys to get a perfect score on the Wonderlic test. He was a WR early in his career, but I don't thick he was at this point. I think that you could line up the cards of this set and if you put the cards in the right order, the white lines would match up.

A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived."

I've always liked this set. Must have missed the day this card o the day was being written about.

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

I wasn't a football card collector as a kid but I remember having a couple from this set. First football cards I had. Kind of cool from a nostalgic standpoint at least. I like it.

The man who came up for the idea for the Starting Lineup figures. Also a good receiver-- caught 15 or so passes a year also.
