hehe..just kidding with Q14 there - we are really still only at 13.......but seriously , mj , yes you get another question and obviously asking that does not use it up
also , remember that when submitting a GUESS i need the following : year , brand , set , card number , and player name (ie , 1979 topps 500 terry bradshaw or 1992 fleer all-stars 16 barry larkin)
Is this a parallel ?
no

So after 14 questions we don't even know the player's name - and there's more than a couple hof's on late 90's cards
Late 90's ? Could be anything from 1996-2000 !
Don't even know the brand - could be donruss? score? pinnacle? action packed? madden? leaf?
And then, which insert set ?
I'm not trying to be negative nelly but I've tried to play along and there's just wayyyyy too many variables for 20 questions. Usually the game is "I'm thinking of a person...." or "I'm thinking of a movie.....". I love the concept of 20 questions as a contest but seems to me that player/year/brand/manufacturer/insert set/card # is simply too much.
For this round I'll play along though.....
Question - Is it Elway ?

yes
as for your issues ....it's not supposed to be EASY....i want it to be a challenge....also , the limit of 20 questions means people need to cooperate....i don't mean get together and compare notes , but at least follow the rule i posted (wait for an answer before posting the next question) and then even more important , actually pay attention to those already asked....use them wisely and ask questions that eliminate a high percentage of possible answers in one fell swoop....in most cases , if the right questions are posed , the player should be able to be figured out within 9-12 questions and then the card itself within the remaining questions....anyway , i do apologize if you or anyone else thinks it's too difficult to solve within 20 questions....maybe i'll change it to unlimited questions and just make the prize a decoy card from an unknown upper deck product.....

"use them wisely and ask questions that eliminate a high percentage of possible answers in one fell swoop"
Or get lucky with a guess .... like Elway
Good guess... or you may have concluded, based on previous clues, that Elway was the only AFC, superbowl-playin, HOF QB, between the target period...
Well done!!!I apologize....i forgot about Kelly!!! Didn't realize he was in the hall of fame for losing in four super bowls...lol

Nice. Haha!
actually, i was thinking jim kelly. but anyways, here's my 2nd question....
is it an upper deck product?
is it an upper deck product?
Same. I had it narrowed down to Kelly and Elway but that question cleared it up nicely!

remember , the part about being an afc player and starting a super bowl in no way guaranteed that he started for the AFC in said super bowl .....also , the fact the years for the card were narrowed to a very short time frame didnt guarantee he played during that time frame : in fact there is nothing that says the card had to feature an active player in the year it was made.....as such , my list of POSSIBLE QB's already in the hall of fame , who started a super bowl , and played in the AFC at some point still had 9 names on it (dawson , namath , unitas , griese , bradshaw , montana , marino , elway , and kelly) and i'd almost guarantee that with all the throwback/retro/reprint sets made from 1995-2000 they ALL had at least one card during those years....
yes

Good point, and good analysis, Claude!!!!!
Like I said, LUCKY GUESS !
Upper Deck ? YES ! Another blind squirrel finds a nut. LOL
I don't remember the rules. Can I ask another question ?
Is the card post 1997 ? (meaning 98 - 2000)
