Random Card of the Day

I live in Nashville and I barely remember his name. Maybe he's a legendary Parcheesi player or something. 

Haha!  Let's wait for cnangle to upload the 1888 Gypsy Queen Parcheesi set and we will see if Ben is in it!

I remember him as being a decent tight end with a few touchdown catches. Not his fault that a card company decided to place a tag of Future Legend on a tight end drafted in the second round. Poke fun at the card, not him, he had an average length NFL career.

My intent was to poke fun at the card. Still, I genuinely don't remember the guy. Admittedly, I wasn't watching much NFL at that time.  I lived in California and never got used to the 10AM start times.

By the way, if anyone has Sean Taylor from this set, it's the only missing scan.

The cards are to plain for an insert with this title. Skybox didn't do too bad with the Legends part of it though. I'd say 5 have reached Legend status and over half of the 25 players have or had long careers. Most of the ones that didn't had there career cut short by injury. Troupe is one of the 5-6 players that shouldn't have been in this set.

As for the Sean Taylor card missing scans, he is the only player in the list that is deceased. I can't remember how he died, but he had a good career going until then. I'm still surprised no one has added those scans though.

I believe Sean was killed in a home invasion at his house if I'm not mistaken.

I never seen this set before today, but not impressed with it.  I remember Ben Troupe but forgot about him.  While I wouldn't place him among best ever, I think he had a couple solid years.
