The Phenomenom of the Trading Card
This trading card idea is one that was introduced to me by "Old School" about 6 years ago. At that time, I told him that was genius! I told him he should move forward with this idea. I am very happy to see it is taking form in some manner.
Imagine having various sets of trading cards with the signatures of legendary names in the game? What a great marketing campaign this could turn in to! I would love to have a "Dirk Thomas", or "Jon Thomas" or "Annette Jackson" card. Then to have them signed by those people would have been great!
A guy like Vance Warren, who never comes online anymore, would rank as one of my favorite cards. I knew Vance's passion for the game and we rarely saw eye-to-eye on rules but I considered him an elite figure in the game. I would have love to had his autograph.
Or one of my best friends like Jay Boy Combs. The mastery of his work would merit him having a high stakes card. Getting his signature would be tough because he does not put himself out there too much. But that's the fun of it!
I'd love to have a guy like Wally Jabs card. One of the true legends of the game. I would want Wally to personalize mine, saying something like "Friends for Life, Walter Jabs".
These cards could be great collectibles for the game of miniature football! It would highlight the great characters of the leagues across the country and tell you the contributions of many.
Now, I am really acting silly. A Vince Peatros card would go high! Vince is like the 500 pound gorilla in the corner that no one wants to talk about. But they would definitely want his card! Peatros would have to sign my personally and write something like "Thanks Reg for marketing me!" One guy once said, with Vince, I created Frankenstein.
There would be so many guys across the country cards I would want to get. I would love their signatures too. It would be just fun trying to collect their signatures.
So yes, this is an idea that I would have love to taken because of the brilliance behind it. I will definitely take some pictures of the characters of the DFW League and get you information on them Wolf!
