Hi Hendrik, I hope you are well. It is quite cold over here. A similar card to this is an American Football card from the set "1996 Score WLAF", card #5 of Manfred Burgsmüller. The former Bundesliga attacker became a placekicker for the Rhein Fire after retiring from footy. I just thought this is a cool tidbit of sporting history. Best, Henry
ReplyDeleteHi Henry,
DeleteI love quirky cards like this. He also appears in another card in that series. I'll add both of them and the checklist in the next day or two.
Cheers,
Alan
