Another great offensive lineman from a small school that the Cowboys always seem to find in the draft. Wright went to Fort Valley State, Erik Williams to Central State and of course Larry Allen went to Sonoma. Those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. It's just amazing how they find these guys.

Good luck trying to find a Rayfield Wright RC since his actual RC as well as his All Pro card are both in the near impossible to find 1972 Topps High #s,

Oh I know it... his RC books for $250 which means a decent raw one will be around $300 minimum.

WOW! I did not know it was that high! Can you imagine what the Staubach RC would book at if it ended up in the high # series instead of one of the low series? I'd say a couple of grand at least.

Yup. Guess who else is in the high # series? The pride of Grand Prairie... Charley Taylor. With his name spelled wrong of course. Lots of error cards in that set!
 
It's Mother's Day. And I thought it'd be appropriate to share a story both me and Terrell Owens have in common. Owens was named by his mother, as he didn't know his father until he was 10. I was named after my father and many other Terrell's from my father's side. But I believe it's the mother's ultimate decision as to what her child's name will be. So both our mothers named us Terrell. Up until 1998, when Terrell Davis became a household name because of his epic performance in Super Bowl XXXII everyone pronounced my name "Tear-ull" (as in you 'tear' a piece of paper) which is the way it's meant to be pronounced. For the next 15 years or so I would correct people who called me "Terr-rell" (like Terr-rell Davis) but around age 25 I realized I was wasting my breath and just answered to both. Terrell Owens also had his name mispronounced, mainly by the media, and he would correct them as well. His name is pronounced "Tuh-rell", slightly different than "Terr-rell", but still a distinguishable difference. As he is an NFL Hall of Famer and I'm just a dude in a one horse town, he continues to correct people whereas I gave up for the most part... usually the person saying my name will eventually ask how to pronounce it and my answer is usually, "Well, my Mom calls me "Tear-ull" and they apologize and try to say it the way it was intended, but I don't force it unless I'm in a mood. You know the kind I mean. So, there you have it. Two guys with the same name but pronounced different (when pronounced correctly) that have spent a lifetime correcting people who mis-pronounce it because our Mothers didn't name us Terrell. One named her son Terrell, and one named her son Terrell... If they wanted our names pronounced like the Broncos legend there wouldn't be an issue, but out of respect for our mothers' decision and growing up being called a certain way bu them, we both correct "mispronouncers." Here's to Moms everywhere and naming us how they wanted!

Being a Cowboys fan, I am surprised that you posted Owens in my favorite team (49ers) colors. Nice looking card.
