These are jokes and can't be legit Promos. The checklist should probably be removed. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I've put in the IR to get Admin to remove this nonsense.

They still have not been removed. Does Admin consider them legit? Edited on: Jul 27, 2022 - 10:59AM ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

These are legitimate issues, however, they were not intended for public release. There was a mention of them in 1991 or 1992 hobby magazine (possibly the SCD newspaper) but I can't recall if it was a blurb or a reader letter.

The Doug Allen card was a dig by AAA (Wild Card's parent co.) reflecting the strained relationship between them and the NFLPA ( whom they were embroiled in a lawsuit with at the time).

The All-Pro Sports agents represented Barry Sanders, who was a spokesperson for Wild Card which explains the promotional production of the All-Time Backs and All-Pro Sports cards. Presumably The Patricks was produced in jest, as he is a longtime acquaintance of Peter Shaeffer of All-Pro Sports.

Very similar to the 1990 Pro Set Steve Young 666 or the 1991-92 Upper Deck NBA Executive cards.
