Sports Card Trifecta #22: Walter Jones
Walter Jones is one of the greatest football players in Seattle Seahawksfranchise history. The Hawks drafted him with the 6th overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft and within a few years he was considered one of the best offensive tackles in the league. He spent his entire career in Seattle, playing in 180 games and starting in each and every one of them. During that time he allowed only twenty-three quarterback sacks and was called for holding only nine times.
The guy is a Seattle Seahawksluminary.
And although his Pro Football Hall of Fameenshrinement won't take place for another six months, this is something I should have done a long time ago.
I present to you guys the newest Sports Card Trifecta to my collection:
Autographed Card: 2007 Topps TX Exclusive Super Bowl Stub #WJ
This is the perfect example of a card company running ahead of the pack for the entire marathon... only to fall flat on their face at the finish line. This set could have been one of the coolest autographed memorabilia cards in my collection had Topps decided to have the players sign the actual Super Bowlticket stub, instead of using bandaids. Oh well... they're still a cool collectible as they celebrate the Hawks'firstSuper Bowltrip.
Memorabilia Card: 2007 All Pro Relics #WJ
Unlike most NFLsuperstars... there aren't a lot of Walter Jonesmemorabilia cards for collectors to choose from. There were a total of nine different cards produced from 2004 to 2008, so there's hardly any room for me to complain about this "player worn" card.
Rookie Card: 1997 Pinnacle Certified #134
Congratulations Mr. Jones! Happy Sunday and sayonara!

Rookie Card: 1997 Pinnacle Certified #134
Do you like bargains? Then look no further, because you won't find a more affordable hall of fame rookie card around. Outside of his silverFinest and serial numberedTotally Certified, you can typically find any of his other eighteen rookie cards for 25ยข or less. Unfortunately offensive linemen don't get a lot of hobby love and 1997 was still part of the Junk Wax Era. That's a lethal combination.
