I might have been duped on this one... I cant find a Bryant/Irvin version on TCDB or Beckett. There's a Bryant/Emmitt version for all variations but Irvin isn't in any of the variants.
Is it possible you have the wrong year? The copyright year on the back is not always the actual year of the card. I'd check 2014 and 2016 if I were you.
Indeed I did... even did a search on the names Bryant Irvin. None matched. Its funny tho because there's a Gold version on ebay selling dirt cheap (Gold Standard Prices)... I wonder how they did it. The front looks legit, the back with Irvin is kinda fuzzy...
Dan Marino '95 Select Certified Gold Team
I always wondered how Marino was able to hold the ball so low in his pregressions. I decided to do a little research on the subject..... I took 5 QBs and compared their fumbles over their careers to each-other. The numbers surprised me. But this is not totally accurate because I used a 16 game season for each player determining their fumble average. Here's what I cam up with, tho. Take it as a grain of salt, but the numbers can't be too terribly off...
In no particular order...
Marino: 110 fumbles for career - 6.88/season over 17 seasons
Elway: 137 fumbles for career - 8.56/season over 16 Seasons
Aikman: 58 fumbles for career - 3.6/season over 12 seasons (no playing due to cuncussions may impact these numbers)
Brady: 134 fumbles for career - 8.38/season over 21 seasons (remember he missed an entire season at one point)
Favre: 166 fumbles (NFL RECORD) for career - 10.37/season over 19 seasons
So Marino holding the ball so low all the time didn't hamper his play, apparantly. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

The only thing I can remember about Joe Carter is his walk-off... I didn't even know he played for anyone but Toronto!
His chronically off center 1984 Donruss RC is with the Cubs, Then he went to the Indians and Padres, He was then involved in a massive trade when he and Roberto Alomar were traded to the Blue Jays for Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez. That trade really set the stage for the Blue Jays 2 World Series wins.
He is one of those players that I view as a HOFer even though I'd guess his numbers don't illustrate that. A Hall of Very Good player for sure.
See... I had no clue. I just remember my dad going, "holy *****" when he hit the dinger. I even remember when the Royals won the World Series in '85. My dad was going bonkers jumping around the house like a cartoon clown!! My family is from KC... he went outside to voice his pleasure, even... I was too young to understand what was going on, though!! lol
Joe Carter should absolutely be in the Hall of Fame conversation. 396 HR, 1445 RBI, 1170 R, 231 SB, 2184 H, 5x all-star, 2x silver slugger. He's hurt a little by a lifetime BA of .259, which is Killebrew range (but Killer had something like 580 HR). But he does have one of the most iconic World Series HR ever, so that counts for something. That being said, he will probably fall just shy of induction. He was a great power hitter.
Did he sign his name in English or Swedish? Cee Dee Lamb is shaking his head at that one! LOL
I think his 4 year old helped! Im kidding... he was only 3.
I do remember one thing about Bjornson... when we had season tickets and his name came over the loudspeaker my Dad would bend over towards me and repeat Bjornson like he was hurling. For some reason he thought his name sounded like someone was up-chucking....

Add the Cubs, Padres and Indians to the list.
Maybe a weeks worth of Beatles? Found these at an antique store....B&W were $3 each, color were $2....guess I've spent more on worse things! But still a fun pick up for me....

I heard they had to keep one person with Ringo at all times because he got lost so easy....
I'm kidding!
