I collected baseball cards as a kid and recently pulled them out of storage. Hundreds of early 1990s era baseball cards (a few football and basketball mixed in for good measure), in pretty dang good condition for being 30 years old. Sorted through about half last night and pulled the ones with well known names. I plan to get a Beckett guide this week and see what I might have.
The Dennis Byrd was an interesting find because of his Oklahoma connection. He grew up in Oklahoma City, went to Mustang, graduated from TU, played in the NFL until he was paralyzed during a collision with a teammate. He went through rehabilitation and learned to walk again, but was killed in Claremore in a car accident in 2016. I read his biography as a kid and it said he took a small bag of Oklahoma dirt to all the stadiums he played in and sprinkled a little bit before each game.
