custom card #10

on November 16th, 2009 by Welden Waverspy

allow me to introduce you to derek moye. the redshirt sophomore has stepped up big time in his first season as a starter. he’s been a huge deep threat, but he could even be bigger. his quarterback, daryll clark, has missed a wide open deep moye numerou…

Spotted my first possible fake patch

on November 13th, 2009 by Welden Waverspy

Here is a Derrick Williams Finest auto patch. It’s not a refractor, and its numbered to 309. So is it just incredibly good luck or a little tampering? You be the judge. Oh yeah the seller has a whopping 12 feedback.

custom card #7

on September 8th, 2009 by Welden Waverspy

freshmen slot man devon smith may be the smallest true freshmen to see action in a penn state opener. standing at 5′7″ and weighing 155 pounds, smith is the size of an 8th grader. what he lacks in size he certainly makes up for in speed. penn state coa…

so daryll clark had himself a day numbers wise against akron. 29-40, 353 yards, 3 tds and a pick. the numbers were great, but they didn’t really reflect how he played. clark seemed a little to pumped up and threw a number of balls high. he was also loc…

my thoughts on topps unique

on August 20th, 2009 by Welden Waverspy
