Emmitt Smith '95 SP All-Pro Gold
These are hard to come by for some reason........No MJS facsimile auto, him being a rook I guess........
You're not kidding about those being hard to come by at least in decent shape. I've put together numerous 1973 Topps Baseball sets but never completed a team checklist set. The 1974 Team Checklists were a little better but those were not easy to get in nice shape as well. Topps had the same "bright" idea with their 1973 and 1974 football sets as well. But by far the most difficult to come bywas the1973Baseball ones.
Speaking of 1973 baseball and hard to come by checklists, the high series checklist #588 is REALLY hard to come by in nice shape. No wonder it books at $80 in the current Beckett Vintage Guide.
This card compelled me to look up the All Time receiving leaders in SU history. Harrison is now #2 behind a player I have never heard of. The only guys on this list I know are #2 (obviously), #5, #6, #10 and maybe #4.
This Top 10 shows just how diluted stats are these days rendering them almost useless. The fact that there is a HUGE, historic name that is not on this list illustrates that today's stats mean absolutely nothing. Can anyone tell me the huge name missing from this list?

Ryan Mallett '11 Elite Status Gold 2/15
Another nice little find while searching for cards for trades. When he signs with the Yankees/Mets/Dodgers for $75 million a year after the strike is over, this puppy will be on fee-bay so fast....

Isn't Ishmael the Rocket's brother?
Not related. Rocket Ismail spells his name differently. However, you were kind of on the right track with that. Rocket's younger brother Qadry was a wide receiver that played for Syracuse in the early 90s. So I was thinking maybe a son, a nephew or some other relation. But nope.
I did have to look that up though. I knew about Qadry so I began to wonder if this other guy was related. That is when I noticed the different spellings of the last name.
Gotta love the hologram!
He resembles Sir Michael Irvin in the photo on the back! Spooooky!
This is some ultra viva! Got a couple dings.... but good excuse why....

I'm not into golf but DANG! 1927? Are you getting this graded? Assuming it is authentic that is the type of card that should be graded for sure.

Topps Laser, you complete me.....
Decorated Marine Eddie LeBaron served in Korea in 1951. Bronze Star with V decoration for Valor and Purple Heart. He was a rifleman that was constantly deployed to the front. Honorably discharged in 1952 for completing service requirements and because of injuries sustained in combat. Another true bad-ass from our U.S. military that played in the NFL....
