The listing, LOOK! -RICKY WILLIAMS - Football AND Baseball RCs!! has ended.
Ricky Williams rookie cards, both football AND baseball.
Baseball is 1999 Just Minors.
Football is 1999 Aurora (by Pacific).
Ricky was a two sport star in college. I was living in Austin in 1997 and 1998 and saw him play both sports ... and yes, he was valuable in both.
After breaking the NCAA rushing record, Williams was one of the most highly touted rushers ever to enter the NFL, drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 1999. He enjoyed a couple of decent seasons before being traded to the Dolphins and failing a drug test, failing for showing dirty for marijuana. Given the option of making millions or smoking weed, Williams chose the sticky-icky, and walked away from football.
OK, OK, he came back ...
Then he failed ANOTHER test. And another. And another. Four violations in all.
And, of course, he came back.
In fact, this season he was with the Baltimore Ravens and on the last day of the season became the 26th running back in NFL history to surpsass 10,000 yards. This guy is like a football star AND a stoner hero.
Besides being a good pair of collector's cards, these are a great conversation piece.
Happy bidding!
I ship via USPS first class mail with the cards well protected.
